Since cockfighting was first introduced in the 16th century by Spanish colonizers, it has become one of the most popular spectator sports in the Philippines. A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters, held in a ring called a cockpit. Cockfighting is now illegal throughout most the United States, Brazil and in most of Europe.
