Wish ng SBA kay Bambol… Partnership sa pagitan ng POC at SBA para sa pagsargo ng Billiards sa Pilipìnas

MARUBDÒB na ipinararating ng Sharks Billiards Association( SBA) kay Philippine Olympic Committee president (Cong.) Abraham ‘Bambol’ Tolentino ang layong makadaupang palad siya upang magsanib puwersa sa pagbangon ng larangan ng billiards sa Pilipinas.

“I am reaching out to oùr POC head ,me as a passionate advocate for the sport of billiards and pres.Tolentino as someone committed to revitalizing its status in the Philippines. As the son of Perry Mariano, who has long championed the development of world-class Filipino billiards players, I am eager to continue his legacy by ensuring that our athletes receive the recognition and support they deserve,” wika ng batang Mariano.

“Through the Sharks Billiards Association (SBA), we are working to professionalize and elevate billiards to new heights, providing a structured platform for both emerging and elite players. Given the Philippine Olympic Committee’s role in shaping the national sports landscape, I would like to explore a partnership between SBA and POC to strengthen the sport’s presence and ensure its long-term success,”aniya pa.

Kasalukuyang inihahanda ng pinamumunuan ni Hàdley ay ang SBA Philippine Open 2025 na sasargo sa April 21-27, 2025.

“This premier event will bring together top local and international players, reinforcing the Philippines’ position as a powerhouse in the global billiards scene. More than just a competition, the SBA Philippine Open 2025 will serve as a major scouting event for SBA, identifying and recruiting the next generation of elite Filipino players. This event will provide aspiring athletes with a platform to showcase their skills, gain exposure, and earn opportunities to compete professionally both locally and internationally.

With this, I would like to formally request a meeting to discuss the possibility of securing POC’s sanctioning for the event and exploring other collaborative opportunities that will benefit Filipino players and further institutionalize billiards within the POC framework. We believe that with the POC’s support, this event can serve as a stepping stone for billiards to gain broader national recognition and open doors for more athletes to represent the country internationally”, ani pa Hadley.
