the vice man cometh

december 29, 2006 will be a day long remembered
by billiard players and enthusiasts...
it was the day that the loving husband of ellen,
the dotting father of tim,
the dedicated president of msba,
the man behind prebon,
the cpa from batangas,
my financial advisor,
my sponsor,
my brother in both war and peace,
and my very good friend,
the vice man....mr. carlito b. de castro
won the philippine team coach's 9-ball open challenge ! ! !

(wow! ang laki ng trophy!!! at may P10,000 cash prize pa!!!)

(this victory was a sweet one for vice because
the tour featured a lot of very good players from other countries...)




vice with the englishman and the brains behind the tour...
one of the country's billiard greats, a very gifted player,
one of my mentors and a very good friend,
the coach of the philippine team...mr. boyet asonto
