Billiard has been one of my favorite table game during high school. I even do some cutting classes with my friends just to play billiard near our school. I feel very happy when I'm in a billiard house as I feel no stagnant moments since I really enjoy playing especially when there's some betting in it. I see good players in many billiard halls but I only idolized one guy in the game of billiard.
His name is Efren "Bata" Reyes, aka the Magician as he does many impossible things that really very difficult to execute. I mostly watched his videos in streaming platform YouTube. All his incredible moves and it was really hard to replicate most of it. Even international billiard players respected him as a great player.
He has been a renowned champion of many tournaments internationally and represented our country Philippines in Asian Games and won medals. He has been a pride of our country and he was able to share his talents and bring great name for our country. If you can search his Wikipedia on the internet, I would say, you feel amazing for him as he won a lot of titles and achievement.
With his great performance in the world of billiard, he was given the opportunity to be a part of Philippine's action star Fernando Poe Jr. in the movie. Aside from becoming a star, he was also an endorser of the Philippines number one beer.
We never know when Efren Reyes will retire in billiard sport as he is now at 64. I am hoping that another Filipino player that possessed the equal skill.
