Adults love ballroom dancing so much that the craze has swept the nation. Only a minority of Filipinos actually dance with their spouses. Even if a married couple goes to a ballroom together, they are not likely to dance together. Families enjoy picnics at the beach. Sports generally are played on Sunday.
Boys favor basketball while girls tend to favor soccer.
Volleyball and track are popular. Other recreational activities include gambling, attending horse races or cockfights, and playing mahjong, a Chinese table game played with tiles.
