Philippine Cockfighting

Cockfighting is a national pastime in the Philippines and is called sabong in Tagalog. Cockfights are usually held every day of the week including holidays, especially in the provinces. Curved blades usually made from high quality steel that extend to as long as three inches are attached to one or both of a rooster's legs.
