MISA DE GALLO

CARREO by Rolando S. Luzong

Peoples Tonight (December 16, 2008)

MISA DE GALLO

Simbang gabi or Misa de Gallo began this morning, but do you know why it was called Misa de Gallo?

Gallo means cock or rooster in Spanish and Misa de Gallo is also called the Rooster’s Mass, which actually pertains to the nine-day novena that begins in the dawn of December 16 up to Christmas eve. It was so called Misa de Gallo because it is held at the time when the roosters start crowing.

Like in the many facets of Philippine culture, we can see that even religious activities show how popular is cockfighting or sabong is in the Philippines.

SABONG IN ELECTIONS

Even in Philippine politics, sabong influence is very much felt. A person may ask another “Sino ba ang manok mo”, which would mean “Who are you going to vote for”.

Or “Pumapalo sa survey ang manok mo” which means “You’re bet is gaining in the surveys”.

SABONG IN OUR DAILY LIVES

A man who is seen courting a girl maybe said to be “gumigiri” and a person who has poor vision at night is called “matang-manok”.

A person who may say “Taglugon ako ngayon”, to signify that he is jobless or has no money. Taglugon means molting season.

CONGRATULATIONS ENGR. MOY

Engr. Moises Almuete, Jr. or simply Moy to his friends is starting to make his presence felt, in explosive fashion.

After capturing a share of championship of the UGBA Big Event One-Day 8-Stag Derby of the United Gamecock Breeders Association held at Makati Coliseum on the 3^rd week of November together with Cong. Lawrence Wacnang, Engr. Almuete brought his act to Cebu and with a score of 7 wins and 1 loss bagged solo victory in the NFGB Presidents Cup 1-Day 8-Stag Derby held at the New Talisay Cockpit in which 27 of the 29 presidents of NFGB member-associations took part.

Almuete fought a fleet of Sweater blend of Bruce & Dink; Dan Gary Roundhead with 20 Grand Kelso & Gilmore Hatch; hOward Belk Claret x Dan Gray Roundhead-Hatch plus Leiper /Blueface Hatch x Kelso.
