• W4387369088 abstract "SUNDAY IS FORSABON- bitso. MaMa for her binanglcal. Manang Alepia for her maruya and bibingka. Juanita and Frances for their assorted Mexican foods. And Mary for her chicken fried in manteca - lard rendered from a recently butchered bog which guaranteed great tasting. A regular feast since at least one of our uncles was bound to win a wager on a cock and we would then get treated to one ofthe above delicacies. More often than not, the food always seemed to sell out. If by chance, someone had not sold out, there was always a willing manong who would buy out the balance and distribute them to all the kids waiting for handouts. Since errands also included getting foodstuff for our uncles, our reward was either food or loose change which then provided us with pocket money. Volume 6 2004 A dubious responsibility which we all had to learn was to lie to the authorities at the occasional raid. Since we were usually forewarned, our story was that we were celebrating an event such as a baptism. By seeing all the large families present and a string band playing the hit tunes of the times, how could they prove otherwise. The actual locations for these cockfights changed over the years. The one thing they had in common was its invisibility from the road. It was always to the rear of a large building such as a barn, behind a grove of trees, and even in the middle of a large bamboo grove. Since most of the participants lived locally, there was no need of a permanent structure for a cockpit. All that was needed was for the audience to form a large circle around the combating cocks. Of course, one always needed to be alert to not get in the way of flying roosters with sharp blades attached to their legs. One aspect of these cockfights that I didn't understand until much later was the virtual exclusion of Puti. At best, only a few Caucasians ever attended. To a lesser degree, this exclusion also applied to the 1/ocanos that Jived 20 miles away. The rationale given me was that this separation assured a peaceful cockfight. Thus, the suspicion, rivalry and jealousy among people of different races and regions of the Philippines were kept in check. This was later confirmed to my satisfaction as I witnessed increased tension and even violence upon occasion when this mixing took place. As I think back, the tendency to back your kababayans with betting wagers at any cost was the underlying reason. It was not unusual for the women and children to be sent home when a significant number of these outsiders arrived. It was later told to me this exclusion was the preferred arrangement by both the leaders of the Filipino community and local authorities. This arrangement kept everything under control. However, favors, payoffs, and bribes assured the success of the arrangement. Select men. such as my father, were entrusted with this responsibility. At these events, certain men were accorded a high degree of respect and authority. By virtue of their presence, outbursts of temper were held in check. Their appearance assured a more relaxed atmosphere. My own father was one of these men. I, personally, observed him calming people down, leading them away from potential conflict, and even persuading them to hand him their weapons. Once, this even included an ax! His persuasive powers were legendary. To this day, me and my brothers still talk about his skills as a peacemaker in whispered, awed tones. Filipino American National Historical Society Journal 34 During this era, most of the cockfights took place at our home and site of the Jamero Labor Camp. Inasmuch as there were already well over a hundred men living here with just as many roosters, our camp was an obvious choice of locale. Also, our camp had ready-made advantages over other sites. A large building had been built to meet the recreational needs of the men. In it were two pool tables, one billiard table, and several tables to accommodate Pinoy Rummy games and dominoes. A television set was later installed. More tables could be placed outside..." @default.
