National Bakbakan starts tomorrow

MANILA, Philippines — The FIGBA National Bakbakan 12 –Stag Derby starts tomorrow at the Iriga Sports Complex in Camarines Sur.

Now on its 18th year, Bakbakan  is spearheaded by the International Federation of Gamefowl Breeders Associations (FIGBA), mother association of more than 5,000 gamefowl breeders nationwide.

“Since 2000 up to present, we used the Fair Game system to ensure fair play and integrity.There is hardly any complaint and last year, Bakbakan drew more than 7,000 entries,” said FIGBA president Ricoy Palmares Jr.

The Fair Game system starts from the screening of cockers by competent banding supervisors, strict implementation of FIGBA Unified Derby Rules, computerized matching of entries and transparent update of derby records.

This year, Bakbakan has 267 derby schedules including the 3-stag elims on Oct. 5 (Batac Cockpit in Ilocos Norte) and Oct. 6 (Lucky Sports Complex in Laguna).

Bakbakan is co-presented by Thunderbird –Passion of the Filipino Nation, B-MEG Integra Power Max, and Excellence Poultry and Livestock Specialist in cooperation with LDI, Hagibis, Salto, Pit Fighter, VNJ Distributors and Mad Science.
