I think above anything else, this 'vice' is well-rooted down to the very core of those who legitimize it that these people could find their sense of identity with. Make sense? Me neither...<br /><br />ANyways, Joe, you should have seen this coming. You're slowly being engulfed by this culture you've once found to be to much for you. Where there was once disgust, appreciation finally is stepping in. I wouldn't be surprised if one of this days, you'll be investing in cock farms in your bamboo-rich backyard...<br /><br />hmm.1DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562476653572543721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-44172160695500690102011-09-28T16:45:05.194+08:002011-09-28T16:45:05.194+08:00Mariano, nice travel plans.

I wonder as to the architecture these days. When I was there is was heavily influenced by the French overlaid by assorted screens and chicken wire to keep the bombs and grenades at bay.<br /><br />Point heard re. cock fights.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-74080539219927689792011-09-28T15:03:09.479+08:002011-09-28T15:03:09.479+08:00Amen to that, Mariano.

Cockfights on Fiestas is not even an excuse. I agree, most people that go there are economically challenged and needing a heavy dose of anger management. The aficionados has that corrupt-crocodile look. These people feed their cocks with vitamins and good food more than their children. Early in the morning they pat and bath their cocks not even helping their wife and children ready for work and school. How dare they. Their priorities are really skewed.Mariano Renatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920187760151863841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-27282906122449619312011-09-28T04:43:35.898+08:002011-09-28T04:43:35.898+08:00Anon, yes I've noticed that much of the bettin...Anon, yes I've noticed that much of the betting is done by people of little means. I suspect that life is very dry and laborious for them, and an occasional opportunity to blow it out is needed or what's the purpose of the struggle? Americans might overextend in Vegas, or on a bottle or drugs, or on a fancy car that is not really needed to get from point A to point B. I used to collect my dimes and blow it on a trip to Malaysia or somewhere off the beaten path. I could have used it to buy some poor people a meal.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-16017653306694154132011-09-27T23:07:03.821+08:002011-09-27T23:07:03.821+08:00Cockfighting is actually a reflection of the Phili...Cockfighting is actually a reflection of the Philippines' dysfunctional culture. Most cockfighting fanatics won't think twice about betting at least P100 AND THEN complain that they are unable to come up with one square meal a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
