Langit Lupa

Langit-lupa is chasing game, a variation of


habulan where players can be immune from
being tagged as long they stand on an
elevated surface.

Luksong Tinik
- jump over the thorns - Two players serve as the base of
the tinik (thorn) by putting their right or left feet together
(soles touching gradually building the tinik). A starting
point is set by all the players, giving enough runway for
the players to achieve a higher jump, so as not to hit the
tinik. Players of the other team start jumping over the
tinik, followed by the other team members.
Maro/ Agawan base/prisoner base
There are two teams with two
bases. How many players on each
team depends on the players. There
are two bases which each team
claims as their own. The goal is to
tag the other team's base without
getting tagged. If you're tagged,
you're transferred to the other team
and must be rescued. There are
several variations in which the rules
are changed, in some, you can
connect other items on the base so
you can easily touch the base.
