Filipino cue stars almost swept the top three positions of the 2012 Japan Open 9-ball Championship when Carlo Biado, Ramil Gallego and Warren Kiamco found themselves in the top four with Satoshi Kawabata. Just a few weeks before, Dennis Orcollo, Francisco Bustamante and Alex Pagulayan clinched the top three positions in the U.S. Open 10-ball Championship.
However, it wasn't to be in Japan as Kawabata defeated Gallego in the semis to set up a date with Kiamco. In the end, the Filipino emerged victorious but the top three were now swept. A former player of the now defunct Negros Billiard Stable, Kiamco needed this win to revitalize is career. The Philippines is determined to reclaim its reputation as the kings of billiards and this year, it has been a successful campaign. Coming up next mnth is the World 9-ball Championship in Doha Qatar, arguable the most prestigious title in the world of pool. This is the event to win and this is another chance to see if the Filipinos will continue to show dominance.
