Maro/Agawang Base/Stealing Base Agawan Base, One of my Favorite Traditional Game in 80's Agawan base is another traditional games in Philippines that is so popular from the past 2-3 decades. In our old school in Elementary, these game is one of our favorite, especially the boys. We are playing this game starting Grade1 up to Grade 6 during break time and after class. The mechanics is easy and better if you are many players for each teams. There are two teams assigned for each base. The base we used before is a flat stone, this stone is approximately five to ten inches in diameter and we typically placed at the bottom of tree's trunk or side of a wall. The distance between two bases is good for about thirty to fifty meters for better allowance and mobilization. The goal of each team is to tag the other team's base using their feet, then shouting "base!!!". It is usual practice to guard your base by one to two person while other players of your team are running to tagged opponent players or their base. The technique in this game is to attract opponent players to run for you and attempt to tag you while you are trying to make close in their base for a possible tag, same idea with other member of your team so your opponent base will be left less guarded and an opportunity for your team to make a tag. Take note that the penalty of being tagged is you will become prisoner of the other team. Increasing your prisoners is a technique also to minimize the guard of your opponents’ base, but on the other side it will become disadvantage because all prisoners will link each other using their hand or feet connected to make short distance from your base waiting for rescue from their team. The decision which one wins will be based on the score of tagged for each other’s base. Sometimes there is a possibility that both teams has no score because time is short or due to a better defense for each base against the tagger. Typically we played this game minimum of thirty minutes to one hour with five to ten players for each team until every one are tired enough to run. Ate Thuts para mas lalo mong maintindihan. Huehue The participants are divided into two teams with equal number of . The objective of the game is for one team to try and capture the base of the other by reaching the other's home base first and tagging a pre-decided item (e.g. a tree trunk, a rock, etc.) symbolizing the opposite team’s home base without getting tagged by the defending of the opposite team. A safety line is drawn between the two teams.

A member of an opposing team who crosses the safety line into the territory of the other team can be chased and tagged by the team that owns that base. If the attacker gets tagged before he or she manages to get back to his or her safety zone or home base, he or she becomes a prisoner of the opposite team. He or she can be rescued by a teammate when tagged without the teammate getting tagged by the guard or one of the defenders of the opposing team. The game ends when a member of an opposing team manages to tag the symbol of the other team or when all the of one team are captured by the other team, leaving their home base free for the opposite team to attack and capture. AGAWAN BASE Agawan Base literally means "capturing base". It is played by two teams with a minimum of 3 players for each team. The more players the merrier. This game isusually played on the beach since this game involves running, chasing, or tagging,and accidental falling is inevitable. It will be less traumatic if the player falls onthe sand. Grassy area is also an ideal place to play this game in. Agawan Base can beplayed together by children and adults. It is sort of a war-like game.Each team has a base to protect from capturing or seizing. Once the base iscaptured, the team losses. The bases is usually marked by digging a shallow hole, about 10” in diameter and place something like beach sandals, or shirt, or towel, oranything to it to make the base visible to the all players. You can use a pair ofmulti-surface bases used for standard games. The two bases should be at least tento fifteen meters apart.To capture the opponent's base, one just need to step on it, or touch it,without being tagged. . Each base must have, at least, one guard http://noypicollections.blogspot.com/2011/07/agawan-base-one-ofmy-favorite.html http://www.globalpinoy.com/gp.topics.v1/viewtopic.php? postid=4d3fc0adcd4df&channelName=4d3fc0adcd4df https://www.idoub.com/doc/115441366/Agawan-Base
