Da Dong is the nickname for Leonardo Andam, another filipino great! He made a run across the USA and beat everybody he played. Passed away a few years ago.

I have a confession to make. while Parica is renowned as the Father of Billiards in the Philippines and Efren as the GOAT, Andam is my favorite pool player and fashioned my game to his typical soft and slow-rolling precision shots. I find his technique calming and makes you focus on your game.

There’s no doubt that Efren was better than Jose in pro tournaments, but some say in money matches Jose had a slight edge.

yeah, its so sad that some people are undermining Parica's accomplishments because of this and some other factors. even sadder is the fact that some of these detractors are his own countrymen. I remember getting into an argument with a nobody before discrediting Parica and even got to a low point on personally attacking me. what a lowlife of a crab. anyway, ran late into a party again and congrats to Parica for being inducted finally.

usa is taking away support for education, housing, and health care- think building up development for billiards is gonna happen?

there was less things to do to occupy yourself then no cell phones or computers. and if you could play pool you could easily make money,
and parents give give the kids much or any.
there is no incentive nowadays as few gamble at it. other than self satisfaction there needs to be a reward for getting good.
