 Riddling can take place anytime and anywhere as long as there is some form of group activity in progress; it can be done during work or recreation or both.Ambiguities of answers can be settled by an old man or somebody who is respected in the barangay (the basic political unit).In this sense, riddles allow a certain flexibility in their solutions; that is, they point to various logically possible solutions, thus providing some form of basic pedagogy.
