"Bulong Pari" is a customary Philippine game which implies in English "Whisper It To The
Priest." As the name suggests, it is a whispering game prevalently referred to in the Visayan
district as "Honghonganay".

It requires two teams with no less than 5 individuals each. The more members, the better. Two
individuals will serve as the Leaders of each group while one player assumes the role of the Priest
who should remain at around 5 meters away from the two groups.

The leader of Team A will approach the priest and whisper the name of one of the individuals from
Team B. The priest at that point gets out "Lapit!" or "Approach!" to summon one player from
Team B.

In the event that it happens to be a same individual specified before by the leader of Team A, the
priest will say "Bang!" and he or she turns into a detainee. If not, the player who moved toward
the priest will get a chance to specify the name of one of the players of Team A.

The group with few or no players left becomes the loser.

Another variety of the game is otherwise called "Singsingan". As the name proposes, a player
assumes the part of a priest looking for a missing ring. He will then think about who among the
group of players the ring has. On the off chance that he finds the correct individual, the priest will
then squeeze the player's ears as a discipline.

PENALTY: Each of the players of the losing team carries one player of the winning team on
his back to and fro as many times as agreed.
