Touted as the “Olympics of Cockfighting,” WSC has always attracted the top breeders and their finest winged-warriors coming from the US, Kuwait, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. In the first edition this year, a sole champ emerged from hundreds of fierce entries.
Rep. Patrick Antonio earned his seventh WSC title, which makes him one of the most admired personalities of the sport. Lauding the WSC organizers for fair fights and clean competition, he said these were reasons why he keeps competing at the WSC, which honors sabong as a tradition and a true “gentleman’s sport.”
