FIGBA OPERATIONS

FIGBA spends an average of 14 million pesos annually for Secretariat operations which includes training, per diem, travel expenses and hotel accommodations of its working committee during banding and derby events. The working committee whose members were carefully selected by their respective associations undergo rigorous training every year to ensure that they uphold the guiding principles of the Federation. Banding activities are held twice a year, the Early Bird in January and National BAKBAKAN in April, where FIGBA uses up almost 1 million wing bands paid for by the Federation. The banding teams are deployed to band cockerels of other associations to avoid collusions and ensure strict compliance to the policies of FIGBA.

The BAKBAKAN banded cockerels is a popular source of stags for all stag derbies held throughout the country – an obvious proof that even FIGBA’s competitors acknowledge the integrity of the BAKBAKAN band. And FIGBA has not asked or requested to be paid for the use of these banded stags.

FIGBA @ 20

The International Federation of Gamefowl Breeders Associations (FIGBA), Inc. is a federation of legitimate gamefowl breeders associations in the Philippines that promotes gamefowl breeding as a cultural, recreational and tourism activity.
 
In celebration of its 20th year as a Federation, we begin a mini-series to look back at FIGBA’s achievements and what it has contributed to the gamefowl industry as a whole.
 
Being the country’s foremost gamefowl breeders organization established in the year 2000 as the former National Federation of Gamefowl Breeders with only 9 member associations, the Federation continued its steady growth under the good leadership of President Ricoy Palmares Jr.  Back then, they only had 190 entries vying for the total pot prize.
