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. more
   
CHITO YACAPIN DART DIARY ENTRY NO.15, February 18, 2014
Share on Facebook

The latest news exploding in the Philippine dart scene is about the Fil-Austrian making waves in the PDC Tour.  Yes siree – you heard it right, the Professional Darts Corporation Tour where Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis, Marwin and Gerwen, and other elite darters play.  He is Rowby John Rodriguez, all of 20 years old, good looking, and resembles closely a handsome version of Harry Potter.  He is still single and ready to mingle.  But ladies, don’t look twice coz he has a blonde girlfriend who has movie star looks.   more
   
CHITO YACAPIN DART DIARY ENTRY NO.14, February 07, 2014
Share on Facebook

Umuugong ngayong lingo ang bagong kaek-ekan ng Dartslive requiring players from countries with no franchise to pay $500.00 in order to compete in the The World tournament.  Sino ang pinupunterya nila nito?  As usual, walang iba kundi Pinoy darters na naman.  Di humihinto mag-isip ang Dartslive organizers ng mga hadlang para madehado at ma-limite ang pagsali ng mga Pinoy darters.  Unang una, last year gumawa sila bigla ng rule na kailangan sumali ka ng at least 3 stages para mag qualify sa championship.  Ito ay dahil kay Ian Perez na sumali lang ng isang beses, nanalo at nag qualify sa 2012 Finals at nag runner-up pa.   Number 2 - Di na sa Hongkong ang venue ng mga tournaments.  Inilipat na sa 5 bansa na malayo at mahirap kumuha ng visa.  Number 3 - Di sinali ang Pilipinas sa Super League of Nations Cup maski dalawang taon sunod-sunod na winner ang Pinas sa nations event.  The top blogger RB Botor cries Discrimination!  But what can we do?  Dartslive is the biggest soft tip event organizer in the whole world. We can only bow down and comply.  But this is what they will see - the Pinoy spirit will not be crushed.  We will overcome and we will win the crown again and again and again...  more

DARTS FOR A CAUSE: “Tulungan Po Natin Sila” Fund Campaign
Share on Facebook

The NDFP once again sets in motion its Darts for a Cause commitment.  The NDFP is raising funds to help support the victims of super typhoon Yolanda.  More than being darters, we believe in the social responsibility and moral obligation to extend a helping hand, in our own limited capacity, to the human tragedy inflicted by the devastation of typhoon Yolanda. In this regard, we are donating all the entry fees of the Alfonso Dart Circuit of November 12, 2013, pooling the generosity of our corporate partners Robson and Alfonso I Lights with P10,000 donations each.  We are looking forward in the next ten days to the response on our appeal for compassion from the nationwide dart organizations and organizers, venue owners, dart players and managers.  All pooled funds will be deposited to the account of the GMA Kapuso Foundation by November 22, 2013.  We thank you in advance.  more
