For people to cause two bull cows or water buffalo to fight each
other using their horns.
Aroy! May patongay don ong plasa!
Oh my! There's a fight
between
two
bulls happening there in
the plaza!
In the past cattle were set free in December during dry
season in order to roam around and find their own food.
But before letting the bulls loose, the owners would cause
them to fight each other. This was done so that later, when
the two bulls met, they would not fight since it had already
been determined which one of them was stronger. This
practice was commonly done in Villa Fria where there
were a lot of cows and a wide space for them to fight in.
