Description

Tumbang Preso, a classic Filipino street game, combines elements of tag and strategy. It involves players aiming to knock down a can (the "preso") while avoiding being tagged by the "it" player guarding it. The game is a staple of Filipino childhood, promoting camaraderie and physical activity.

Rules and Regulations

1. Participants: At least three players, one acting as the “it” or the prisoner.

2. Objective: Players aim to hit the can with their slippers while the "it" tries to return the can to its original position.

3. Gameplay:

   • Players stand behind a marked throwing line, usually 6-8 meters away from the can.

   • They take turns throwing slippers at the can.

   • If the "it" tags a player before they retrieve their slipper, the tagged player becomes the new “it.”

4. Winning Tip: Accuracy and speed are key; well-aimed throws and quick retrieval of slippers are crucial​
