Fighting cocks in the Philippines: the video
Atmosphere of madness, in an arena of cockfighting, in the Philippines! This video was shot in 2008 on the small island of Siquijor, in the Visayas. Sensitive souls refrain.
Fighting cocks die on Sundays...
In the Philippines, cockfighting is very popular. Neal, our dive guide in Siquijor, and Raul, who manages the Kiwi Resort, suggested us to go and see these bloody bird fights, at the nearest cockfighting arena, in the village of Enrique Villanueva.
Would you like some more nudibranchs?
Since I've been in Siquijor, I've been diving and snorkelling every day... Yesterday, our guide, Neal, took us out to explore the seabed at Salagdoong Beach, which I had already explored on the landward side during my motorcycle trip last week.
Sweetness of life in Siquijor
I am under the spell of the island of Siquijor, in the Philippines ... I continue to discover it, a little random, according to my walks after the dives.
The little eyebrow raise
Filipinos have a way of greeting you. To point out that they have seen you, noticed, seen, to say hello fast by the way, instead of a small nod, or a smile like in Thailand, they raise their eyebrows.
Siquijor, the quiet island
I did a good job of leaving for Siquijor without waiting. On arrival, I find an almost deserted beach, the beautiful Sandugan Beach.
