Last week, the staff of Coco Beach had a great and exciting time playing the “piggy challenge” or what we call in local parlance as “baboy” game. The “baboy” game is usually played in the resort when the big bosses, Enrico and Connie are here. This time around, Luca was here to do the challenge and as expected, everybody had a great time rolling a pair of cute little rubber piggies on the table hoping to get the highest number of points and win big prizes.

Different styles of tossing the tiny pigs

The game is similar to rolling a pair of dice with corresponding points for every position, be it upright, on the side, snout down or with all 8 legs up in the air. Pity on the person who loses all his points in one roll!

The winners got five, three and two thousand for the first, second and third place respectively. But the most challenging part of the game is to determine who will be the last two players who get the lowest scores as they would have to wash the dishes in the kitchen or clean the restrooms for 4 hours.

Everyone is ready and willing to take on the baboy

The game was played in two batches. After tossing the miniature pigs for 5 rounds, the first batch winners were Chef Lito 1st (Trattoria), Ferdie 2nd (bar supervisor) and Lani 3rd (waitress). Marie (Luca’s girlfriend) and Renato the resort’s GRO for some reason, did not communicate well with the pigs and got zero points the whole time. Sportingly though, Marie and Renato gamely washed the dishes in the kitchen for 4 hours after the game.

The second batch winners were Sahlee 1st (stockroom clerk), May-May 2nd (function organizer) and Elian 3rd (activity supervisor). Allan (stockroom) and Edgar (kitchen) shared the same luck as Marie and Renato and had to do chores 4 hours.

See you on the next round of the baboy game.
