Cock Fight Betting in the Country

During fiestas or holidays in the Philippines, you will often see men huddle around what is popularly known as a “coliseum.” However, it is quite different from the coliseum during the ancient Roman times where gladiators fought for their lives. In the Philippines, a coliseum is where a cock fight derby takes place. Men from different places gather in this place with their champion roosters and bet considerable amounts of money in the hopes of doubling or even tripling it. It is a very popular activity especially in the provinces because people who are experienced in this kind of activity can win a lot of money just by betting on the winning cock. Some people even make this their means of living. So experience for yourself the fun in the Filipino version of a coliseum when you visit this fascinating country.
