Another of my favorite 'PoTown' activities was the Sunday afternoon cockfights in the local arena. Plenty of San Miguel available, lots of betting conducted, and you got to witness some of the most mean, pissed off chickens... carving each other up with the zest of a deranged ISIS murderer!
Bets were made in the stands between the local fans and cock owners/handlers with shouts and a series of complicated hand signals (to agree on cock selections, odds, and $P amount). I remember on knowledgeable fan cautioning us to keep our hands down, and fingers out of sight during pre-fight betting, saying "if you merely pick your nose, you may just have made a $50P bet on one of the cocks in the next fight"!
Q & A: Asked of an Olongapo fighting cock handler: "What's the fate of the losing cock"? "It ends up as the entree' in the losing Owner's family stew pot for the evening meal"!
Good times in 'Po!

Looking back at this thread, I should add Haifa, Corfu and Rhodes. Any other favorite ports?
