A tough but friendly competition is once again expected when Masang Nagmamanok (MANA) stages its 4th monthly pasabong at Pasay City Cockpit on April 15. As usual, it is expected to draw participants among MANA members and non-members alike.
All three past MANA pasabong in Pasay have been very successful.
The coming affair is a one-cock fastest kill ulutan. The entry fee is only P1,100 and the minimum bet pegged at P2,200. Guaranteed prize is P100,000 plus a gold “Singsing ng Kagalingan” worth P10,000 to the MANA Fighter of the Month.
More extra prices are expected as sponsors regularly give out incentives and prices during MANA pasabong. For the months of January and February P30 thousand worth of extra prices were awarded during each of the pasabong. In March some P20 thousand extra was given out to the winners and participants.
All participants of MANA pasabong, starting April 15, will receive free one-month-subscription to “Larga.”
Beginning with this issue Larga will carry the column “Llamado Tayo” by Rey Bajenting, the column responsible for organizing MANA, a movement and association of common sabungeros nationwide.
Pasay cockpit holds fastest kill on Wednesdays. MANA’s slot is every 3rd Wednesday of the month. For the past three months the MANA edition averaged more than 60 fights.
MANA is organizing pasabong nationwide as means of attracting awareness and attention to its objectives.
Among its objectives are: to promote the welfare of common sabungeros and to help preserve sabong as a sport, livelihood, industry and cultural heritage. This, in the wake of threats from animal welfare groups to illegalize sabong in the Philippines like what they managed to do in other countries, including the United States.
Proceeds of the pasabong may also be used by MANA for its projects and in furtherance of the objectives.
