     Every year I come across incidents of cheating sa pigeon clubs, but the most common incident pano sila nahuhuli kasi sobrang napa-aga pag clock nila. Dala na siguro ng nerbyos o sobrang excitement kaya wala sa loob nila na smash race, basta iniisip nila ganitong oras datingan kaya sinisigurado na nila. So, how do you really get away with it?      First of all, make sure namagaling ka mag forecast ng panahon.  This is the hardest to do, kasi hindi porke maganda panahon sa location mo maganda rin panahon sa dadaanan ng mga kalapati. Matuto ka mag research, andyan ang google weather, even your phone gives weather update na rin, sometimes our own kalapatids would post weather updates on facebook, so be updated. Its your duty as a cheater, mandadaya ka na lang di mo pa pagbubutihin.      Second, DO NOT and I couldn't emphasize this more, DO NOT rely on forecast received from clubs. Hindi kasama dun ang bad weather sa pag com...

     The first time I experienced my warrior laying an egg on loading day was with De635, sa MacArthur race pa mismo. Dati when I was just a newbie, pag umitlog training pa lang di na nakakauwi. And veterans would tell me na pag umitlog ng race period mas lalo mahirap. So without any expectations napauwi ko naman si De635 who would place 5th eventually. The second time I experienced this is with Bebe. Bebe was a young bird back in 2014 sa GWRPA. She placed 12th Overall sa North Race. Summer Race of 2016 wala ako mailaban sa derby so I decided to pull out Bebe from my breeder's loft. Akala ko akala din siguro nya retired na sya pero pasensya na sya wala ako mailaban e. Friday loading ng Sta. Ana and last lap na rin umitlog na naman panlaban ko. I said to myself, eto na naman, wala naman ako magagawa kundi i load. Come Sunday everybody learned it was a smash race. Late na naguwian mga kalapati and only around 50 birds lang ata nag clock sa BFRC. Bebe clocked also placing...

  First a disclaimer. We live in a free society where we can do what we want and basically say what we want. I know we have the right to say what we want to say especially in our social media accounts, I just felt a need to talk about certain attitudes of fanciers that we come to know over the years. I wrote this because I came to know one fancier na sa ikli ng panahon na nagre-race sya nakita ko lahat ng attitude that I'm about to discuss. So let's begin. 1. The First Drop Syndrome I admit nung newbie palang ako, there's a feeling na kailangan mo ipaalam sa lahat kung gano kaaga nakauwi ng training yung kalapati mo. Admit it or not, lahat tayo guilty nyan especially when we were just starting. When I started wala pang facebook kaya lahat ng kililala I would text them "dito na kalapati ko, sabay sabay dumating, di pagod" ha ha. Right now sa facebook generation, we see that a lot. 1st drop 2nd drop etc., kung newbie ka it is acceptable pa kasi mataas pa ...

     I wasted a lot of pigeon rings because I decided not to race them, karamihan naka McArthur pa. Now I feel like a hoarder again. I really want to race my andalusian but I'm having second thoughts. First of all he is my first andalusian so medyo senti ng konti. Second barako naman and I really don't like racing cocks. I think this season is proving to be one of the hardest season ever, ang dami na nawala and he's still here. What to do?

     I never thought doing Alagang Magaling would be very difficult, but it was. Although I'm glad to be able to experience it. 1 1/2 hours of preparation plus 4 hours of taping. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Breeding Program Di ako nagpupurga, di ako nag va-vaccinate, di ako gumagamit ng antibac. My breeders usually have 3 to 4 months rest from breeding, in simple terminology, di sila losyang. pag malapit na mangitlog sinusubuan ko lang ng supra, calcium and brewer's yeast. 3 to 4 times a week i put glucose sa water. Squabs: Six days after hatching sinusubuan ko ng supra, calcium, brewer's yeast everyday until 25 days old. Training: 3 to 4 times a week glucose on water. Nothing else. Derby: Last week of training: sinusubuan ko ng supra, calcium saka brewer's yeast in random, pinapatikim ko lang gagamitin ko mga gamot para ma familiarize lang sila sa lasa, last training usually friday loading kaya i give rhea b-complex na rin. Sunday: Supra, calcium and wakamoto (arrival from last training) Monday: Calcium and wakamoto Tuesday: Supra, calcium and wakamoto Wednesday: Calcium and wakamoto Thursday: Supra, calcium and wakamoto Friday: B-complex, calc...
