EN: cockfighting
It's the national pastime for many 'titos' and 'tatays'. More than just a sport, it's a culture of breeding, betting ('pusta'), and a whole lot of shouting ('hiyawan'). You'll hear terms like 'meron' and 'wala', and see intense action that's faster than your internet connection. It's the original e-sports, but with real chickens.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *sabuŋ (to fight, of cocks).
While a popular pastime, it is often associated with gambling. 'E-sabong' refers to the online version.
