3rd Bills and Index Bowling Tournament

“ANG sarap pala ng pakiramdam pagka naka-strike ka, ‘no?,” thus declared Ursus Pilapil after he made his first ever strike during the San Miguel Corporation (SMC)-sponsored bowling tournament for the Bills and Index Service (BIS) and the Offices of the Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director of the Plenary Affairs Bureau (PAB) held on June 22, 2006 at the Ever-Gotesco Bowling Lanes along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.

Ursus ecstatically hopped from one table to another to announce his achievement. Unfortunately, he never won a prize for this feat. Still, every bowler took home a bag of goodies from SMC, and a case of soft drinks each for the top scorers.


Tess Puntero bagged the highest point in a series, with a score of 381 while Atty. Cesar Pareja scored 498 for men.

The ever-slender Dang Baquiran surprisingly bagged the highest score in a single game with 142 for women while Mr. Vic Caoile scored 211 for men.

Unexpectedly, the timid and soft-spoken Jinky Cagang got the most number of strikes for women generating 8 of them while Atty. Pareja got 11 for men.

Again, Tess Puntero (ang “anito” ng bowling) got the most number of spares for women generating 11 while Mr. Caoile got 16 for men.

The overall top 10 highest scorers for both men and women in a 3-game total were Executive Director Cesar Pareja with 498, Director Vic Caoile with 473, LtCol Sab Flores with 440, Erick del Castillo with 422, Cris Pascual with, 416 Philip Latonera with 406 and Chi Crescini with 400, Tess Puntero with 381, Obet Uno with 374 and Odie Relente with 371.

The teams were composed of: 1) Team Mawa – Team Captain Vic Caolile with members Terence Grana, Eric de Guzman, Evelyn Facturanan, Tita de Guzman, Ching Granados, Julius Cayas and Jude Parreno; 2) Team Bog – Team Captain Cesar Pareja with members Ariel Benipayo, Ober Uno, Tess Puntero, Ovet Corvera, Amy Fabroa, Ursus Pilapil and Phoebe Ora; 3) Team Mang – Team Captain Cris Pascual with members Erick del Castillo, Odie Relente, Elden Valencia, Kuh Ricafort, Blez Cinco, Nette Lomeda and Rene Caparas; 4) Team Buktu – Team Captain Freddie Recella with members Chi Crescini, Doy Baybayon, Dang Baquiran, Reli Aguilar, Ruth Nacario, June Poblete and Melo Tubog; 5) Team Ba – Team Captain Sab Flores with members Dante Rosalio, Philip Latonero, Cecille Manlutac, Trining Magat, Estela Hipolito, Macoy Lopez and Jinky Cagang.

The event, the third of the regular annual bowling tournament for the bosses and staff of the said offices, was organized by Freddie Recella, in coordination with Pam Mendoza-dela Cruz of the SMC Corporate Accounts Department (SMC-CAD).

In the inspirational message of Atty. Jing-jing de Castro, SMC-CAD’s big boss, she expressed her atmost gratitude to everybody, in behalf of her company, saying that the BIS and the executive offices of the PAB have been very supportive and helpful to their company in all its needs for their legislative researches. – Terence Grana (BIS)
