How to play the “Tumbang-preso”

Summary

The video explains how to play a game called 'Pomato Dum Bum Presser.' It involves nine or fewer players, an empty can, chalk, and slippers (called 'pomato'). The players draw a line and a circle with the can in the center. The objective is to hit the can with the pomato from behind the line, while 'the it' (the player assigned as 'it') tries to tag others who must retrieve their pomato if they miss. Teamwork and strategy are key as players must avoid being tagged and can become the new 'it' based on the game's rules.
