Tumbang preso  Tumbang preso ("knock down the prisoner"), also known as tumba lata ("knock down the can") or bato lata ("hit the can [with a stone]"), is a traditional Filipino children's game.

The objective is for the players to hit and knock down the milk can with the "pamato", and for the It to put back the can inside a small circle a few meters away from the toe-line. When a player is tagged while recovering their "pamato", they become the It. The mechanics of tumbang preso are somewhat similar to Duck on a Rock:   This variation is played on narrow streets or sidewalks. The same rules apply except for some changes:
