Pilmico gathered gamefowl aficionados all over the country last March 21 for the Salto Breeders’ Benefit Sabong, an competition organized to raise funds for youth development in the province.
The event earmarked 70% of the proceeds for the improvement of a recreation and sports facility in Jaro National High School. The project seeks to help young people develop a healthy lifestyle through sports and improve their selfesteem and social skills.
Held at the Iloilo Coliseum, the event coincided with the annual Candelaria Derby, which is known worldwide as the grandest and toughest cockfighting competition in the gamefowl industry.
Salto is the gamefowl feed brand of Pilmico.
“Through this activity, we aim to promote and soon roll-out advocacies that are geared towards youth development,” said Pilmico Feeds VP for Sales and Sales Support Hendel Cabral.
While promoting camaraderie within the gamefowl community, this activity also opened opportunities for gamefowl breeders. A Candelaria title is one of the most coveted distinctions in the industry worldwide. For its part, Iloilo Coliseum has been tagged as one of the country’s premier cockfighting destinations.
