Hi

I got your Pm but as you posted the question here, I will answer it here. I hope that is OK

The Philippine Native Chicken is often being used as a fighting cock in cock fighting (this will be by only reference to this horrible part of chicken raising in the Philippines and I do it only for back ground - that "sport" is not to be promoted or discussed here) and sometimes its gameness is a question as it is not really intended for that purpose. In the villages and farmlands, they are more of a utility breed where eggs and meat is the main basis of the reason why this fowl is being raised. Another is they could live off from tablescraps and by letting them look for their own food in the range, it allows them to eradicate insects and pests.
There are some efforts to cross and upgrade the Philippine Native Chicken with Cantonese, KABIR from Israel, SASSO, Grimaud Freres chicken from France, and recently the Hubbard JA57 and RedBro Line. These birds resemble some of the American breeds such as the Rhode Island Red. These imported breeds of chicken is being distributed throughout the country as only few people have these birds in their backyards. These are efforts to improve the current physique, overall appearance and weight that is good for the table. Crosses from these breeds has enhanced the capabilities of the birds for adaptability to local conditions.
The KABIR is not really a breed but a hybrid. It is no longer around in its original form and is used as a generic term. The word Kabir means large in Arabic. The multiple cross breeds since their introduction lay around 150-200 eggs per year and dont often go broody. This quite a contrast to the "manok bisay" that is the native chicken of the Visayas and as Mindanao is hugely populated by migrants from Cebu, the Mindanao regions as well. The Bisaya lays 50-70 eggs per year but often goes broody. The eggs of the KABIR can be set under a Bisaya.
The "45 day" chickens that you can buy in a agrivet as day old chicks are normally JA57 by Hubbard.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
In an effort to improve local breeds I have multiple breeds of purebred lines of RIR, Barred Rocks, Orpingtons as well as some Jersey Giants, Bresse, Breda and Andalusians. In 2014 I will be offering Rhode Island Reds crossed with Barred Rocks as part of a "chicken mission" to the poor farmers in Negros. My plan is to develop the breeds and offer F1 free-rangers for sale as well once I establish enough breeding stock. I will also sell purbred lines of the above birds.
