What's Luck Got To Do With It?

CARREO by Rolando S. Luzong

Peoples Tonight (January 27, 2010)

What’s Luck Got To Do With It?

Engr. Sonny Magtibay just won the biggest and grandest World Slasher Cup ever with a record-breaking field of 240-entries and the most number of foreign participants ever to come here.

Before this, just last December 3, 2009, Magtibay with partner Boy Tanyag was hailed as one of two champions in the biggest Bakbakan 10-Stag Derby ever participated in by 2,417 entries.

Was it luck?

The new 33-year old champion revealed that before the winning streak that started in February 2009, he and his family underwent a forgettable stage in which he lost his job, someone very close died and other incidents he would rather not mention and remember anymore.

It was in February 1, 2009 when he got back from Pampanga with some Juancho Grey breeding stocks that he arrived home to find his pregnant wife Precy already in labor. Immediately, he brought his wife to the hospital with the chickens still loaded onto his car because there was no time left to unload them. The poor birds stayed in the vehicle until his youngest delivered – they now call him Baby Juancho.

That was when their lives started to change.

Immediately, 21 days after the baby, Sean Heinrich, was born Magtibay won the chamoionship in the Big Event P55,000-entry fee 5-cock derby held in Paniqui, Tarlac. This was followed by a string of victories in 3-cock and 4-cock derbies.

In September, he scored 5 wins and 1 lost for a share of the top honors in a 6-stag derby at the Sta. Monica Cockpit in Novaliches.

The second big win was the Bakbakan in December which was followed by a 3-cock victory in San Mateo Cockpit and another Dec. 21 conquest of Noveleta Cockpit and a January 12 victory again in Sta. Monica.

They were at Sta. Monica when Sonny called the Araneta Coliseum to register for the World Slasher Cup and to make a cockhouse reservation. It was exactly 6 days before the Slasher begins and at that time and the Araneta Coliseum cockfighting group was already in a point of if-they-can-will-not-accept-anymore-entry.

During the Bakbakan, Magtibay’s entry was in partnership with the veteran Boy Tanyag who registered their bet, so, the best available reason for Pit Manager Dong Lamosste was to tell Engr. Sonny that there’s no more cockhouse avalibale and that they will just have to settle for the corridors. When Magtibay said it was alright, Lamoste then told him that registrants who will pay the entry fee in advance will be given priority. In no time, the entry fee was delivered to Araneta right away.

However, a World Slasher Cup-regular who was supposed to fight on January 18 decided to come in on the 19th, so a cockhouse was suddenly made available and because the RM Red Cobra Farm of Magtibay already have its entry fee paid, he was given priority to occupy the said cockhouse. Was luck starting to set in?

In the opening salvo, Magtibay’s roosters breezed through the 2-cock eliminations, first lording it over Rhemy Medrano’s Karamba Ilonor entry with a Sweater-Kelso fighter, then winning over Eddie Araneta’s by fielding a Sweater – Yellow-legged Hatch ¾-1/4 cross.

In the 2-cock semis, his entry using a 2-time winner Sweater crosses dominated its opponents’ Lahaina Boys – MCF Game Farm of Kali Casco of Hawaii and Thunderbird – II Hatchet of Nene Araneta and Roger Roberts.

In the 4-cock finals last Thursday, Magtibay unleashed a 2-year old Pure Sweater cock against 3-time Slasher champ Peping Ricafort’s PTK Country Road; a 1-time winner Pure Sweater against Jorge Torres’ Lover Boy; and a Sweater-Lemon cock versus another Peping Ricafort entry, PTK Yucatan. In this third match, Sonny’s fighter was already down and appeared to have no chance of winning when like a prayer heard, the opponent quit.

In his championship fight, Magtibay’s ¾ Sweater- ¼ Grey cross left no room for discussion as it needed only 8 seconds to dispose of its foe from the Ricki Reyes’ Rian Octagon Oliver Colors entry. The championship-sealer rooster hit his opponent in mid-air on the first buckle and the other cock dropped on the ground like a fly sprayed with insecticide. For all the glory, Sonny is proud to say that it was an all team effort from his wife Precy, their three boys Reinhold Harry, Michael Dwayne and Sean Heinrich, handler - Ritchie “Enteng” Buatag; gaffer - Itoy Dumaraos, pointer - Eddie Pontero plus his partners Neil Aguirre and Beng Navarro.

About his Sweaters , he said “I could not afford to buy from the top breeders before, so I got my Sweater from a not-so-big breeder who told me that his broodcock came from Sonny Lagon”

When I asked him which title he treasures most, Bakbakan or the Wolrd Slasher ? He said, “it’s actually the experience of meeting and be with the cockers that I look up to like Nene Araneta, Dicky Lim and Sonny Lagon, among others. It’s like living in a dream” .

Was it luck? Maybe, but not everything. One thing is sure luck comes to those who strive and have faith and who remains humble and magnanimous, in victory, someone like Sonny Magtibay.

SONNY MAGTIBAY

"Thunderbird Bexan XP , Panalo" - Engr. Sonny Magtibay

Ang mapanalunan ang 2,417-entry Bakbakan 10-Stag National Derby ay mahirap kahit isipin lamang at ang makopo ang kampeonato ng 240-entry 2010 World Slasher Cup 8-Cock International Derby ay isang bagay na sa maraming mananabong ay mananatiling panaginip lang, subalit ang 33-anyos na si Electrical Engineer Sonny Magtibay ay nagawa ang imposible – nasungkit niya ang dalawang prestihiyosong titulo sa loob lamang ng 50 araw. At mula sa pagiging isang di kilalang sabungero, si Magtibay ngayon pinakamainit na paksa sa mga kuwetuhang sabungero sa bawat sulok ng bansa.

Ang lahok ni Magtibay na, RM Red Cobra Farm, ay umiskor ng perpektong 8 panalo sa 8 laban upang madomina ang pinakamalaki at pinakamatinding pagtatanghal ng World Slasher Cup sa kasaysayan.

Sa pagbisita sa kanyang manukan noong nakaraang Mierkules bago pa ang nakatakdang panayam sa kanya ng number-1 sabong tele-magazine program na Tukaan, ipinagmamalaking ipinahayag ni Magtibay na malaking bahagi ng pagkukundisyon ng kanyang mga manok ang Thunderbird Bexan - XP.

"Gumagalaw ng maganda ang mga manok ko kapag naka-Thunderbird Bexan XP" - pahayag ni Magtibay.

"Thunderbird Bexan XP, panalo" - dadag pa ni Engr. Sonny.


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.

2010 World Slasher Cup Solo Winner is Reigning Bakbakan Champ Sonny Magtibay

Winning the 2,417-entry Bakbakan 10-Stag National Derby is something unimaginable and capturing the solo championship of the historic 240-entry 2010 World Slasher Cup 8-Cock International Derby is a feat cockers can only dream of, but 33-year old Electrical Engineer Sonny Magtibay did the impossible – he won the two titles within a span of only 50 days. And from being a relative unknown, Magtibay is now the most talked-about, not to mention much-envied, cockfighter in the country.

Magtibay’s entry, RM Red Cobra Farm, scored a perfect record of 8 wins out of 8 matches to conquer the biggest and grandest World Slasher Cup in history.

In the opening salvo, Magtibay’s roosters breezed through the 2-cock eliminations, first lording it over Rhemy Medrano’s Karamba Ilonor entry with a Sweater-Kelso fighter, then winning over Eddie Araneta’s by fielding a Sweater – Yellow-legged Hatch ¾-1/4 cross.

In the 2-cock semis, his entry using a 2-time winner Sweater crosses dominated its opponents’ Lahaina Boys – MCF Game Farm of Kali Casco of Hawaii and Thunderbird – II Hatchet of Nene Araneta and Roger Roberts.

In the 4-cock finals last Thursday, Magtibay unleashed a 2-year old Pure Sweater cock against 3-time Slasher champ Peping Ricafort’s PTK Country Road; a 1-time winner Pure Sweater against Jorge Torres’ Lover Boy; and a Sweater-Lemon cock versus another Peping Ricafort entry, PTK Yucatan.

In his championship fight, Magtibay’s Sweater-Juancho Grey cross needed only 8 seconds to dispose of Ricki Reyes’ Rian Octagon Oliver Colors. The championship-sealer rooster hit his opponent in mid-air on the first buckle.

A proud Thunderbird Bexan XP – user, Magtibay thanked his wife Precy for “her full support” and his three boys Reinhold Harry, Michael Dwayne and Sean Heinrich. Team Red Cobra also icludes Ritchie “Enteng” Buatag - handler; Itoy Dumaraos, gaffer; and Eddie Pontero – pointer who is Boy Tanyag’s farm manager, plus his partners Neil Aguirre and Beng Navarro.

JORGE “NENE” ARANETA, PATRON OF PHILIPPINE COCKFIGHTING

CARREO by Rolando S. Luzong

Peoples Tonight (January 23, 2010)

JORGE “NENE” ARANETA, PATRON OF PHILIPPINE COCKFIGHTING

His father Don Amado Araneta, who initiated the 1st Pintakasi of Champions in 1957 which eventually became the World Slasher Cup in 1962, is one of the regarded pillars of sabong in the country.

When Don Amado passed away, his son Nene continued the staging of the bi-annual event that over the course of time developed into the most prestigious cockfighting competition, not only in the Philippines, but also internationally.

The World Slashers Cup worldwide recognition drove great American cockers and gamefowl breeders to come to Manila to compete bringing along their signature breeds of fightingcocks. There were Duke Hulsey with his Lemons, Ray Alexander with his Clarets, Joe Goode with his Greys, Johnny Jumper with his Radios, Carol Nesmith with his Sweaters, Gary Guillam with his Hatches and Dan Gray with his Roundheads among others. Also came and made a name here were Billy Ruble, Dee Cox, Heine Mathesius, Oscar Aikins, Billy Abbot, Jimmy East, Chuck Berry, Wayne Haulmark, Mike Formosa, Tom Wilson, John Trotter, James McWhite, Bob Howard and Richard Bates who stayed here until his death last year.

The breeds of gamefowls brought in and introduced by these greats cockers continuously improved and upgraded the bloodlines of roosters that we have locally.

In addition, the glamour and grandeur of the so-called “Olympics of Cockfighting” have turned the event into an annual convention of sort for thousands of overseas Pinoy sabungero who opt to take their vacation in January rather than during the Christmas, so that they’ll be here for the World Slasher Cup.

Probably, because of these compelling reasons, that Jorge “Nene” Araneta seemed to have made it his commitments to continue staging the World Slasher Cup despite the many ups and downs, problems and hustles that have been encountered and experienced through the years.

Mr. Araneta’s determination and steadfastness to keep and uphold the World Slasher Cup’s motto “Sportsmanship is Our Goal” come hell or high water, have , it seems, been recognized and respected.

In the past few years, the World Slasher Cup has gained tremendous participation and following. From a mere 40-entry average about six years ago, the number of participants saw a steady increase to a hundred in 2007 and eventually breaking the 200-mark last year at 207 in January 2009 that was held in 5 days, a big jump form the usual 3-day format. With a record-breaking field of 240 entries today and a consecutive-six-day-program, what could be next for the World Slasher Cup?

Maybe, Sir Nene have been toying with the answer in his mind all this time when he ordered that write-ups for the World Slasher Cup should include the promotion of sabong as a tourist attraction. Moreover, he generously invited foreign tourists in the country to watch the Slasher for free and all they need to do was present their passports at the entrance to the Coliseum.

Inside the Big Dome during staging of the Slashers, one can see Mr. Araneta brushing elbows and humbly conversing with everyone, whether he is a foreign participant , a local bigtime cocker, a handler, a gaffer, a sentenciador or a poor journalist like me. He seems to be at home with the cockers, his peers.

Time and again, I have written that the World Slasher Cup is already an institution in Philippine cockfighting that every sabong-loving Filipino should protect, promote and support. The World Slashers Cup is not only Nene Araneta’s, it’s also ours, as a nation and as a people with our own identity and culture.

Nene Araneta is there to lead and to serve the Philippine sabong community, let us be one with him in his goal to promote sabong as a unique tourist attraction.

If they can do it in Spain with their bullfights we could also do it with our sabong. If you have a foreign visitor, bring him to the cockpit. I’m sure he will love the adrenalin rush and will spread the word to his folks back home that cockfighters is not the devil that animal rights activists and anti-cockfighting groups are trying to depict and that sabong is really something to see and experience.


THUNDERBIRD BIGTIME SEMINAR TODAY

Every year, the World Slasher Cup can not be complete without the Thunderbird Bigtime Seminar which has over time already become a part of the event.

For this World Slasher Cup staging, the Thunderbird Bigtime Seminar gets even bigger when it is held at the Gateway Suites in the 5th floor of Gateway Mall starting at 9:00 a.m.

Among the speakers and panelists are Thunderbird Winning Team members Sonny Lagon, Dicky Lim, Boy Marzo, Otec Geroso, Jesry Palmares, Cito Alberto, Pao Malvar, Dr. Boy Tuazon and Bernie Tacoy to be joined by several American cockers competing in the Slasher.

Prizes such as Thunderbird products and quality breeding stocks will be raffled to the attendees.
