round of applause from the top-ranked cue artists led by Efren "Bata"
Reyes.
On Thursday's special edition of the Davao Sportswriters Association

one sport that Filipinos excel in the international scene that

Warren Kiamco and Roberto Gomez.

he is ready for the competition and Valle, the Cebu leg champion,
added that the competition is going to be exciting and all top-ranked
players are ready for action.
