- In tagaytay city, south of Manila in the Philippines, video games are unknown to the locales; instead, live spiders are used for fighting for fun, sport and gamble. Here, some local kids enjoyed showing me how it's done, with spiders taken from the tropical rain forest around Taal lake. Very interesting!
Oh gosh, memories. When I was growing up in the Philippines, there was a spider vendor who sells them outside our school. 2.50 pesos for midsize and big one is 5 pesos.
province kids dont play video/computer games, they play spider fighting! brings back good ol' memories
@phoenixblade84
yes, come on over and enjoy the life in the Philippines... you'll love it!
dammm i missed this!!! this is my child hood memories..
When I go to the Philippines for vacation this summer I will buy lots of fighting spiders and sell them to my friends in Canada LOL!
brings back good childhood memories for me
@scraperindustry some towns in the philippines have their own local names specific to a class of spiders. in cebu, we call both damang. There are some spiders that are called, marka bankaw, 123, aluman, etc.
My dad told me stories about his youth days collecting spiders in the forest and getting them to fight other spiders caught by kids. I didn't really believe him till I saw this lol. Interesting hobby though I also heard of beetle battles in japan
Thanks to all for the response and for enjoying the video!
the best spider i had in philippines was a hairy black-reddish spider, i bought it from someone who catches it at night
ahh, i remember those days... i miss the philippines.
@johnscky03 Sa Pampanga tawag namin sa lumalaban panggalamay, expert ako sa pag huli and pag kilatis ng panggalamay nung bata pa ako kaso halos wala na ngayon kasi konti nalang halaman sa amin.
@TheIceGurl - hi, it's probably not a black widow; thanks for viewing!
upas ta ah hahaha
hehehe
pinakamahirap hanapin pag bumibili ka ng spiders ay ung "MARKA PUNTOK" ...sold out palagi mga ganun. sobrang tapang kc ng mga un. haha
yeah lol, i remember when i was a teen, we loveto hunt spiders in ricefields where most of them live. hehehe and it really doesnt bite u unless u harm them. the only danger in this hobby is when hunting spiders in ricefields, there can be snakes around
Yep, Here in Philippines, we let anything that moves for example lizard, beetle, cockroach, manny pacquiao.
I love playing spiders!
if u live in canada... u can find those king of spiders in bushes...they only make their spider web during 6pm... and destroy their own web in the morning... so its hard to find spiders like that
glad you folks enjoyed this one!
the owners do try hard finding the strong ones, cuz they are mostly found at night in the woods,and they really go to the woods carrying only a flashlight, its fun though.because in america the only fun thing they know is Video games. they dont know there are better stuff than that.
Boys, you guys ought to have the fight on lower ground so if the spider falls, they don't get injured. Better yet put cushioning for them to fall.
i used to do this is the philippines... oh those were the days... although i would always get owned. even though i pick out the best spider, my friend's spiders would always have a bigger body.... making me lose all the time.. :(
lol my cousins and I use to do this when we were young good times....
oh yeah there you go... now this is the real deal.. the tradition street spider fight.. only in the philippines.. im glad. i can still see this thing happens lol.. it reminds me when i was young.. Sorry no largest spiders.. cuz they don't web line.. unlike three spiders
pati ako naglalaro pa nito meron nga ako eh........
WOOOOHOOO! now that is some fun shit. the best sport(gambling) at the philippines. now thats the life!
@TheIceGurl no. its not a black widow. it may look like a black widow but its not. actually they are harmless and not venomous.
I play card games with my Spiders!
Its called Spider-solitair :o
ha i use to do this when i was a kid so fun!!
I used to do this at CSA (Makati) circa 1975-1977. I had faster hands then lol
i miss those days !!
They naturally don't bite for some reason, unless they're really pissed or hungry or when in rage. I think this goes the same on all spiders, tho I personally wouldn't mess with the large ones. That's creepy shit. Haven't done this in a while.
@Rhomeozon you gotta know which spiders dont bite the spiders that they catch are cannibalistics or bug eaters
b4 putting ur spider into fight with same size or bigger, try let it fight a smaller one first, itll give ur spider fighting spirit lol
fitting that one kid has a pokemon shirt on
This is great
I remember buying 1 for 20 bucks (pesos) and its really fun except when they fight its gonna take a while till it recovers and ready 2 fight again
we feed them with the losing spider, because sometimes the spider just end up covered by a web and eat them.we also put it in a plant full of insects and put it in a big jar.i lost my spider ones I CRIED!
@scraperindustry --- I have no idea! LOL!
me and my friends always do that in school we put them on a stick and the battle is on
anyway... i used to play that stuff and luckily i always win... jajajaj im lucky enough to have that long legged kind of spiders...
geez can't believe I used to play those.
@TheRuinedHalo109 oh you, there wont be any shortages of spiders anytime soon lol
@martini9799 Thanks, man. You too.
Philippines confirmed for pokemon trainners
I live in canada is there anywhere i can get agressive spiders like that?
Its really fun, do you know that they train it? and put it in some hot or cold conditions and make it use to weather?its really works actually they get strong,and they are like the veterenarians of spiders cuz they sometimes bring a spider back to life.
Omg i used to do this to back in pinas!!!
...the first spider looks strong and mean but it needs to lose a little weight...lol...anyway, before they fight spiders, they also match them, like leg/body size, it should be the same size...like in boxing too...train your spiders first before you fight it....at least 2 weeks...^_^
@multiomnimon how are you trying to catch them?we catch them by hand, easiest way to catch them is when theyre in their web...and easiest way to find them is at night just bring some lights and youre good to go.
hahah actually cuz most of the spider in america are poisonous but not rEally quite vicious, but in the philippines they are opposite, not venomous but super vicious, but not to their masters.
I do not think PETA will mind this kind of animal cruelty.
lol some adults tried my best spider gladiator back when i was a teen, he bought it for 300 pesos! hahahah he sed he'll gonna use it to some spider derby fight
what is the name of the spider what has tiger marks on his back and with 7 centimeters in diameter ??? because i found it here in Romania .
how do u get them not to bite u?
i have a spider called "taga mais" red color, hairy body and long leged.. i have won 5 times but it died on the 6th fight..
lol come here to the philippines and ull see!!! haha its fun. if u havent tried it, ur missing 1/4 of ur life
Ayaw kulang sa mga gagamba ay kapag nanganak na, ilang araw lang mamamatay na.
Philippines have no fear including me of spider well some girls but most of Philippines
woaw they're using pregnant spiders.
My tarantula will destroy all of them. Then again, i'd rather let my tarantula enjoy living in its terrarium rather than putting him on a stick with another spider that doesn't have a clue that it's a goner
Damn 300 pesos?! We'll if he uses to gamble then he might get more than what he paid for XD
I live in Canada where can I get some spiders that fight
maghiram ako! lol
me and my cousin from the philippines find spiders here at home, maui, hawaii. we fight them but they aren't as big as the ones shown in the video. i'd love to bring the sport here, if you know anything about it, pm me some info on raising them. thanks. :]
I have a spider called Manny Pacquiao, and his coach is a cockroach named freddy.
My spider kicked allot of Ass especially his rival, Gaywheather.
@iblinker182 I think everybody (well most) people here in the philippines arent afraid of spiders crawling on their arm heck i even let beetles crawl on my uniform when i find some in school its like a badge or something
They don't bite you unless you harm them or do something stupid. Lol
you can't allow camel spider or tarantula , other big spider to fight on the small one.. because is not even.. and plus is not part of the rule.. the rule is to fight on the stick.. if you gonna have camel spider. then fine.. get the big black scorpion .. let see who wins..
@martini9799 No, people in North Americans are just too scared to even touch it because they think they'll die if they get bitten. I've been bitten by these more than 10 times and shit didn't even left a mark.
@scraperindustry he offered you 5 pesos...do you know that's so cheap?....he'll only gave you gagambang bahay ( house spiders or...i don't know...xD ) ....you must keep watch of spiders they offer you...you must pick the one who has black stripes on their legs...or big ones with reddish coclors....that's the strong spiders.......
@TheStygianAbyss24 i know mate ur right huh bth i dnt like spiders mutch th are not dangerouse it looks pret big huh..... nice fun ther hu take care mate
@FilipinoSwagga filipino are pro at keeping spiders
It's hard to find good spiders.
that spider called cat face spider
hahaha alam ko na yan easy lang yan meron ako black knight malaki
ahh childhood
they dont bite their owners.
what kind of spiders are those? First time I watched this was when I visited my grandmother in Baliwag. There was one kid who says he'd find me larger spiders for five pesos per spider. lol.
species neoscona scylla......
@kipzaren Yeah, guess it makes sense. I saw someone who breeds tarantulas give the male the latest shed skin of the female to build his confidence before putting him with the male. I guess it worked because he got a sac out of it. X-D
Aerial Combo!
TAKTE!! un gagambam ko pinapak lang ng langgam
