Numbers of Players Needed: 5, 7, or 9
Game’s Venue: Any Outdoors or Gymnasium

A quadrangular playground is marked off on the ground or floor, where the game is played.

The diagram below explains how it is set up:

Diagram A is for five players, B for seven players, and C for nine players.

All of the players, except for the IT or TAGGER, stay in the corner and on the bases. The tagger would be the one to stand in the middle of the ground. By the count of three, all the players in the corners will attempt to exchange places by running through across from place to place. The tagger should try to lock a corner or base by rushing to any of it when no one is there or it is vacant.

For a strategy or techniques in order to puzzle the tagger, the players on the bases or corners may do attempt to leave their bases and abruptly hurry back to their own corners, as if thieving a base. However, by the time the tagger has secured a base or corner, the odd player becomes the new tagger for the next round of the game.

Additionally, others called it "Agawan Base", "Vende, Vende Candela" while some do call it "Bilaran".

Tara ... Let’s play and have Fun!
