Four out of Eight for Team Philippines

It was a great showing for Team Philippines in the recently concluded Shanghai International Darts Open. Four out of the top eight are Darterong Pinoys! While the 3-time World Champ earned the highest slot, Ian perez held the runner-up position while Lourence Ilagan settled in the top 3 post. Boie Parfan and Robert Calupit shared the fifth post with Chris White and Warren Parry. We may have failed to get the championship crown but it was such a formidable display of darts for our squad. There were actually six Filipinos who joined the event, the other two being Arvy Briones (who was in the last 16 but eventually bowed to Ian perez) and Mon Sabalboro. These pinoy darters are just some of our top guns. There are still those who missed to join because of lack of funds and sponsorship. Better watch out in the coming Pacmania Darts!!! I would love to see the likes of Boy Gionzon, Dixie Ybanez, Orlan Bernardino,Jun Espiniola, and Ricky Santiago show their solid forms in this upcoming event.

Oh, by the way, Analiza "An An" Awitan also placed third in the women's division. Stacey Bromberg and Mayumi Ouchi were the Champion and runner-up respectively.

The three-time World Champion, John "Darth Maple" Part, once again showed the world what he is made of as he emerged as the men's Champion in the recently concluded Shanghai Open. He was responsible for the lone loss, in the round robin phase, of NDFP's # 1 Celso "Boie" Parfan. Part landed # 10 in the last 64 while the top two posts were occupied by our Filipino darters. John Part faced Christian "Ian" Perez (NDFP's #2) in the Championship dispatching the latter at a score of 10-4. Perez dispatched Lourence "The Gunner" Ilagan securing a shot at the Championship against John Part. As for Ian Perez, facing the 3-time World Champion is a BIG achievement in itself. Finishing second to Part is a feat that we can be so proud of! The same goes to the rest of the Darterong Pinoys who competed in the said event, you guys truly made us proud. For sure, by now, darters and sponsors alike noticed your talents... David "The Scorpion" Fatum, in his blog, mentioned that the Philippines will be the "next power house in darts to come".
Congratulations, Ian Perez and the rest of the Philippine contigent ( Boie Parfan, Lourence Ilagan, Robert Reyes, Arvy Briones, Mon Sabalborro)!!!
