Magician Efren
Author’s Note. Back in my high school days, it was normal for us students to skip classes to play billiards at the “Pink House” along Katipunan Ave. across the Ateneo campus. Our dean of discipline, Mr. Vergara, whom we dubbed Garaver, would raid the Pink House regularly to round us back to the corral. So, I can rightfully say that I speak with authority on the subject of billiards. Efren can make billiards magic because he shoots with his mind, not his hands. In truth, billiards is more of a cerebral rather than a physical game, an intellectual game rather than plain geometry and angles. That is why Efren, the Magician is revered by everyone, especially global billiard pros and commentators. He would ponder silently while chalking his cue stick and his mind would be racing through complex possibilities with lightning speed before finally making his move without hesitation. Billiards is the merging of the physics of motion and momentum and the metaphysics of “feel” and psychic power. Especially in eight-ball, it requires analysis and strategy as to where to place the cue ball for the next shot, what Filipinos call “preparacion” — a Spanish word. This is the expertise of Efren the Magician, or Efren “Bata” (The Kid) Reyes, rightfully the greatest pool player in the world today, according to pool commentators and pros. He makes his “preparacion” with ease. This has made him the first non-American to win the US Open Pool Championship. TV anchors would normally predict how Efren would play his “preparacion,” but many times they would be wrong because Efren thinks out of the box. He would go for a complex three-rail bank shot with ease instead of the more obvious straight shot. Indeed, Filipino pool players, led by Efren, are noted worldwide for the unique way they play, and how they are changing the way pool is played on the global level. The great champions from Europe and America have started adopting the unorthodox way Filipinos play. There is today a radical Filipino pool culture respected in the global arena. Efren is especially noted for casually shifting from his right hand to his left to shoot, which is a unique Filipino playing style. He is an expert in masse, giving the cue ball enough of a spin to curve around or jump over an obstructing ball by hitting the cue ball at a steep angle using a shorter cue stick. Another expertise of Efren is the “safety shot,” hiding the cue ball from the target ball, if he has no open shot to make. Rather than risk a dangerous shot to pocket the ball, this defensive strategy often leaves the opponent with an impossible shot. Efren can maneuver and hide the cue ball from the target ball with ease. Efren’s charisma abroad is phenomenal. They all love the way he scratches his head when he makes a blunder. You would not know if he made a mistake or played his magic, because, either way, he has on this sheepish smile. He would giggle if he did a “tsamba,” a lucky accident of sinking a ball in an unintended pocket. He brims with humility even in his greatness. Filipinos are good at billiards partly perhaps because it is a poor man’s game, as Efren was as a kid. One can spend hours in the billiard hall. Time just melts away. It is called making “istambay,” a corruption of the English word “stand by.” Just hanging around the pool hall all day and learning lessons from the experts, like Efren did as a kid. In contrast, sports like basketball and swimming are essentially more expensive to go into. Billiards is an “easy” and “cheap” sport because it is essentially entertainment, but at the same time cerebral. It can be expensive only if you gamble. Efren is known as the richest pool player of all time. He has earned about $2 million or P100 million as of February 2023. He is in the Guinness World Records. He and Francisco Bustamante hold the records for the greatest number of victories in pool in 2006 and 2009, respectively; followed by Li Hewen and Fu Jianbo of China in 2007 and 2010, respectively. (Source: guinnessworldrecords.com) At the age of 68, Efren still has not retired. Unlike in boxing or basketball where great athletes retire early, in pool, which requires little physical effort, there are a few rare great pros who are septuagenarians. Wikipedia lists Efren’s titles and achievements at a phenomenal 137, as of this writing. The post Magician Efren appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Newly formed developer plans vacation home project, targets passive earners
Havitas Properties, a newly established developer founded by real estate veterans, is planning to build its first project—an income-generating vacation home in Talisay, Batangas. The project, dubbed AYA HILLS, will be a community of vacation homes targeted to serve the market demand of property investors looking for passive income opportunities. The project will be launched in the last quarter of the year. “Given our wide and complementary fields of expertise, we can look at a potential project from distinct angles and come up with a market-leading development strategy,” Havitas Properties chairman Alejandro S. Mañalac said at a press briefing on Tuesday. “We saw this property with a commanding view of Taal Lake and immediately realized that we could come up with a unique product, a lifestyle-oriented development of uniquely-designed vacation or staycation homes, with strong income potential from rentals”, he added. The founders of the company consist of past and present top executives from leading real estate developers in the Philippines. Havitas Properties was established by real estate veterans Mañalac, Jonathan F. Caro, Erwin M. de Pedro & David L. Rafael, fresh from the success of their real estate development consultancy firm, Havitas Developments. Michael Tan, director of LT Group and president of Asia Brewery, also has a personal investment in the company. Additionally, the team includes Robin H. Karlsen, who possesses broad market experience in land acquisitions for international real estate developers.

Taguig cops figure in bloody gunplay
A policeman was shot dead while another was brought to a hospital in critical condition following a gunplay inside the Taguig City Police Station before noon Monday. A third policeman, the alleged assailant, was also wounded. The fatality was identified as P/EMS Heriberto Saguiped, while those who were wounded in the shooting incident were named in a spot police report as P/Cpl. Alison Sindac and P/CMS Alraquib Aguel. Aguel confronted Saguiped inside the Office of the Community Affairs Section of the Taguig police headquarters in Barangay Tuktukan, according to the spot report that said Sindac was hurt while pacifying Aguel and Saguiped. According to Taguig police chief P/Col. Robert Baesa, Aguel went amuck after engaging Saguiped, reportedly a member of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force Batch ‘97, in a heated argument allegedly about food. Saguiped sustained gunshot wounds to the head, police sources said. Listed in critical condition was Sindac, while Aguel was also brought to a hospital for treatment after being shot by a responding policeman. Aguel was tagged a suspect in shooting both Saguiped and Sindac. All three police officers are assigned to the said police station. The incident happened at around 11:30 a.m. in the police station located inside the City Hall compound. Baesa said they were still investigating all other angles.
