CHAPTER I

Background of the study

‘Sabong‘, as it is known locally here in the Philippines, is what we commonly known as simply ‘Cock-Fights’.  It has been a part of the Philippine culture since before the time of Magellan.  Prior to looking into the history, I had thought that Filipinos picked up on it from Spain during the 1300′s. 

It is usually held during Sundays and holidays especially in the provinces. In the Philippines, curved blades that extend to as long as three inches are attached to one or both legs of the roosters. The blades are usually made from high quality steel. 

Sabong is legal here in the Philippines and regulated as well.  It was passed as a legal sport in 1974 by then President, Ferdinand Marcos.  Most islands have a legal stadium or outdoor arena where the men can go on weekends to either watch, wager or fight their game-cocks.  Some do it as a business but many do it out of a personal passion.  It is a level playing field that allows even the poorest common man to have a chance at winning some good money from the wealthier Sabong aficionados.   There are the occasional, bootleg arenas run illegally which are sometimes raided.  This is mostly to combat illegal gambling run by small-time mobsters rather than for any other reason.

We conduct this feasibility to change the view of others they see it as a gamble and illegal, we will pursue it to others as a passion and national sports among the Filipinos who like to “Sabong”.
