Edwin passed away when I was on my way to the hospital just a few minutes after he was shot twice (.45 cal) by a DHL impostor. He did not get to complete the "s" in his signature when he was shot. On his lap was his baby girl. Inside the package was a broken cheap pool cue. When I was told that...

It's been some time since the posters here were bombarded with the issues in Philippine Billiards. We owe it to you to at least update you... BSCP, the Philippine National Sport Association (NSA) for Billiards - led by Yen Makabenta, Tony Baranda, Ernie Fajardo and Baste Chua - had just ended...

My fellow Pool friends throughout the world, I am starting a petition to expel BSCP as an NSA and as a WPA country representative. The local issues against BSCP have been widely posted through the forums in the Internet. So if you are a Filipino, please indicate your place of birth and signify...

WPA President Ian Andersen Links I've been trying to search for links Ian Andersen's statements that assured us that WTB funding was going to be in good order and that there will be a bonus on top of the $400,000. The guy's gotta own up to it. I am sure that these statements had convinced many...

While BMPAP is still trying to work out a Manila WPC 2008, BSCP's WTBC is all set for September 29 to October 5. BMPAP is admittedly trying to come up with enough funding to buy the event after Matchroom Sports thought that WPC was in good hands for a third straight year in Manila...

There is hardly nothing new with Makabenta's introduction of BSCP. This is what we want to know: 1] Who put "Bona Fide" Makabenta, Baranda, Chua, et al into BSCP? Does BSCP have a set of legitimate and legal By-Laws and Constitution registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission...
