This is my share for this thread;
During my young day's my parents will do this things on/before my Birthday.
1.0 Prepare a good chicken's( we called it maglaming sa bisaya).
2.0 On the day of my birthday they will call me near the post of our house, dig a hole beside it, cut the neck of the chicken that they previously prepared, using the blood of the chicken then put a signed of a cross on my forehead. buried the blood of the chicken beside the house post.
3.0 Cook the chicken and enjoyed the party !
I don't know what is the reason behind it, but now a days that tradition is already gone.
