Thanks for the link! What a paradise for the up and coming players and established stars.

It is a private club and you must be an invited guest to play there. It is primarily for the rising young stars and some of the veteran players to practice and match up. None of them pay time there, and even drinks are on the house. It is open every day and many young players are in there all day long. It is the defacto training ground for young talent in the Philippines.

They are speaking Tagalog, sprinkled here and there with some Spanish words.
The Philippines were once a part of the Spanish Empire and many Spanish words are still in use there. For instance the Spanish word for rail (cushion) in billiards is 'banda' and it means the same thing in the Philippines.
