t was something that has been looked up to right after we came back from last year’s incentive trip to hongkong and macau in February of last year. the memorable visit to the two Chinese territories that included a tour of asia’s Las Vegas topped by a visit to the humongous the Venetian and the playful discovery of hongkong Disneyland that gave us the opportunity to be children for a day were things that should be done again.

The memorable playtime propelled everyone to work harder and everyone did hit the ground running that resulted into another record-breaking performance, not only for Thunderbird, but also for our swine division Pigrolac and Univet – the vetmed group, as well as the poultry – Sarimanok and the budding

Aquapro feeds for tilapia and bangus.

We left for Singapore last January 26, right after Thunderbird’s highly successful stints in the 2011 Sinulog Derby and Chinese Derby (page 14) and in the 1st World Gamefowl Expo held January 14-16 at the World Trade Center – Manila (Pages 4-7), and our massive presence in this year’s edition of the semi-annual World Slashers Cup - the biggest ever with 279 entries (Pages 9-11), so the Singapore sojourn was a timely respite for everyone to loosen up and recharge our batteries.

The visit to Universal Studios again made us act like young tots as we braved the joy rides, savor the architectural wonders of pyramids and the huge statues in the Land of Mummies, and get awed with the masterful clockwork of the actors in the Waterworld show that left me and a lot others, wet, literally wet.

We were back in Manila by January 30 and immediately on February 2, I was already in the Iloilo Coliseum exchanging pleasantries with Negros and Panay Islands’ top gamefowl breeders who were competing in the 2011 Annual Candelaria 7-Cock International Derby (story on Page 15).

After the Candelaria, we visited several farms and interviewed breeders for the Inilog segment together with Tukaan’s Director Bong Sanga and of course the “Seedfowl ng Bayan” Doc Hanzie Dal (see this on Pages 12 & 13).

Also in this issue are the activities held in Leyte and Biliran that included three bigtime seminars, the derby in Biliran which is the 3rd out of 7 eliminations of the P1M BGT Para sa Masa 6-Cock Derby, as well as the preparations for the 2011 BGT CUP wingbanding season (all of these on page 8) and the 2011 BGT CUP Stag series schedule.

The 1st World Gamefowl Expo was a resounding success, but even the organizers would not deny the fact that Thunderbird has helped so much in promoting the event and later in bringing the crowd that practically gave the seal of approval for the three day event and the green light to do it again next year.

n addition to the huge main booth that Thunderbird got being a co-presentor, the gamefowl industry leader also acquired 30 regular booths for its elite parade of endorsers; the Cockfights Magazine; Rizal Gamefowl Breeders Association; the TJT Cocking Academy; Bar on the Run and the Pigeon Racing showcase of Jimmi Lim.

In the three days run of the World Gamefowl Expo, Thunderbird just kept the lines longer and longer as the guests visit each of the Thunderbird booths all wanting to get a wristband raffle ticket for a chance to bring home any of the more than 100 quality gamebirds from the Thunderbird Sabongnation Stars that were raffled off.

Also waiting at the end of the line is the Thundebrird Bar on the Run booth that

provided refreshment, coffee and cocktails to everyone.

The Thunderbird Power Models that cheerfully greeted the everyday crowd provided the beauty, grace and glamour, while the Thunderbird Power Dancers ignited and teased the spirits.

Also sponsored by Thunderbird was an art exhibit by the Bacolod artists who calls themselves Bangis, whose paintings were simply awesome.

The 1st World Gamefowl Expo was really a resounding success and it will surely be repeated again and again in the years to come with Thunderbird ever ready in bringing in the sabungeros.

Throughout the six days of the event Thunderbird provided the entertainment to add flavor and excitement to the intense competition among the world’s finest breeds of fightingcocks.

Again, the World Slashers Cup, as it has developed into, became a homecoming of Pinoy sabungeros from all over the planet, all joined together by their passion for the Birds of Mars.

he beacon of light for Philippine sabong continue to burn bright and warm as the semi-annual World Slashers Cup posted a new

record in terms of participation and attendance. The 6-day event staged from January 17-23 also presented the biggest number of foreign cockers and breeders ever to set foot on local shores.

Of course, the successful partnership between the derby host Pintakasi of Champions led by Mr. Nene Araneta of the famous Thunderbird entry, and that of gamefowl industry leader Thunderbird Power Feeds was again put to work, resulting into a cockfighting event that will be long remembered.

TWON TERMS Of GAMEfOWL BREEDERS and rooster population, the neighboring islands of Panay and Negros should be the number one.

Negros or habitually called just Bacolod and Iloilo in Panay are sabong capitals that have played a major role in the history of Philippine cockfighting.

The biggest cockfighting event in Bacolod is the Masskara Derby held in conjunction with the Masskara Festival in the month of October, while, that of Iloilo is the annual Candelaria International Derby, in honor of the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria.

The Inilog team, together with the “Seedfowl ng Bayan” Dr. Hanzie Dal; the Tukaan technical crew led by Director Bong Sanga and Thunderbird Consultant Rolando Luzong were assisted by Doc Eddun Omambing in Bacolod and Doc Merlita Justalero in Iloilo.

HANKS TO ILOILO COLISEUM’S GENERAL Manager Chito Tinsay, Thunderbird was again at the forefront in the

annual celebration of cockers that is the Candelaria 7-Cock International Derby, continuously held for about 40 years featuring Panay Island’s cream-of-the-crop against visiting competitors from Negros, Mindanao, Luzon and the United States.

Last february’s 2011 Candelaria derby had a guaranteed cash prize of P8 million and was joined by more than 170 entries topped by Alamolan towns Pakit Causing with his PBC Emerald entry and former champion Johnny Jalandoni with Lando Layson via their Pangga entry.

Despite the low turn out of entries than that of last year, the number of those who came to watch, far exceeded the horde that saw the fights in 2010. The huge Coliseum was full up to the rafters and the crowd is very much involved in what was happening inside the rueda.

The huge Thunderbird inflatable 26-foot rooster greets derby fans upon entering the Coliseum and stays on guard until after the last fight of the day had been consummated.

Local Ilongga beauties served as Thunderbird Power Models that provided relief to unlucky entries and more inspiration to the frontrunners.

Mr. Tinsay jokingly told the crowd that the girls will be raffled off

Doc Erwin “Dr. Win” Sera and the Thunderbird Pintakasi team with the new young Director of Hataw Pinoy Havy Bagatsing visited the breath-taking Sunhaven Game farm of bullstag king Pao Malvar in Tarlac where we did not expect that it was the barrio’s fiesta.

wo goats were butchered and we had our fill of adobo, kilawin and papaitan.

Pao who is the grandson of veteran cocker-breeder Esting “Stinger” Teopaco, shot into cocking stardom after back-to-back solo conquest of the United Gamecock Breeders

Association’s Heritage Cup 9-Bullstag Derby in 2009 & 2010 followed by a string of victories including the Big Event 5-Stag Derby hosted by Gerry Ramos.

Then we proceeded to Talavera, Nueva Ecija to witness the contract signing between Thunderbird, represented by Doc Erwin & Doc Claire Gamez, and one of Central Luzon’s most prolific fighters Nestor Vendivil of Oliver Game farm.

Vendivil is a three time Breeder of the Year of the Gamefowl Breeders Association of Tarlac and is a perennial finalist in the World Slasher Cup with several runner-up finishes in his belt.
