Puyat Sports, in cooperation with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC), the Billiard Sports Confederation of the Philippines (BSCP), and J&P Sports and Events, is undertaking an initiative like no other.

To continue the legacy and legendary tales of Efren Reyes, Francisco Bustamante, Jose Parica, Rodolfo Luat, and Leonardo Andam in the persons of our young ones. It’s The Junior Filipino Invasion program!

.
The country’s most promising young ones will battle it out on May 25-26, 2018! The top four finishers will get the chance of a lifetime!

For at least a year, they will go through rigorous training under the tutelage of Mr. Aristeo "Putch” Puyat – the Godfather of Philippine billiards - and the coaches of the Philippine Billiard Team, including:

• The Greatest of All Time - Efren Reyes
• Hall of Famer - Francisco Bustamante
• World Champion – Rodolfo Luat

.
The training will be comprehensive and wide-ranging, covering all aspects of the sport. It is one complete package designed by the coaches themselves to make the kids the best pool players they can be – the very best - the next generation of billiard superstars from the Pool Capital of the World!

They will learn all the secrets of the Filipino Invasion! And believe you me, it will be rigorous and demanding! Nothing will be held back.

.
At the discretion of the coaches, the kids will have that rare opportunity to become members of the Philippine Billiard Team and/or represent the flag in various meets, local and international.

And oh! The program comes complete with transportation and meal allowances, including the parent accompanying the player.

.
Kids, I love the sport with all my heart. And it continues to love me back even more. This one’s for y’all! And I kid you not!

Think of all the possibilities, all the potentials! This could be the start of something big! The sky's the limit! Take it! It’s yours! Good luck!

With that said, the search for the Junior Filipino Invasion begins. It starts on the 25th!

.

And on a personal note:

The Junior Filipino Invasion program is close to my heart. It is something I conceptualized and put in writing several years back. ️

We keep the kids off drugs, encourage them to stay in school, and further hone their pool playing skills – making them extremely dangerous on the green felt.

.
With the able guidance of their parents and the champions of the sport, the program will help these kids realize their dreams of playing for God, country, and family.

And with hope, the youngsters will become the masters of masters in the different pool disciplines. Individually, they will have their respective strengths. Collectively, they will be unstoppable!

They will be the kings of the game. They will be heroes – yours and mine. They will be the new Filipino Invasion!

.

And a whole-hearted thank you to the fine gentlemen of the cue sport:

Mr. Putch Puyat of Puyat Sports - the Godfather of Philippine Billiards
Officers and Directors of the PSC, POC, and BSCP
Coaches of the Philippine Billiard Team - Efren Reyes, Francisco Bustamante, and Rodolfo Luat
Mr. Allan Soliman - our new BSCP Tournament Official
Mr. Jesse Gonzales Cambosa Sr. - my hard-working kumpadre and new BSCP Director!

Thank you very much for giving me your word that you will take care of the kids, with emphasis on their needs on the green felt! ️

Thank you for the trust and confidence! Thank you very much for believing! Mabuhay po kayo!

.

I didn't know that, Pt109! Learned something new today.

The comment got me a bit excited ha ha ha! Sharing with you a photo that someone took while I was playing in the MAPPA 9-BALL event a couple of months back.

It brought a smile to my face.

Now, I don't play like Willie - very, very far from it, and don't pretend to be such. It was nice knowing the trivia of sort. Thank you very much for it.

My son is half filipino, mother and grandfather from CDO, mother from Pampanga (?). If I cannot get his dual citizenship in time next year, do you think he could compete?

Reason is his mother gave up her citizenship in Phil and has to reapply first before we can get his paperwork going.

Hello Team Slo, I really wish we could accommodate and all. However, he should have dual citizenship to compete.


AnitoKid

Just to add, my friend,

If ever you visit the country again, I'll make sure that you meet the champions and all. (That is if you haven't met them yet).

I'll introduce you to everyone. I'll get you from the airport myself and get you and your sons to the hotel.

Take care. And regards to your sons, please.
