IT'S all systems go for the 34th Annual National Fedbop Bowling Championships set to roll off on May 2 to 7 at the Gold City Commercial Complex in Tagum City.
Federation of Duckpin Bowlers of the Philippines (Fedbop) board member Emie Orteza, appearing in the regular Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn on Thursday, said more than 500 pintopplers are seeing action in the event.
"Everything is set. Some 100 men's teams and 80 women's teams competing in the five-member team competition that offers huge cash prizes at stake," Orteza said.
The champion team in both divisions will receive P60,000 each while the next three placers will get P40,000, P30,000 and P20,000, respectively.
Cash prizes also await individual and youth category A, B, C, D, E winners and masters game top performers. The top 20 bowlers will also go home with cash rewards.
"This is the biggest Fedbop tournament, in terms of cash prizes. Even prizes for the youth winners were raised this year. The support of the city and provincial governments has really been a very big boost to duckpin bowling," Orteza said.
Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario and Tagum City Mayor Rey Uy are backing up the event organized by the Davao Province Bowlers Association (Daproba).
A motorcade from Tagum City Hall to the playing venue will usher in the opening of the bowlfest on Monday morning. A fellowship will also be held in the evening. (MLSA)

Tagum to host bowling event
TAGUM City is ready to host the P600,000-rich 34th Fedbop Annual National Duckpin Bowling Championship Tournament set to roll off on May 2 to 7 at the Gold City Commercial Complex.
Federation of Duckpin Bowlers of the Philippines (Fedbop) Board member Emie Orteza, who is also president of the Sunday Bowlers Club, said Tagum City Mayor Rey Uy committed to sponsor P300,000 of the total cash prize and the fellowship night for hundreds of participants from all over the country.
"Mayor Uy's generous support is really a big boost to the tournament as it will not only give away cash prizes to team and masters game winners but also to youth bowlers. Tagum has always been a gracious host to the annual competition," Orteza said during the Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn on Thursday.
He also cited Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario as among the major backers of the meet that will have Davao City and Zamboanga City defend the women's and men's team titles, respectively.
Davao City has held the ladies title for the past 10 years while SBC Daciba men's team was only a third-placer in last year's event held in Zamboanga City.
"Our men's team hopes to regain the championship that we won in Koronadal in 2005. We are confident of our chances this time considering that our bowlers have been preparing for the nationals through our weekly tournaments," Orteza said.
The SBC President's Cup is ongoing while the SBC Dalawahan Tournament will resume on Sunday. Preparations are also underway for the Mayor Inday Sara and Vice Mayor Rody Duterte Open Bowling Tournament on March 17 to 25.
Cash prizes of P60,000, P40,000, P30,000 and P20,000 await the top four teams of men's and women's divisions in the Fedbop annual championship.
The first four masters game winners in both categories will go home with P2,000, P1,500, P1,000 and 800 while the grand master bowler will get P2,000 and a trophy.
