Defining the News
When was the last time you’ve heard of a professional billiards league in the Philippines? On my end, maybe it was during the time when Ali Mall was the go to place in Cubao, where I spent some of my early teenage years. Most people, however, won’t probably remember when it was or if the country ever had one.
Except in the Philippines. You see, while our cue legends and masters continue to thrive abroad, local players in Manila and most especially in the rest of the county, have to contend with money games or pustahan just to survive. It has been the case for the last decade or so. Just recently, Trinidad was named commissioner of the Sharks Billiards Association or SBA, the first-ever professional billiards league in the world. A brainchild of Hadley Mariano, a businessman and an avid billiards fan, Trinidad says the launching of the SBA will provide a venue for many players who are left undiscovered due to circumstances they don’t have a say with.
