THE Philippines suffered painful, harrowing defeats after cue artist Carlo Biado and duathletes Kim Mangrobang and Fer Casares fell by the wayside against the strong foreign challenge in The World Games in Birmingham, Alabama on Sunday.
Biado absorbed an 11-8 defeat to German Joshua Filler in the semifinals and then succumbed to Singaporean Aloysius Yapp in the battle for the bronze medal via the same score and wound up fourth.
The pair of defeats came at the hands of Mr. Filler, a repeat of his win over Mr. Biado in the finals of the 2018 World Pool Championship in Doha, Qatar, and Mr. Yapp, who avenged his defeat to the Filipino in the finals of the US Open last year.
