CAGAYAN DE ORO – The Breeding Ground of Hunter Darters

No less than The Titan said it. On the last and final day of TSADarts Episode III, Ian Perez did not play in the 3-Man Classified Draw. He rested the whole morning. He wanted to come prepared in the afternoon for the tough games in the Singles event. So did other national darters like Boie Parfan, and Prussian Arceño. You know why? Because this is Cagayan De Oro. This is the place where the hunters (localspeak for accurate and deadly darters) give the so-called glamour darters of Manila headaches and heartaches on the boards. Almost always.

BONG GABIANA - A NATIONAL MASTER, September 03, 2014

The 2014 Robson Summer Dartfest did not produce the much hope for a head to head showdown between two of the finest darters in the land today - The Gunner vs The Titan.

After the smoke has cleared, Lou won 2 events – Classified Doubles and the Open Singles, while Ian bagged the first Federation Cup crown.

The growth of Philippine darts continues to explode as never seen before. From the depths of extinction in 2001, darts has slowly risen by bits and pieces, till 2007, where the phenomenal growth started to take off culminating in what we are seeing today.

We are reaping today the fruits of darts transformation in outlook, values, beliefs and principle aided by the new realigned entities in support of these changes. We cannot go back and reassert the failed system of the past lest history repeat itself. New realities have emerged and the darting community needs to adapt and co-evolve with these changing realities.

9-DARTER CONCLUDES A GREAT YEAR IN PHILIPPINE DARTS January 02, 2013
