00:00In billiards, the Amit Cup Season 3 Leg 3 was a successful edition
00:05that was held at VIP Billiard Hall, Pasay City.
00:08Bernadette Pinoy has the report on who were the champion winners.
00:15In the beginning of 2025,
00:18the Filipino billiard artists immediately made their appearance
00:21in Amit Cup Season 3 Leg 3.
00:23As many as 142 players registered for the tournament
00:28and joined the Intermediate and Advanced Division.
00:30According to the founders, Narendra Vera and Filipino billiard legend Rubilin Amit,
00:35this was their biggest achievement since the start of the tournament.
00:40It was a dream come true for Rubilin and I.
00:43Honestly, we knew that we would reach there,
00:46but I personally did not expect that it would happen that fast.
00:52So, our rate of engagement was exponential.
00:57And to think that we are just based in Metro Manila.
01:00Later on, Rubilin and I's dream was to reach the entire country.
01:05So, when we achieved that feeling,
01:08there were so many players who could join.
01:11In the match, Queen Legaspi won the Advanced Category
01:16after defeating Sofia Rosales 7-5.
01:19While Olive Olivero defeated Anne Santa Monica
01:22in the Finals of the Intermediate Class
01:24with a final score of 7-5.
01:27Honestly, there are a lot of female players here.
01:30At their age, they are better than me.
01:33So, I always tell them,
01:35don't be discouraged, especially when you lose in a tournament.
01:38Because that's how it is.
01:40You just have to go through that
01:42for the game to grow.
01:44And hopefully, the country can represent
01:46and bring honor to the country.
01:48Meanwhile, following the successful edition this January,
01:52Rubilin and I also announced
01:54that it is possible to host the Leg 4 and Grand Finals
01:57of the tournament in March and May this year.
02:01They are also open to the Pinay pool players
02:03who joined our Cup.
