Villar Cup in Iloilo
Pool legend Efren “Bata” Reyes will compete with other top-notch billiard players as the 9th leg of the Manny Villar Cup takes place in Iloilo on July 30.
Reyes will be fighting for the P300,000 top prize with fellow former world champions Ronnie Alcano and Alex Pagulayan, former World No. 1 Dennis Orcullo and Francisco “Django” Bustamante, and former leg winners Warren Kiamco, Gandy Valle, Ramil “Bebeng” Gallego, Rodolfo “Boy Samson” Luat, Roberto “Superman” Gomez, and Lee Van “The Slayer” Corteza.
The Iloilo leg of the Villar Cup will run until August 2.
“I hope my fellow Illonggos will enjoy seeing our world-class billiards players playing in front of them, and to those who are aspiring to become one of them, may this provide them inspiration,” Sen. Manny Villar, the main sponsor of the tourney, said in report posted on BilliardPhilippines.com.
The Villar Cup has also allotted six slots for players residing in Iloilo and the nearby provinces.
There will be a qualifying tournament, which will also serve as the Western Visayas Regional Villards Billiards Championship, a day before the main draw.
