00:00Have you tried playing or watching a volleyball game?
00:06Well, it looks like we're all familiar with that sport.
00:10But change the version of this volleyball in Cebu.
00:13Because it's not a handball, it's a ball.
00:16Instead, it's a head.
00:22It's literally a head-to-head volleyball competition
00:24that is being played by our well-known volleyball player, Al.
00:29But this game has a dangerous side.
00:33What I see is that other players dislocate their elbows.
00:39When he kicks, his hand goes back.
00:42When he throws, his hand goes back.
00:44Cebu City
00:54In Cebu City, people usually get together on Saturdays and Sundays.
00:59Not to have fun.
01:02But to watch their favorite game,
01:05Dayon-Dayon.
01:10Dayon-Dayon is their local version of volleyball.
01:14In Cebu City, this game is very popular.
01:19Compared to the volleyball we're used to,
01:21each team has three touches before passing the ball to the opponent.
01:25Here, the ball can only be hit once before passing it to the opponent.
01:31The first one to score 12 points will be the winner.
01:37In Dayon-Dayon, it's just one touch.
01:39It's a direct shot.
01:44You can use your hands and feet to serve the ball.
01:47And to hit it, it goes back to the other team.
01:51The shots are called Timbreyan, Tuklo, and Pongpong.
01:58That's it.
01:59Three shots.
02:01Dayon-Dayon's ball is also smaller,
02:03which adds to the difficulty of playing it.
02:07If the ball is small, it's harder.
02:10It's hard because the ball can't be centered in your hands.
02:12It will bounce down if you're not used to it.
02:17But the lovers, Carlos, Atan, Edsil, and Roy,
02:21say that it's just a basic game.
02:25So, the normal Dayon-Dayon team made an exhibition.
02:29Aside from using their hands and feet,
02:30they also used other parts of their bodies to serve the ball.
02:34It's tough.
02:36I'm used to playing volleyball because of my head and feet.
02:42We don't get hurt because we're immortal.
02:46Let's play volleyball, my friends.
02:48But use your head instead of your hands.
02:50Mine, mine, mine, mine.
02:54This game is popular in Cebu, sir.
02:56It's popular in basketball in Cebu, sir.
03:04Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
03:08Mm!
03:09Mm!
03:11My head hurts.
03:12My legs hurt, my friends.
03:15How can you do that?
03:18They've been playing Dayon-Dayon since they were kids.
03:21But recently, they tried using their heads in this game.
03:27The unique way of playing it
03:29was caught on camera by Cebuano vlogger, Roy.
03:33He posted a video of his friends
03:35and he didn't expect it to hit the internet.
03:42The video has reached 60 million views and counting.
03:45That's a lot.
03:50Aside from having fun,
03:51they also meet here whenever they play a game.
03:56They're also invited to other places in Cebu
03:58to play Dayon-Dayon with a head exhibition.
04:01Whenever there's a party or an occasion,
04:05we get invited to play
04:08in classic places in Northeast and South.
04:11Dayon-Dayon has three categories of players.
04:13Class A or Advanced Players,
04:16Class B or Intermediate Players,
04:19and Class C or Beginners.
04:23The group of Naal is considered an advanced player
04:25because of the way they play.
04:28But the question is,
04:29are they good enough to play Dayon-Dayon
04:31to avoid danger?
04:34I see other players
04:36who dislocate their elbows.
04:39When he hits,
04:40I turn my hand.
04:44When he punches,
04:45I turn my hand.
04:47For me, playing Dayon-Dayon is not dangerous
04:50because I've been playing Cebu Balebol Dayon-Dayon
04:54for 10 years.
04:55Nothing happens to me.
04:56It's safe to play Dayon-Dayon
04:58because it's not like basketball
05:00where there are a lot of physical games.
05:04In Balebol Dayon-Dayon,
05:06your opponent is just a ball.
05:07When it comes to you,
05:09you'll be in danger.
05:11So that they can still play safely
05:13even if they use their head to hit the ball,
05:15these are the things you can do.
05:18You can use protective gears like a helmet,
05:20wrist guards,
05:21and knee and elbow pads.
05:23You can also put shock-absorbing mats
05:25in places where you play.
05:30And most importantly,
05:31study the sport well.
05:34For Al,
05:35if you're just a beginner,
05:37use your hands and feet first
05:39to avoid injuries or accidents.
05:42Brace your mind.
05:44Encourage yourself
05:46to win the game.
05:49Be positive
05:50to win.
05:51Always remember,
05:52better safe than sorry.
