Gameplay
editThe game is played by two or more players while clapping and chanting the following Tagalog verses:
"Nanay, Tatay, gusto ko’ng tinapay, Ate, Kuya, gusto ko’ng kapé. Lahát ng gusto ko ay súsundin niyó; ang mágkamalì ay pípingutin ko!"
(“Mummy, Daddy, I want some bread; Big sister, Big brother, I want coffee. All I want, you’re gonna do; make a mistake and I’m going to pinch you!”)
The moment a player makes a mistake, they will be "punished" by the other player by getting pinched on the nose or ear, or any other punishment of the winner’s choice.
In popular culture
editIt became a lyric for the song, Sasakyan Kita by Gladys Guevarra (known as Gladys and the Boxers with K) and it's also used in a song for Nanay, Tatay by Gloc 9, Darren Espanto, Anne Curtis and Gary V.
