Mga kasabong, big news just dropped. On November 3, 2026, the Facebook profile Kingbrutus Madlanghari posted an announcement that got the breeder community talking: "BAGWIS IS COMING BACK!"
They're promising "a new chapter, a bigger vision, a stronger BAGWIS," with nationwide wing banding of cockerels and a ₱15 million guaranteed prize.
Here's what was announced, what it means for your breeding plan, and how to get ready the smart way.
What Was Announced
- Nationwide wing banding of COCKERELS under four categories:
- 🏆 Early Bird
- 🏆 Local
- 🏆 National
- 🏆 Late Born
- ₱15 MILLION GUARANTEED PRIZE.
- Recruiting new officers and provincial coordinators nationwide to rebuild the organization.
- Official details will come later on their page.
- Their own note: "Activities subject to applicable permits and regulatory requirements."
Note: The post doesn't give banding dates, fees, or category rules yet. I'll update this when the official mechanics come out.
Why Wing Banding Matters
A wing band is your bird's birth certificate. In a banded derby, only birds that were banded as young cockerels by the organizers can fight later as stags. That stops people from slipping in older birds or buying ready-made winners at the last minute.
Real example: a breeder hatches 50 chicks in January. Only the ones he gets banded on schedule can enter that derby. If he misses banding day, even his best cockerel can't join, however good it becomes.
So in a banded derby, the race starts in the brood pen, not in the pit.
Reading the Four Categories
The full rules aren't out yet, but here's how breeders usually read names like these:
- Early Bird: early-hatched birds that get banded first.
- Late Born: late-season hatches, so these birds aren't forced to compete against older, more mature stags.
- Local / National: most likely the level of competition, meaning provincial versus nationwide.
Real example: a farm with a late hatch would normally sit out a season. A Late Born category gives those birds a fair place to compete.
Wait for the official mechanics before you plan around any of this.
How to Prepare Now
- Check your hatch records. Know the exact hatch date of every chick.
- Mark your best families. Band the birds from your proven matings, not every chick you have.
- Budget early. Banding fees, feeds, vitamins and conditioning add up over the months.
- Follow the official page only. Get dates and fees straight from the BAGWIS officers.
A Word of Caution (Ingat sa Scam)
Whenever a big prize gets announced, fake "coordinators" show up too.
- Don't pay banding fees to anyone the official page hasn't announced.
- Ask for official receipts and the names of the coordinators.
- Check permits. The organizers say their activities depend on permits, so a legitimate event will be able to show them.
Real example: in past derbies, some breeders paid "early registration" through GCash to a stranger. The bands never came.
Join or Watch?
If you're interested in becoming an officer or provincial coordinator, this is a good time to step in. When an organization is rebuilding, it needs people from every province. Being a coordinator also builds your name and network in the sabong community.
Joining a banded derby is like enrolling your child in school. Miss enrollment day and even the smartest kid in town can't take the exam. Mark your hatch dates, keep your records clean, and when BAGWIS opens banding, make sure your best cockerels are first in line.
