As far as Carlo Biado is concerned, the Philippines will never run out of future world pool champions like him.

The newly crowned two-time world titlist is confident that more Filipino cue artists will follow in his footsteps, pointing to the strong showing of Filipino participants in the recent tournament held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

This year, 18 Filipinos competed in the 128-player field, with 12 advancing to the 64-player knockout stage.

Among them were rising stars Bernie Regalario and AJ Manas, touted as the “future of Philippine billiards.”
