Honesty and Humility: The Spirit of Sabong
Jun Boadilla, owner of Blue Shadow Game Farm in Santa Maria, La Union, has dedicated his life to the principles of Sabong. To him, the sport represents honesty, resilience, and camaraderie.
“Sabong isn’t just about competition; it’s about respect and the lessons we learn in every fight. It keeps us humble, no matter how many victories we achieve,” Jun says. This dedication forms the foundation of his farm, established in December 2021.
Breeding Champion Bloodlines for Sabong Matches
Blue Shadow Game Farm is a home for elite gamefowl bloodlines, carefully selected for their performance in competitive Sabong tournaments:
- White Kelso: Known for adaptability and consistent results.
- Allen Roundhead: A strategic and intelligent fighter.
- Gray Off-Color: A proven winner in stag matches, particularly in national derbies.
- Dome and Bull Stags: Praised for their strength and resilience.
Jun highlights, “Our Gray Off-Color bloodline gave us a championship at the R&D Cup, showcasing its ability to excel in high-stakes Sabong matches.
Strategic Training for Sabong-Ready Roosters
Every rooster at Blue Shadow Game Farm undergoes a rigorous conditioning program designed for peak performance in Sabong competitions:
- Two-Week Sparring: Roosters are tested to identify those with the best agility, defensive skills, and fighting spirit.
- Conditioning with LDI Products: Using specialized supplements to boost health and performance.
- Real-Combat Sparring: Gloves are avoided to expose roosters to authentic combat, sharpening their instincts.
“A well-conditioned rooster is smart and agile, not just strong. This balance is key in high-stakes Sabong betting,” Jun explains.
Expanding for the Future of Sabong
What started as a small farm with 100 gamefowl has grown steadily. Jun aims to double capacity by leasing nearby land, enabling him to raise 200 birds next season.
“Expansion isn’t just about size; it’s about providing more opportunities to improve our rooster bloodlines and compete at higher levels,” he shares.
The Role of Support in Sabong Success
Jun acknowledges the importance of teamwork and external support in achieving his goals. The guidance and products provided by LDI have been instrumental in refining Blue Shadow Game Farm’s training methods.
“Without the help of LDI and my dedicated team, we wouldn’t have reached this level in the Sabong community,” he says.
