Gabica joins tough Bali tilt





ANTONIO "GA-GA" Gabica will compete in the tough Bali International Open on Sept. 19-21 in Bali, Indonesia as he warms up for his up-coming campaign in the United States.


A gold medal winner in last year’s Southeast Asian Games, Gabica is one of the most under-rated players in the country. He’s the same guy who blanked Dennis Orcollo in the finals of the inaugural Philippine 9-Ball Open two years ago.

Orcollo, of course, is now considered as one of the heavyweights in the game today.

"Pagkakataon lang ang kailangan natin," said the soft-spoken cue artist from Cebu. "Tinalo ko na ‘yung mga magagaling. Kailangan lang makasali sa malalaking tournaments."

Gabica will make his debut in the land of milk and honey in the 2006 US Open on Sept. 25-Oct.1 in Chessapeake, Virginia.

"Talagang pinaghandaan ko talaga itong Bali Open. I hope na maging maganda ang resulta ng kampanya ko dito para may momentum pagsabak ko sa US."

Francisco "Django" Bustamante won the Bali Open last year.

Interestingly, the Filipinos dominated the last US Open with Alex Pagulayan and Jose "Amang" Parica finishing 1-2.

Gabica’s manager Perry Mariano believes his ward will be an instant hit in the US pool circuit.

"He (Gabica) has the talent," Mariano said. "Kung nakaya ni Dennis (Orcollo) na magpapanalo sa US, kaya rin ni Ga-Ga." —Noli CRUZ

I REALLY rate his break and 9 ball game, the US Open could suit him well.
 
He's just one of many lesser known Filipino players that could come over and surprise alot of people.
 
i think this is also the same guy who ran an 8 pack in one of the IPT qualifiers..not sure though

but I know that bustamante pointed to this guy as the one who could suceed him among the present crop of filipino pool players.
almost same style of playing
 
Lee Van Corteza

What about Lee Van Corteza? When is going to the USA to compete? I thought this guy was on the same level as Dennis Orcollo.

Opportunity is all we need.

I really prepared for Bali Open. I hope to have a good showing with my campaign here so I'd have momentum going in the US.
 
Gabica is a topnotch under-rated player outside of Asia. Hopefully, he has sorted out his Visa issues with Uncle Sam.

I haven't heard anything reguarding Corteza in quite some time. From what I've seen he is an incredible player, certainly capable of playing on the same level as an Orcullo or Manalo. Hopefully we will see him playing in the US sometime soon.
