Editorial
Happy New Year
We
have read somewhere that Holidays have
meanings. All Saints’ Day, remembering
the departed; Christmas, good will toward all; Valen-
tine’s Day celebrates romance; Independence day is
freedom.

How about New Year?

Well New Year could be about taking stock. Of what
we have done and failed to do in the past year and
what we want to achieve in the new.

To us game fowl breeders and fanciers New Year is all
about achievements and failures and dreams too.

Check the records. Look for the bloodlines that made
wonder, continue them. Find those that failed, discard
them.

Then resolve to try new matings and combination for
the coming year; not to make the same mistakes in
the mating, raising and fighting your birds; aspire for
much better methods and bloodlines.

Just much like life. Happy New Year to all.

Breeder
at war
R
on Ore Giron, a Peruvian breeder
of the Peruvian gamefowl, the Na-
vajero Peruano, now of Arizona,
USA, has long been known for his seem-
ingly absurd claim that without him there
could have been no Peruvian fowl in the
US and the whole of Asia.

Indeed he is not new to controversy. Gi-
ron seemed to be always on the warpath.
Giron is known to have parted ways with
former partner Dean Noel, with whom he
subsequently engaged in a long running
verbal war. Giron also took potshots at

ans John Tapia, Santy, Victor Zenteno and A young Peruvian at Peruvian Navajero farm of Ron
many others, including some Filipino Giron. The Peruvian gamefowl has started coming
breeders. More recently he engaged in into the Philippines.
heated argument with Fil-Vietnamese Hoa
Kien Phan, a popular breeder of the Peruvian.

This time it was against a well-known Filipino breeder and as usual he drew the
first blood, but he seemed to be getting more than what he bargained for.

On Dec. 12, Giron posted on his Facebook account accusations against Jayson
Garces, the president of the newly formed Philippine Peruvian Gamefowl Breeders
Organization (PPGBO) Inc. Giron accused Garces of dishonesty and failure to pay a
bill of US$1,500 for a Peruvian rooster.

Garces immediately dismissed the accusation as false. “How can I owe him any-
thing when it is a known fact that Giron never sent a single chicken unless it is
fully paid,” Garces said. He also said that Giron might just be jealous of Hoa Kien
Phan and got mad with him because he (Garces) played host to Hoa when the

latter visited the Philippines recently.

“Giron wanted that I get Peruvians only from him. He became jealous every time I
get Peruvians from other sources, “Garces confided to Roosterman. Garces also
told Roosterman that he has painstakingly built his reputation and he will not ruin
it for a few thousand pesos. Those people who believed Giron and those who ridi-
culed me, either did not really know my person or just simply envious—kind of
some crab mentality.

Garces stopped at this, but others did not. The backlash against Giron started
pouring in on the web, particularly on Facebook. Many accused Giron of dishonesty
in dealing with buyers. They charged and presented proof that Giron sent rejects
to buyers who paid for good chickens with good money. Among the proof pre-
sented were Giron own posts containing false claims.

One such post, directed at Garces, Giron admitted that he delivered garbage Pe-
ruvians to a Lap (Hoa Kien Phan).

This revelation prompted Masang Nag-
mamanok (MANA) Inc, an advocacy promoting
and defending the interest of small sabungeros
to issue an advice to buyers of Giron fowl to
check for they might get garbage. Giron was
on MANA’s radar screen.

In the interest of fairness, however, Rooster-
man E-Mag, which is part of MANA organiza-
tion seek out an online interview with Giron to
get his side of the many issues.

Here are some of what Giron said: (Giron’s

ers took it too literally. When one says
someone is his primo (cousin in English) it could also mean someone he consid-
ers a good friend, not necessarily a blood relative.

“The same way you are just making an issue out of Juan valqui not being
my cousin, you know better that when we are close friends, we call each
other compadre or primo, not literally cousins.”
