Patintero

Yabang Pinoy, an organization of passionate believers and supporters of all things Filipino, stages a tournament of one of the nation’s most beloved street sport.

In celebration of the country’s Independence Day, it organizes the longest rally of patintero enthusiasts, the “Todo Gulo, Todo Bilis, Todo Saya, Todo Pawis, Todo Talon, Todo Bilis, Todo SAYA–Pinakamahabang Todo Patintero.” The fun event is on June 21 (Sunday), from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the University of the Philippines Diliman.

Yabang Pinoy’s “Pinakamahabang Todo Patintero” event assembles all the members and advocates of the organization, for them to meet other shouting proud Filipinos and be part of a single powerful collective. To compete, participants must form teams of six to eight members; there are no restrictions, so anyone can join.

Yabang Pinoy also introduces new rules to the game, including terms like patotot, empoy, and back touch. With hope, according to Yabang Pinoy, this will start the resurgence of realizing the fun in being Filipino.
