TYOPE & TARIAN

Tyope is a Filipino word for a form cheating in cockfighting. Like in this case, the cock in the right (the one w/ white feathers) was the one giving all the blows but the other one never gets wounded. Most spectators said the knife must have been misaligned intentionally by the gaffer because the owner of the cock in the left is the owner of the cockpit arena. Makes sense right?


TARIAN is cockfighting usually held in backyards of gamecock owners. Also known as tupada. Most of the times they use roosters w/c are already not fit for the cockpit arena.
