Tumbang Preso

For the purpose of making the game enjoyable and exciting, the composition of players should not be more than 9. One player guards the milk can (the "It") while the others stay behind the toe-line with their pamato. The objective is for the players to hit and knock down the milk can with the pamato, and for the It to put back the can inside a small circle a few meters away from the toe-line. When a player is tagged while recovering their pamato, they become the It. 

Items needed in this game

• An it.

• Two or more players.

• A rectangular field

• A can.

• A pair of slippers or a piece of flat stone as a “pamato.” 

• A chalk or any marking tool for lines and indicators

The mechanics of tumbang preso are somewhat similar to Duck on the Rock:

1. An It, is the one to guard the tin can is chosen by throwing the pamato to the toe-line by all the players. Whoever's pamato is farthest from the toeline is the It.

2. The hitters will get ready at the back of the toe-line and at a signal from the game starts.

3. The pamato must be retrieved immediately once the can is knocked down, the It will start putting it up inside the circle, the one tagged becomes the It.

4. When the can is hit and falls outside the circle but remains standing, the It has the right to tag the hitter once the hitter leaves the toe-line.

5. The can may be kicked or knocked down under when it is outside the circle.

6. If a hitter is not able to retrieve his/her pamato, the others can save him/her by hitting the can.
