With the big guns of local cockfighting competing, the National Cockers Alliance (NCA) stag derby circuit fires off on Tuesday next week at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
The derby’s guests—Bong Pineda, James Uy, Rudy Albano, Jimmy Ang, Ferdie Eusebio, Jun Mendoza, Johnny Jalandoni and Mayor Alonte—are expected to have their hands full stealing the limelight from NCA members.
Before they are banded on the morning of the Sagupaan-sponsored derby, the stags will be inspected by Johnny Jalandoni to ensure that only legitimate stags are allowed to fight.
Part of the proceeds of NCA derbies goes to a scholarship fund for underprivileged students at University of the Philippines-Los Baños.
THE LIST OF PARTICIPANTS: Atong Ang, Patrick “Idol” Antonio, Gerry Ramos, Ernie Austria, Claude Bautista, Luding Boongaling, Efren Canlas, Tommy Chua, Ralph Daigo, Osang dela Cruz, Eric dela Rosa, Juan Diamante, Jet Fernando, Newton Isaac, Jun Jingco, Rudy Jingco, Boyet Joson, Terrence Madlangbayan, Hessie Mallillin, Eugene Martin, Rene Medina, Arnold Mendoza, Elan Nagano, Butchoy Olano, Bebot Roxas, the Firefly Group, Armand Santos, Manny Santos, Ray Tambis, Danny Teves, JR Tolentino, Bebot Uy, Boy Valenzuela, Mario Villamor, Vic Yap, and former Rizal governor Ito Ynares.
