ABAP executive director Ed Picson reports the Filipino simon-pures are the toast of the tournament."So many people come up to us to congratulate us, wish us well and even ask if they could train in the Philippines! But we're focused on the task ahead...to soak up as much knowledge as we can and if fate allows it, to bring home some golden presents to our countrymen." The last time the Philippines participated here was in 2006 with Joan Tipon and Violito Payla bringing home the gold.  |
