The Philippine Embassy Team was the runaway winner in the recently concluded ASEAN Missions’ Bowling Tournament held at the Al-Khozama Bowling Centre, Riyadh, KSA on 19 November 2009. It bagged this year’s championship trophy and maintained its spotless record for being undefeated since 2002.
The team was energized by the presence of the high ranking officials of the Embassy headed by Ambassador Antonio P. Villamor. They consistently displayed excellent performances like professional athletes until the very end. Their early lead against the other participating countries proved to be insurmountable.
Attaché Princesa V. Tabago of the Philippine Team also took home an individual prize. She was awarded as the Best Female Player for garnering the highest total pin falls among the women competitors while Mr. Abdurrahman Burhani of Indonesia clinched the Best Male Player award.
The Philippine Bowling Team was composed of Attachés Abdul Hamid Alawi, Alberto V. Rodillo, Princesa V. Tabago and Messrs. Nasrodin M. Usudan and Jonathan C. Tabago. Cultural Attaché Rosario G. Malicse served as Team Captain and Philippine ARSSC Coordinator.
Other team winners were the Embassy of Indonesia, which placed first runner-up while the second runner-up trophy went to the Embassy of Thailand.
The teams from the Embassies of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Vietnam did not make it to the magic three but played as good sports and displayed the true ASEAN spirit of camaraderie throughout the event.
This year’s host of the bowling tournament was the Embassy of Singapore, which provided a sumptuous lunch for ASEAN diplomats and their families at the Riyadh Chinese Restaurant after the awarding ceremony at the Al-Khozama Bowling Center.
