00:26Good morning!
00:31Good morning!
00:32Good morning!
00:34Welcome to PTV Sports!
00:37Thank you!
00:38Sir Perry, you've been in the billiard industry for more than 40 years.
00:45Mahigit 40 years.
00:47Ano po ba yung pinaka-memorable moments ninyo sa billiards?
00:53Naku ko!
00:54Ang dami nun!
00:56World pool na ginawa rito.
00:58Nung nanalo si Alcano na player ko siya.
01:03At siya ka si Gomez na nag-runner up.
01:06Dalawang world nine yun.
01:09Gomez and Alcano is both my player.
01:13Naku, talagang ito yung mga legends of billiards.
01:18Now, meron po kayong sinabi na ang billiards ay isang gentleman's game.
01:25Kailangan ito na it's very respectful, quiet and focused.
01:30Ano po ba ibig sabihin yun?
01:31Hindi, hindi.
01:32Nung araw, ang billiards was considered a gentleman's sport.
01:39So, sila, eto yun, nakabotay pa yan eh.
01:43Tapos nung later on, naging bargain na yan sa Amerika eh.
01:47So, nag-evolve more on drinking, whatever.
01:54Pero, ang tournament is still a concentration pa rin.
02:03Hindi pwede mag-iinom mo ng beer dun sa loob ng tournament.
02:07Pero bad game yan.
02:09Kumbaga, during tournaments, Jig, it has to be very quiet eh.
02:14Kasi may focus eh.
02:16na dapat sinusundan.
02:18So, sa tingin mo ba yung mga, pag may mga sumisigaw
02:20o sa loob ng matches, parang nakikita natin, minsan, sa SBA, no?
02:26Sharks failure.
02:28That's right.
02:29You cannot help it because may mga audience.
02:32Pwede talaga silang sumigaw, di ba?
02:35Pero pag ginamit mo yung Shark King as an attraction to the sport,
02:39it will never work.
02:41Kasi ang Shark King, hindi yan ang attraction sa sport.
02:45Ang attraction sa sport is lahat ng sport.
02:48Competitiveness.
02:50Tama?
02:51At saka yung mga magical shots, mga impossible shots.
02:55Yung different talents na nakikita mo.
02:58Dahil nga yung Shark King sa Sharks, sinabi ko yan sana ako, ayaw ko yan.
03:04You have to develop the sport through competitiveness at saka yung entertainment na nakikita talaga.
03:15Nakakatanggal ba yun sa abilidad ng mga players to execute well kapag may mga distraction na gano'n?
03:24A percentage of it.
03:26Pero yung magagaling, okay lang.
03:29Pero yung para mo gawing attraction, hindi pwede yan.
03:34Bumunta ka ba sa basketball kung makikinig ka lang ng mural, di ba?
03:39Kasi Shark King is talaga, no holds bar eh.
03:43Pwede talagang silang suligaw, magmura, mag-cuss.
03:48For you.
03:49So, yung founder po ng Sharks Billiard Association, eh anak nyo po, si Hadley Mariano.
03:56Si Hadley.
03:56Ay takaloon mo ba kayo ng discussion about it?
03:59Definitely yung style nyo po is more on the traditional side, na dapat very respectful, very quiet.
04:06Talagang you have to respect the game.
04:07As opposed dun po sa binuo ng anak nyo na Sharks Billiard Association, na talagang mainay.
04:13As I said, huwag niyang gamitin yun as an attraction, it will not work.
04:22Kailangan maganda, magal niyang player.
04:26May makikitang iba.
04:28Para si Ember, magic, magic.
04:31Maraming player tayong kayang gawin yung ginagawa ni Efren.
04:36Kaya lang, walang, hindi natin mabigyan ng exposure.
04:41So, huwag tayong mag-relay sa Sharks Billiard Association.
04:46Right.
04:48Sa current landscape ngayon ng media, parang may pressure.
04:52Kasi nakasama na kailangan maging entertaining, kailangan may rason para mag-tunin yung mga tao.
04:58Dahil ang daming kakopetensya ng mga ibang sports.
05:01So, sa palagay ninyo, maliban dun sa traditional game,
05:06ano pa kaya yung mga pwedeng idagdag sa laro ng billiards?
05:11To make it more appealing, perhaps, sa mga audience members.
05:15Sabihin natin, mas bata.
05:19Educate the players.
05:20Meaning, bigyan natin sila ng scholarship yung mga anak nila, future players.
05:26Kagaya na minibigyan natin sa inyong sports.
05:29So, you create a better breed of players.
05:34Ngayon, wala sinang pinakaramang niya.
05:36Walang binagaralan niya.
05:38So, pag in-interview mo, it doesn't help the sport.
05:40Pero kung binigyan mo yan ng college, yung next generation, not this generation,
05:46nagkaroon kayo ng player parang basketball,
05:49Daling Lazal, Ateneo,
05:51do you think it will not grow big?
05:54It will grow.
05:56Do you think po yung mga players who are currently playing dito sa Sharks Billiard Association
06:01would have a brighter future in terms of professional billiards?
06:06Or since ang condition or yung liga na nilalaroan nila
06:11has a totally different format from the traditional one, hanggang doon na lang sila?
06:19Hindi kong masagot eh kasi hindi natin alam yung mara ng audience eh.
06:24Pero para sa akin, mahirap.
06:27Mahirap.
06:28Kailangan talaga mag-start sa grassroots sa billiard ulit.
06:33Parang basketball, no? Araw kato-kato lang laro yan.
06:36Eh nung mag-sumikat, nagkaroon ng college, high school.
06:41Ngayon, tinan mo nila.
06:43So, sa tingin nyo, are there any...
06:45Meron silang fans. May alumni fans.
06:48Right.
06:49So, outside from developing yung mga mismong talents na nasa loob ng sport, no?
06:54Para maging, sabihin natin, mas media sabi sila,
06:58and be more likable to a wider audience.
07:01Meron ka bang naiisip na rules perhaps sa billiards
07:04na sa tingin mo dapat it-tweak to make the sport more entertaining, more engaging?
07:09Or is the way yung current setup niya okay na?
07:13Yan na yan.
07:14Wala nang kailangan baguhin.
07:17Wala na.
07:18So, tradition talaga.
07:19Yeah, yeah.
07:20Traditional format.
07:21Oo.
07:22It's the best.
07:22So, kahit bigyan kayta sir ng power,
07:24mag-change ng kahit anong rules.
07:25Sabihin natin, sa SBA,
07:27sa Sharks Billiards, may papulitan ba kayo or wala?
07:31Mariban lang siguro sa sharking.
07:33Oo.
07:34Tsaka, ano, kailangan ni-develop talaga yung education ng players.
07:40The players.
07:41Yung breeding ground dapat naiyo.
07:44So, number one para kay Sir Perry is education.
07:47Yes.
07:48And so, Sir Perry, kung si Efren Bata Reyes and Django Bustamante
07:53plays under the conditions ng Shark Billiard Association
07:57kung saan may sharking, do you think they will still,
08:00kumbaga, thrive?
08:02Yes.
08:03Bakit mo?
08:05Kasi, they will thrive because they used to play outside
08:09in the streets.
08:11May sharking niya.
08:12Kaya lang,
08:14pag tumitira sila wala.
08:16Pero, yung nandang yung crowd ha?
08:19Parang shabo ba yun eh.
08:20Oo.
08:22That's right, no?
08:23So, for sure.
08:24Ako na, I also agree with Sir Perry
08:26that si Sir Efren Bata Reyes and Django Bustamante,
08:29I mean, their skills kasi, despite the fact that
08:33meron man sharking diyan,
08:34ingrained na kasi sa kanila eh.
08:36Yung level of expertise yun lang
08:39when it comes to billiards.
08:40So, it doesn't matter kung maingay.
08:42Natural talent.
08:44Natural.
08:44Quality will shine through.
08:46At saka, pag nagpa-practice naman sila
08:47sa mga pool halls dito sa Pilipinas,
08:50medyo maingay din naman.
08:51Madami din naman ah.
08:54Mayroon mga discos out.
08:56Discos out.
08:59Sir Perry, kilala ka bilang supporter
09:02ng Philippine billiards.
09:05Andami niyo pong tinulungan
09:07ng mga billiard players.
09:09Andiyan na nga si
09:09Django Bustamante,
09:12Dennis Orfulio,
09:13Carlo Biado.
09:14Ano po ba yung philosophy niyo
09:16sa pagtulong
09:17sa mga billiard player na ito,
09:20sa mga few artists na ito?
09:21There was a time na hindi naman ako
09:24involved.
09:24Naglalaro ko.
09:25Passive pen.
09:27Pero nung nakilala ko yun ng players
09:30na hindi makaalis.
09:34Walang, wala.
09:35Talagang down.
09:37Walang pang almusal.
09:39Walang pamasay.
09:40May 100 peso na entry
09:42may hindi maka-afford.
09:45Nagtayo ko ng Bugsy.
09:47Nung nag-start champion,
09:48na dala ko sila sa America.
09:51Anong nag-develop na,
09:52lumaki yung tao natin,
09:54dumami sa America.
09:56Kailangan niya.
09:56Because si Efren Django,
09:58he puyat din.
10:00And puyat,
10:01cannot send all of them.
10:03Kailangan niya ng tulong.
10:04Which is,
10:05yun yung Bugsy,
10:06nagkaroon ng Negros.
10:09Ngayon, marami na eh.
10:11So sa tingin niyo po,
10:12mas maganda na po yung condition
10:14ng ating mga billiards athletes today
10:16na mas madami na silang nakukuha
10:19ang suporta.
10:20May it be private or public sector.
10:23Yes.
10:23Mas maganda na yun.
10:25Kasi nakakita ko,
10:26nakakita ko,
10:27may auto na sila.
10:30Napag-aaral na anak nila.
10:31Hindi na,
10:32pag nagbigay kay Entropy,
10:342,000,
10:355,000,
10:35nabagayaan nila.
10:37Nung araw,
10:40wala.
10:41Yung nakikita niyo ngayon,
10:42Sir Perry, no?
10:44Sweldo na sila ngayon.
10:4540 years.
10:47Nakikita yung development
10:49ng billiards
10:51over the course of the 4 decades.
10:53Anong pakiramdam na nakikita niyo ngayon
10:56yung development na yan,
10:57development na mga players natin,
10:59and yung state ngayon of the game?
11:02Mas maganda ang financials nila ngayon.
11:05Pero kulang pa.
11:07Kasi tumakali pa yan.
11:10Kahit world champion,
11:14magbalik sa Filipinas
11:15after a few months,
11:17nasa kali with it.
11:19So,
11:20hindi enough
11:20yung price man
11:21to sustain
11:23yung life.
11:25Dapat
11:26tumakas ka gaya nun.
11:28LeBron James,
11:30yung mga ganoon,
11:30ang lalaki.
11:31They don't need to play outside.
11:34Ganon din ang billiards natin.
11:36Billiard players natin sa Filipinas
11:38lumalabas ba?
11:41So, ano sa tingin niyo po yung dapat mangyari
11:43given that situation
11:44where our athletes po
11:46kumikita ng malaki
11:47pero are not able to sustain it?
11:51Ano po yan?
11:51Financial knowledge po ba dapat?
11:53Or guidance?
11:54Um,
11:58censored ito eh.
11:59Para sabi.
12:01May censored.
12:02May PG version ba niyan?
12:03May PGS.
12:04Baka may PG version.
12:07Nagsasagot ko sa inyo
12:09baka
12:10medyo
12:11taliwas sa
12:13sa ano natin pananiwala
12:14ng mga hipokritoryo't tao.
12:17So,
12:18hindi ko na nasasagot eh.
12:20Pagpatay na lang ito.
12:22Oh, the record na.
12:23Abangan pa yan, Sir Perry.
12:25Ah, kailangan natin.
12:26Makikipagpuntuhan pa tayo kay Sir Perry

12:36ang narating natin
12:37in terms of billiards.
12:38Mas madami tayong mga potential athletes
12:40that will really, really make it big
12:43in the international stage.
12:45Malayo na.
12:46Malayo na.
12:48Kaya na kulang na kulang pa
12:51yung malayo natin
12:53yung kulang malayo.
12:55So, may progress

13:04Sir Perry, meron kayong pinatawag
13:06na lucky break.
13:07Can you tell us more about this?
13:08I think it's running
13:09for more than 30 years already.
13:11Unlucky break was the start
13:13of sharks.
13:16Unlucky break.
13:17Unlucky break is more on
13:19traditional.
13:21May mga handicapping.
13:23So, makikita mo yung competitiveness
13:26niyo.
13:28Ito na nanalo.
13:29Natagdagan mo na handicap.
13:31Matatalo.
13:32Gumagalaw.
13:33We call it a dynamic
13:34handicapping system.
13:36It started for me.
