Lee Vann Corteza Wins San Miguel Beer Oktoberfest 9-Ball Open at Resorts World!

Lee Vann Corteza, aka The Slayer, staged an exciting rally to humble World No. 1 Dennis Orcollo, 11-8, in the finals of the 2011 San Miguel Beer Oktoberfest Festival 9-ball Open Masters held at the Resorts World Manila, Sunday, October 30, 2011. Incidentally, Orcollo is the defending champion of the event.

Corteza, who plays for the Negros Billiards Stable and JSY Sports, fought back from a 1-3 deficit by winning 5 of the next 6 racks. He capitalized on Orcollo’s miscue in the 10th rack to seize a 6-4 lead. And I kid you not!

He sustained his pace from there and took 5 of the next 9 racks to complete the win worth a cool Php350,000, including a San Miguel Beer Mug trophy.

Corteza’s sponsors include Kopiko, Energen, Hustlin USA, and Diveney Cues.

The Wild Swans Live in the Philippines! Schedule and Ticket Prices!

Finally, the long wait is over! For the first time – THE VERY FIRST TIME – The Wild Swans will be performing live in the Philippines! And I kid you not! WOOOO!

The Wild Swans, one of the most successful new-wave bands to hit mainstream radio in the Pool Capital of the World, will perform live at the Waterfront Hotel & Casino in Lahug, Cebu City, and at One Esplanade, SM Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City on September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2011, respectively,

The Wild Swans is one of my uber-favorite bands of all time! The post-punk band from Liverpool, England, made its debut in 1980 shortly after Paul Simpson left The Teardrop Explodes and teamed up with Jeremy Kelly, Ged Quinn, James Weston, and Justin Stavely, who was later replaced by Alan Wills. The Wild Swans have enjoyed a huge degree of success and cult status in several countries, i.e., USA, UK, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines.

And who in the world could ever forget their songs? Whirlpool Heart! Northern England! Bringing Home the Ashes! Now and Forever! Melting Blue Delicious! Bible Dreams! Telescope! And more!

I, like everyone else, have waited for this all my life! And now, they are finally here! The Wild Swans are finally performing live in the Philippines! Indeed, it is a great time to reminisce the good times!

Yes, you’ve read right, everyone! DMC Philippines, in cooperation with Mossimo Music, Magic 89.9, Myx, and Oxford Suites, is bringing to you Paul Simpson and the Wild Swans LIVE!
