Filipinos, 2 Can Play The Game – 2021 US Open 9-Ball, Where Carlo Biado Is Champion & Wife Niecky Quebec Is Winner!


This is the true story of Filipinos Carlo Biado and wife Niecky Quebecwho actually helped him win Sunday, 19 September, the 2021 US Open 9-Ball Championship at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. Prize: $50,000 (P2.5 million).

His opponent, Singapore’s Aloysius Yapp, never had any remote idea he was fighting a Filipino Husband & Wife Team!

This is the Carlo Biado 9-Ball Championship story nobody else is telling you.

First, I am proud to say I and Carlo are Ilocano, and we have roots from Rosario, La Union. I used to play pool myself – we called it “billiards” – until college in the early 1960s. I was an A-player too: I could defeat you with a “love set,” meaning, you never get to play while I pocket all the balls and finish the game all by myself! Magic? You need nerves, plus experience plus an experimental mind like that of the incomparable billiards “Magician” Efren “Bata” Reyes, another Filipino.

Philip Matel says (23 September 2021, “New Champ Carlo Biado Made Magic In US Open Thanks To Fellow Filipino Efren 'Bata' Reyes[1],” TV5, espn.com):

Newly crowned US Open Pool champion Carlo Biado has billiards legend Efren "Bata" Reyes to thank for serving as an inspiration in his momentous victory.

Philip is incorrect! Carlo made magic in the US Open, thanks to his wife Niecky! Philip himself says:

In the early goings of the contest, Yapp took a commanding five-rack lead, 8-3, which rattled the Filipino.

However, a familiar face in the crowd soothed Biado's nerves, and he then found the resolve to respond.

Carlo responded with new resolve and went on to win the championship! What would he have done without his wife encouraging him right there and then?!

Mark Giongcosays, “Down, 3-8, Biado won 10 straight racks to claim the prestigious title” (19 September 2021, “Carlo Biado Rallies To Win US Open 9-Ball Title,” Sports, Inquirer.net). “The 37-year-old Biado became the first Filipino to win the tournament since Efren “Bata” Reyes in 1994.”

So, I say, actually a Husband & Wife Team jointly won the 2021 US Open 9-Ball Championship!

(Lesson: Husband, love your wife. Wife, love your husband. Do things together whenever you can!)

(Now then, you look up again. From their Facebook page, the lower image shows husband & wife doing their Tik Tok – with love.)

The wife gave her husband encouragement when he most needed it!

Philip Matelsays Carlo said:

My wife was there in front of the crowd. She told me to relax and not think about the bad chances I got with the ball. I just needed to play my game. I felt I was going to win, and she told me the same thing before playing. That's why I felt good.

Now, watch!

Biado-Yapp, 3-8
Biado-Yapp, 4-8
Biado-Yapp, 5-8
Biado-Yapp, 6-8
Biado-Yapp, 7-8
Biado-Yapp, 8-8
Biado-Yapp, 9-8
Biado-Yapp, 10-8
Biado-Yapp, 11-8
Biado-Yapp, 12-8
Biado-Yapp, 13-8!

Total: 11 love sets. “Lucky 13?” No, “Gritty 13!”@517

Knorr Of Big Business Unilever Thinks Big Business Regenerative Agriculture – My Tiny Country PH Also Should!

Image
“Knorr’s plan for 50 regenerative agriculture projects is predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by an estimated 30% while improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods.” That is regenerative agriculture (RA) news by Julian Cirineo (05 Nov 2021, “Unilever Wants To Rethink How Farms Work To Secure Food And Resources For The Future,” Rappler , rappler.com ). Note: 50 (not 5 only) RA projects to improve greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and water use by 30% – plus improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods. Note the last 7 words in the above paragraph. How can RA improve biodiversity? RA requires that the farmer practices multiculture (a few or many crops grown at the same time in the same place), where monoculture (such as rice-only or corn-only) is the practice – the biodiversity improves crop health because of the ensuing balance of nature, such as some organisms feed on other organisms that would otherwise become pests or cause diseases. RA is your

In Looking At The Crown Of Thorns, I Found The Clowns

We could use a surprise sense of humor!  Yes, especially on the wide problematic fields of Agriculture. There was this news that some high PH government officials wanted to probe Vice President Leni Robredo for “competing against” PH agencies in providing much-needed assistances during this coronavirus lockdown, and Marigs Laririt shared a picture-story on Facebook quoting Ms Leni as saying, “I didn’t know it was competition. I didn’t see any competitors!” Ms Marigs says, “Ay, parang friends ko kung sumagot si Mam.” (Ay, with Mam, it’s just like my friends answering back.) That is a two-handed backslap, and you can imagine the lady laughing! She is the humor-monger; they are the clowns. Today is Friday, 03 April 2020 and in one account ( Wikipedia ), Friday the 3 rd of April was crucifixion of Jesus and his crowning of thorns [1] .

“Natural Farming” – Aggie Journalists, We Must Be Careful With The Terms We Use!

Image
Look at the contrasting images: Which one is correct in claiming what is being practiced is “natural farming”? Top Image: This one accompanies the Anonymous WWF-Philippines story, “Mindanao Farmers Start Off the Year with Natural Farming Systems Technology” published online December 2019 [1] . The World Wide Fund, WWF, is a very credible international source of knowledge on conservation, right? Not this time. Very clearly, you can see the white plastic mulch covering the furrows and bare soil in-between them. Mr or Ms Anonymous, the plastic mulch is not natural. The soil not covered in-between furrows is not natural. So much soil bare, not natural, allowing so much natural water wasted because it had evaporated from the unprotected, hot soil surface! That is not conservation; that is not natural. The term “natural” is used here very carelessly . Aggie journalists, wake up! How come I noticed all that immediately when I saw the photograph? Because I learned my organic farming more t
