Matapos magkampiyon sa UGBA Big Event One-Day 10-Stag Derby noong Nobyember kasama si Thunderbird Winning Team member Lawrence Wacnang, muling pinatunayan ni Engr. Moises Almuete, Jr. ,Moy sa kanyang mga kaibigan, na maari na siyang ibilang sa mga pinakamagagaling na sabungero ng bansa.
Sa isa-sang pagpapakilala sa mga pangulo ng mga samahan sa ilalim ng National Federation of Gamefowl Breeders noong ika-11 ng gabi sa Christmas Party ng Cetral Visayas Breeders Association na ginanap sa Cebu International Convention Center, nagpahayag si Moy – Pangulo ng Viscaya Ifugao Gamefowl Breeders Association, na hindi siya bumiyahe ng ganoon kalayo para lamang magpatalo.
Kinabukasan, Disyembre 12, sa NFGB Presidents Cup 1-Day 8-Stag Derby na ginanap sa Talisay Coliseum sa Talisay City, umiskor ng 7 panalo at 1 talo upang tangahaling solo champion ng nasabing prestihiyosong labanan.
Binitiwan ni Almuete ang kanyang mga bagong linyada ng mga tinale na kinapapalooban ng Sweater blend Bruce & Dink; Dan Gary Roundhead/ 20 Grand Kelso & Gilmore Hatch; Howard Belk Claret x Dan Gray Roundhead-Hatch at Leiper /Blueface Hatch x Kelso.
Nang tanungin kung paano napatili ang kondisyon, tibay at galling ng kanyang mga panlaban, simple lang ang nagging tugon ni Moy, “Kahit saan ang laban, basta naka-Bexan”.
Ang Thunderbird BEXAN XP ay ang kauna-unahang injectable B-complex vitamins na pinatibay ng liver extract na mayaman sa Vit. B12 at folic acid para sa matinding lakas-panlaban. Ang LIVER EXTRACT ay para sa kondisyon ng dugo, samantalang ang FOLIC ACID naman ay para sa pagiging handa at listo ng manok sa aktuwal na laban.
Ang Thunderbird Bexan-XP ay ini-ineksiyon sa pecho (pectoral muscles) ng mga manok na gagamitin sa breeding. Turukan sila ng 0.25 mL, 2 beses sa isang linggo, sa pagitan ng 3 araw.
Ang Thunderbird BEXAN XP ay doble ang B12 na tumutulong ng malaki sa maayos na sirkulasyon ng dugo na nagreresulta sa pamumula ng mukha, palong at lambi na siyang porma ng isang manok-panabong na nakakondisyon.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ENGR. MOISES ALMUETE, JR. AND THE VIZCAYA IFUGAO GAMEFOWL BREEDERS ASSOCIATION FOR WINNING (SOLO) THE 2009 NFGB PRESIDENTS CUP (ONE-DAY) 8-STAG DERBY.
During its Board Meeting last Saturday, the National Federation of Gamefowl Breeders thru its Executive Director Arnel Añonuevo announced “that a more refined and strict NFGB centralized computer matching system will be implemented to ensure the authenticity of all stags that will be fielded in Bakbakan, as well as assure that each and every entry will get a fair and equal chance to win”.
The 2009 edition of the annual Bakbakan 10-Stag National Derby stakes a P30,000,000.00 guaranteed cash prize – the richest in Philippine cockfighting history.
For all the provincial and regional eliminations and semis events, registration of entries including weights and wing band numbers of stags to be fought are submitted locally. All these data are emailed to the NFGB office for computer matching. The matched program will then be emailed back to the local associations for sequencing. The member-associations are given the sequencing privilege for better income potential.
In addition, local events are monitored by a duly assigned NFGB Derby Supervisor from a different local chapter. He oversees the counterchecking of wing-bands and physical attributes and proper leg-banding of each stag entered as confirmation of its legitimacy. He also records the result of every fight, collate them and at the end of the derby have the official score sheet signed by him with the confirmation of the local association president. The scores are transmitted to NFGB office for proper recording.
“From wing-banding up to the time a stag is fought, every stage is duly monitored, so that each bird that was banded in April is the same bird that is fought several months later in October, November or in case they are fought in the finals onDecember 1 or 3” Añonuevo added.
The 2009 edition of the annual Bakbakan 10-Stag National Derby has set a new record even before it starts with its whopping P30,000,000.00 guaranteed cash prize – the richest in Philippine cockfighting history.
Since its first staging in 2001, Bakbakan has broken record after record, not only because of the attractive prizes or the affordable entry fees. More than the dream of winning the Bakbakan trophy and the accolade of being the best gamefowl breeder of the land, the sustained drawing power is the fairness, integrity and fair play that the National Federation of Gamefowl Breeders has ensured, maintained and improved for Bakbakan through the years.
Let’s look closer to the :
THE NFGB (BAKBAKAN) SYSTEM
as reported by Joey Sy
A) WINGBANDING (Done in the month of April)
1) Cockerels of farms owned by breeder-members of associations affiliated with the NFGB are banded by well trained association members from other localities;
2) The filled up and duly signed stag registry sheets are submitted to the NFGB computer center for encoding;
3) All the data from the stag registry sheets are encoded into the database of theNFGB .
B) THE SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES & SCREENING OF STAGS (Bakbakan Derby Staging from early October to early December)
On site the local association is monitored and aided by a duly assigned NFGB Supervisor from a different association, this is where entries are accepted, recorded, screened and encoded.
The entry submission starts with the members calling the local association with the following details:
a) name of entry; b) name of owners c) 3 no-fight requests***
d) contact numbers;e) wingband numbers of stags f) weight of the stags
Note : No fight requests should me mutual or consensual, which means that an
entry that is requested to have no-fight with should have also requested a no-fight
in return or vice-versa. This and all other relevant info are fed into the matching
program and are regarded by the computer during the matching.
The data is written on entry submission forms then encoded into the computer on site. Trained personnel of the local association with the help of the NFGB supervisor execute this part using computer programs provided by the NFGB.
The breeder's name, association affiliation and stag registry details pop up on the screen after the encoding is done on this NFGB provided program. They are then screened and counter-checked with the data on the stag registry books. Disqualified bands belonging to cocks or stags of previous years or with non-existent bands are discarded and the entries are called for replacements.
The encoded entries are then sent to the NFGB Computer Matching Center in Manila where the NFGB COMPUTER CENTER use its program to match the derby and then send the matched fights back to the local association by EMAIL.
The local association then prepares the sequence of fights. At their own discretion, the local association can set the fights between heavy bettors at primetime in order for them to be able to square off the bets easier with the objective of earning the most plazada from the center bets.
There is no way that the local association may break matches as set at the computer center, as the program provided by the NFGB to the local associations are not enabled to alter the match-ups.
In case of any problems, the NFGB supervisor consults the big bosses of NFGB;
The matched and sequenced fights program is then printed.
The stags are presented to the working committees on the morning of the derby before the fights start for inspections of wingbands and other details pertaining to its stag’s identity as counter checked with the records of NFGB, then leg-banded on site in preparation for the fights later.
C) MONITORING OF FIGHTS AND REPORTING OF ITS OUTCOME:
The NFGB Supervisor monitors the weigh-in, the fight proper and records the results of all the fights, on a prepared form. He also assists the local President in case of disputes.
The NFGB Supervisor records and tabulates the scores and later presents it to the local association President and the cockpit operator for confirmation and endorsement.
The said report of the derby's result is sent to the NFGBCenter for recording.
These records from all the eliminations all over the country are fed into the database for counter-checking and verification purposes during the semi-finals. These assure that all those that will proceed to compete in the semis and then in the finals are duly qualified and that their scores are authenticated and protected.
“A bird-war of epic proportion”, Joey Sy said with a smile as he describes the magnitude of this year’s edition of the biggest annual stag (young cock) competition, not only in the Philippines, but in the world. Sy is Rizal Gamefowl Breeders Associations’ President and also the Martketing Committee Chairman for the 2009 Bakbakan.
With a historic guaranteed cash prize of P30 million, the 2009 Bakbakan starts on October 10 as the La Union Gamefowl Breeders Association (LUGBA) officially raises the curtain with its own 3-stag eliminations at the San Juan Gymnasium, La Union. A total of 51 preliminaries will be held across the country composed of exclusive events for each of the 29 member-associations under the National Federation of Gamefowl Breeders. There are also joint undertakings, as well as national eliminations.
The 18 separate 3-stag semis will begin on November 7, 2009 with three simultaneous battles to be held in the R. Guanzon Sports Center in Bacolod City for the members of the Negros Gamefowl Breeders Ass’n (NGBA) and the Gamefowl Breeders Ass’n of Negros (GFBAN); in the Iloilo Coliseum for the Panay Gamefowl Breeders Ass’n (PAGBA) and in Batac Cockpit, Batac, Ilocos Norte for the United Ilocandia Gamefowl Breeders Ass’n (UNIGBA).
