As a kid I read a paragraph in a Plummer book about cockfighting in the Philippines,when I lived in Hong Kong it was cheap to fly to Manila,I went a few times to the Araneta in Quezon City for the world championships,then when I moved over to Mindanao I went most Sundays,it’s huge business over there,the atmosphere in a decent cockpit is incredible,go if you can,every village,town,city has cockfighting on Sundays,something you would never forget.
