The development of "Manok Pinoy" did not come easy though. It took years of trials and experiments guided only by a set of standards which he wanted to achieve:
1. A chicken breed which grows faster and lays more eggs than the native chicken;
2. A chicken breed which would still possess the long muscle strands and firm meat which makes the native chicken distinctively different in taste;
3. A chicken breed which carries more meat than the ordinary native chicken and could survive in the free-range under the elements;
4. A chicken breed which would survive and grow with just ordinary feeds like yellow corn, sorghum or other indigenous feeds to allow ordinary farming families to raise it. He used an indigenous Oriental breed and crossed it to the iconic meat and egg breeds to produce the chicken of his dreams and when he finally developed it, He decided to name it "Manok Pinoy." Today, they are hatching about 1,400 eggs every week and they intend to increase the number of their breeding hens to about 5,000 heads before the end of the year.
