Remembering Some of the Philippine Games and Toys

When I was growing up as a young boy in the Philippines, we didn't have video games, flat screen TV, or a TV for that matter.  I have 3 other brothers and we kept ourselves entertained but we have neighbors and cousins that we played with.  We kept ourselves busy with many games and toys.  We played shatung, kick the can, we played with spiders, we made our own top, rubber bands, jolens, and for me I always have my tirador (sling shot).  

It was fun growing up in the Philippines.  Here are some interesting links related to Philippine kid games:
