Traditional games are viewed as the ideal platform for "promoting peace,
harmony, goodwill, and camaraderie" in many Philippine communities, particularly
since today's generation is different, with most youngsters glued to their phones,
iPods, and PSPs while sitting in a corner. And one of the example of this traditional
games is kadang. Kadang-kadang is one of the old games in the Philippines. Rural
kids were playing it for as long as our folks can remember. But, the game was
officially acknowledged only in 1969 during a local sports event. Kadang-Kadang or
karang(in Bisaya), and Tiyakad(in Tagalog) means Bamboo Stilts game in English.
This game originated in Cebu, Central Philippines.

The activity was really fun, i enjoyed it so much. This activity really reminds
me of the memories I had during my younger year. This is a relay game and alternating
players. This begins from starting line turn rushes to the goal line. Players race to
reach the goal line, turns around, going back to starting line. Player tags the next
player and it goes on until the end.

Kadang is not just a game but it also contribute something. It will able to build
up concentartion, teamwork, and sportmanship. The game important element is
balance. Playing this game can give us enjoyment and fun, in which it allows us to
have a good time while participating a culturally significant activity.

ingrained in the country's cultural heritage. It serves as both entertainment and an educational tool,
passed down from one generation to the next. This game is best enjoyed with 5 or more players, as the
added challenge makes it even more exciting. As the game becomes more challenging, it also becomes
more enjoyable, requiring players to focus on concentration, speed, and strength.
To determine who becomes "Doktor Kwak Kwak," players can engage in rounds of "rock-
paper-scissors" or similar games. The player who loses takes on the role. They then turn away while
the other players form a circle and begin intertwining their bodies, passing under or over each other's
hands while seated and holding hands. Once tangled, players call out to "Doktor Kwak Kwak" for
help. The chosen player untangles the group, cuts the circle, and the chase begins to select the next
"Doktor Kwak Kwak."

interactions and building friendships. The competitive yet lighthearted nature of the game can also
