| 説明 | Cuyo, cockfighting, attaching the knifeA cockfight is a blood sport between two cocks, held in a ring called a cockpit. During Magellan's voyage of discovery of the Philippines in 1521, modern cockfighting was first witnessed and documented by Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, in the kingdom of Taytay.The combatants, referred to as gamecocks (not to be confused with game birds), are specially bred and conditioned for increased stamina and strength. Cocks possess congenital aggression toward all males of the same species. Wagers are often made on the outcome of the match.Cockfighting, locally termed Sabong, is a popular pastime in the Philippines, where both illegal and legal cockfights occur. Knives or gaffs are used. All knives are attached on the left leg of the bird, but depending on agreement between owners, blades can be attached on the right or even on both legs. Bets are usually taken by the kristo, so named because of his outstretched hands when calling out wagers from the audience and skillfully doing so purely from memory.Cuyo Island is the largest island of the Cuyo Archipelago. The Cuyo Archipelago or Cuyo Islands, is a group of about 45 islands lying to the northeast of the island of Palawan, and part of the province of Palawan, Philippines. Altogether, over 45,000 people inhabit the Cuyo Archipelago. It is centered on the largest island of the archipelago, Cuyo Island, which is about 13 kilometres long, 7.5 kilometres wide, and with an area of 57 square kilometres. Cuyo Island is volcanic. It is under the jurisdiction of the municipalities of Cuyo and Magsaysay. Cuyo is the oldest town in Palawan with a culture of its own, which was preserved for more than 350 years. During the Spanish colonisation of the Philippines, Cuyo became the second capital of Palawan from 1873 to 1903. Cuyo town and its cultural and natural environs are being considered to be nominated in the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Site declaration in the future. Dominating the town centre is Cuyo's church, convent, and fort built by the Spanish and finished in 1680.(sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockfight and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuyo_Archipelago) |
