12th Annual Philippine Professional Organization (PPO) One Day Bowling Event

On May 15, 2015, Friday @ 10:00 AM, PPO Sports Committee, headed by Engr. Ted Manzano, the current PPO Chairman and the past PPO sports chairman, Engr. Gay Pineda, had opened the One Day Bowling Tournament at Al Khozama Hotel Bowling Centre, Olaya Main Road, Riyadh with twelve (12) participating central region member organizations as follows; IECEP –KSA-CRC, COMSOFIL, PICE, PSME, PICPA, , FDK, UAP, IIEE, AFPEK, SOFIQS, GEP, and FTASA.

It all started with an invocation followed by the singing of our national anthem and welcome remarks of the PPO chairman, respectively. PICPA – Riyadh is the assigned host for PPO sport events this year. They did a good job maintaining the smooth operation and monitoring of the respective scores of the participating teams in three (3) sets. The event was divided into two (2) sessions, morning and afternoon. Everybody enjoyed the fun and the camaraderie while playing the games. Special prizes e.g. mugs had been awarded on the spot to players who made three (3) consecutive strikes with congratulatory announcements. Pictures were being taken during the progress of the games.

Finally, the much-awaited result of the tournament had come. Starting from the lowest rank, certificates of participation had been awarded to all players of all the participating teams until the awarding of trophies from the third runner-up up to the champion team. Here is the official tabulation; PICPA – 3rd Runner-up, PSME – 2nd Runner-up, PICE – 1st Runner-up, and the champion team, COMSOFIL. More picture takings had been done especially on the receipt of awards.

Although we had not made it to the Top 4, this is another wonderful sport activity participation of IECEP-KSA-CRC. Let us hope and pray that this will continue to prosper up to the remaining PPO sports event, the basketball tournament, which will open on June 12, 2015. More power to us!
