PATINTERO, GO: That afternoon, as Mario, my barber, worked on my lush hair cascading down to my shoulders, I was happy to note that “Wowowin” promotes native Filipino games.
One of the segments in the program is Patintero, which requires participants to play a round or two of the game. I thought it was one good way to remind our young people that once upon a time, patintero was a common, favorite pastime among Filipino children.
