Philippine Cockfighting

When I was a kid, my uncle brought me to the Sabungan to watch his gamefowls fight.

The cocks of my uncle were the champions.

When I was watching the fight, I felt nervous because I thought that the cocks were going to be killed, but after the sintenshador annouced the winner I was relieved.

This is my unforgettable experience going to the cockpit.
