In Philippine setting, playing games is part of growing up. A few games are physically energizing, testing, and rationally boosting.
In the Philippine pastime, adolescents and grown-ups continue saving through get-together at courts or having a social gathering elsewhere to play amusements. Filipinos are exceptionally clever in each circumstance; we played simple games utilizing basic articles. Like jars, stones, sticks, balls and some more. One of the played games for youngsters in what we call Pikyaw in our local tongue and this amusement is prominently known as: Syatong or Syato Syatong; in Tagalog and Ilocano Pitiw Chato/Chatong, Shatung in Bisaya. It is one of the customary youngsters' games in the Philippines.
This game is typically played by at least two players, one flat stick (as a rule 3 inches) and one short flat bit of wood (4 inches for the most part a piece cut from the level stick). Player 1 hitter and Player 2 as the catcher. Played outside on the ground where you burrow a little square inclined opening where you put the little wood so it stands out. Player 1 hits the wood with the stick so it gets air enough to be hit by the stick. The further the wood gets hit the more focuses you get, normally checked by the quantity of stick length Player 2 then again needs to foresee and get the little bit of wood to invalidate the focuses and turn into his turn or anticipate Player 1 to miss hitting the wood.

I personally played Pikyaw in my youth days where I truly delighted in it a great deal. I used to play these games with my brothers, sisters, cousins and different friends, however it appears that kids these days doesn't have any thought how to play this game due to technology changes since they were conceived in the period of innovation.

It gave us the positive effect in our psychological, passionate, physical and moral being.
