| salesiano: My apology on the staggered message |
| salesiano: Thus came the word holen with slang of jolen, jolens, jokolelens etc. Its comparable to shoot bek in basketball which is actually shoot back. |
| salesiano: oops over the limit. ok holes in the ground. When the amboys make a shot they say HOLE-IN!!! The pinoys with a strong accent at the time, commonweath period, says HOL-EN. And it came to be when pinoys play marble say "halika laro tayo ng HOL-EN". Thus cam |
| salesiano: Guess my info would be within the limit. Back to holen or marbles, it was the American GI's children who brought it here. They taught the pinoy kid a game of marble called HOLE-IN. Object of the game is to flick and shoot the marbles in holes in the groun |
