E ditorial: Flex our muscles, show our force
By Re y Ba jen ting, founder MANA
The MANA poster depicting
PETA’s offensive against sabong
in the Philippines
Cockfighting is supposed to be a universal sport. With history that dates
back from the days of the Chinese dynasties to the Persian and Roman empires.
But as time passed by, so-called social norms changed. What was at one
time or another, a sport of kings, generals and even presidents,
has now been outlawed in the very places where it once blossomed.
The grandest bulwark of cockfighting to fall was the
United States. Thanks but no thanks to these so-called animal
rights advocates.
These ARAs might be doing the right thing. But against
cockfighting they are doing it for a wrong reasons. Cockfighting
is never cruelty to chickens. Cockfighting is never a breeding
ground of criminals.
Cruelty? When roosters, since time in memorial love to
fight to death? It is their nature.
Cockpits as haven of criminals? Why? Don’t criminal go
to churches? We don’t ban religion because of this fact. Why ban
cockfighting?
Truth is on our side. In some places, like in the Philippines, we have the numbers too. Enough numbers to earn the respect of politicians, if not, instill fear upon them.
Thus, it is up
to us to unite, flex our muscles and show our force.
Why RB S ugbo Gamefowl Technology is supporting the ideals of M ANA
“Measured against the eternity, our time on earth
is just a blink of an eye. But the consequence of it will last forever. The deeds of this life are destiny of the next” --- Rick Warren in his book the Purpose Driven Life.
The above quotation is in dedication to a friend who
passed away a few years ago. Ernesto “Erning”Panuncillo. To us,
who had known him well, he was more than just a dedicated
sabungero. Ever helpful to anybody who needed his expertise; he
was extremely honest; and selfless, almost to a fault, he was indeed an epitome of a Filipino cocker.
He was always helping me in my cocking ventures. When I decided to go full blast with breeding some
years back, he helped me sourced out top breeding materials.
It was because of him that I was able to acquire the
patriarch of all the RB Sugbo ponkan lines -- my favorite brood
cock “Ponkan,” an EDL/Excellence sweater, who at the time was
otherwise,definitely not for sale in the hands of his brother Arthur, proprietor of the cockers and agrivet product distribution
chain,Pacific Barato.
Most of all, he was the one who first mentioned my
name to publisher Manny Berbano. It led to my writing for Pit
Games and Llammado magazines, an opportunity I cherished
most.
Because of my knowing Manny I was able to acquire
more top-quality imported and local materials; and, met in person, distinguished breeders, and legends of our time. And, because of Pit Games and Llammado, I gained new friends and
customers from as far as the Ilocos regions in the north, and Basilan in the south, not to mention the many others outside the country. These things, I owed to Sanga.
Erning was also instrumental to the mission-vision of
RB Sugbo chicken venture. Sanga had repeatedly told me:
“Breed for the common sabungeros, the ordinary cockers and
small time breeders who have neither the access nor the means to
acquire expensive fowl. And, don’t just sell them chickens, also
afford them technology.”
His idea was that we will not just breed and sell fowl
but also take active part in technology transfer, thus the name RB
Sugbo Gamefowl Technology. (By kamama Rey Bajenting)

Feature: Non-drug Performance Enhancing Factor
From a study
By RB Sugbo Gamefowl Technology
Masang Nagmamanok (MANA) Inc., is always
looking forward to helping ordinary chicken raisers.
Thus, MANA, in partnership with RB Sugbo Gamefowl
Technology, undertakes studies on effective methods
in gamefowl management that are affordable to most
of us.
One such study promotes enhancing the performance of the gamefowl without administering Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED.
Without
doubt, with the kind of
evolution gamefowl breeding has undergone in the
Philippines, the aspect of
gamefowl conditioning has
assumed a much greater
role in the outcome of a
cockfight. Whereas, sometime ago it was rather
breeding or quality of the
gamefowl that almost always told the difference
between winning and losing, now, the situation
could be a different story.
In the 1960’s
when the American gamefowl, then called Texas by
Filipinos, started coming in
from the US, they were so
dominating that they virtually wiped our native fighting chickens—the Bisaya
or Tagalog, Balulang or
Batangas, the Bolinaos and
the rest—out from the face
of the earth.
A couple
of decades later, the
Negros breeders, most of
whom were rich hacienderos and as such had
access to expensive breeds
from the US, took over and
dominated the cocking
scene. Who knows; if it
was due to their having
superior knowledge in
gamefowl genetics, or
sheer advantage in blood-
line and chicken quality?
Another
couple of decades later, the
situation had change. Imported materials had become accessible and available even to the not-so-rich
and to the growing number
of US based Filipinos.
More and more Filipino
gamefowl fanciers had got
hold of imported trios,
broodcocks and hens. Subsequently the offspring of
these imported materials
found their way to relatives, friends and buyers.
Thousands of Filipinos
then was in possession of
high caliber fowl.
Now it seems, at
top level competition,
gamefowl are already created about equal. Therefore, some emphasis
should shift toward discovering superior conditioning
methods.
For answers, many look up to
performance enhancing
drugs—steroids, hormones,
stimulants-- available in
the market, may they be
manufactured for human or
for chickens. Some, like us
at RB Sugbo Gamefowl
Technology, go as far as
exploring non-drug Performance Enhancing Factors (PEFs), many of which
are quiet natural and inher-
ent in gamefowl physiology. Note that vitamin
supplements such as b12
and b complex, multi vitamins and minerals, glucose
and the likes are nor classified as drug but as nutritional supplements.
One of
these non-drug PEFs, is the
concept of stress management in pointing the gamefowl. It is anchored on the
principle that stress triggers adrenaline rush and
adrenaline rush could do
wonders if experienced at
the right moment. Yes,
very natural indeed.
In face
of danger, the body has a
natural defense mechanism. When faced with
stressful and threatening
situations, the body secretes the hormone adrenaline otherwise known as
epinephrine. It will activate
all the mechanism and instinct of survival in animals. It prepares the body
for war. Secretion of
adrenaline, or the so-called
adrenaline rush, enhances
production of energy, activates and alerts all the sensory processes and shuts
down less important functions of the organs. It leads
to high blood sugar levels,
faster heart rate and higher
blood pressure. It triggers
energy production. It
drives the body to optimum levels of energy to
achieve greater-thannormal levels of physical
capability.

Featured bloodline: The blakliz
The blakliz is the
personal line of RB Sugbo.
Named after wife Liza, It
was not intended for sale.
But a few friends and customers insisted and managed to acquire some. Now
RB Sugbo breeds two lines
of blakliz. The peacombs
that are beautiful and sleek
looking are semi- commercial line. The blakliz exclusive- straight comb and ugly
--remains exclusive, thus the
name. The blakliz started
with a cross between a 7time winner Richard Bates
black and the blue face.
Ponkan, the original broodcock of our ponkan bloodline, was then bred to the
black pullets of this black x
blueface. The following
year the offspring were then
bred back to ponkan. I
In 2005, Jesse Ledesma won the PAGBA stag
derby. His last fight was a
black bonanza stag that
clinched him the championship in spectacular manner.
RB Sugbo, through the intercession of partner Raul
Ebeo, who was at the derby,
managed to acquire said
champion stag. This stag
was then bred to
the 3/4 ponkan, 1/8
bates black and 1/8
blue face pullets.
This became the
foundation and still
the composition of
the blakliz exclusive. The peacomb
blakliz has some
infusion of other
bloodlines.
Now RB Sugbo has decided
to breed the blakliz extensively in order to make it
available to the many ordinary sabungeros that have
long expressed interest in
acquiring the blakliz.
The blakliz and,
their other new line the midnight grey will soon join
the sugbo ponkan and sugbo
lemon in the open market.

Dispersal project fulfills commitment
The MANA dispersal of young
breeders has completed fulfilling
its commitment to a number of
interested kamanas who acquired priority numbers last
year .
The program, failed to serve
these kamanas last year despite
their having priority numbers.
This year however, all of them
who still signified intention to
avail were properly accommodated.
A total of 28 kamanas with priority numbers were able to avail of
a set each of 1 male and 4 females of 2-3 months old breeding materials.
In addition, 78 others were able
to avail of the program for 2011.
The breeders all came from RB
Sugbo Gamefowl Technology.
Each of the kamanas who availed
contributed P2 thousand to
cover shipment; per head allowances of farm hands;
and other expenses
incidental to the
program. All other
expenses were subsidized by RB Sugbo.
RB Sugbo has also
turned over 270
heads or 135 pairs of
young breeders to
Bmeg for a similar
dispersal program.
Bmeg has been subsidizing RB Sugbo and
Garces Bros game-
farm to produce some materials
for the Bmeg-Mana dispersal
project in Central and Eastern
Visayas.
