Filipino Bowlers Advance to Finals in Dubai Tournament
Four Filipino bowlers, Zach Sales Ramin, Marc Dylan Custodio, Stephen Luke Diwa, and Dubai-based Hashim Guinomla, have advanced to the finals of the 10th DIBC-DELTA Open Bowling Tournament at the Dubai International Bowling Centre. This achievement places them among the top 22 qualifiers in a competitive field of 315 bowlers from 29 countries.
Ramin, Custodio, and Diwa are all young talents with impressive accolades. Ramin, an 18-year-old, is the youngest ever to win the Singapore International Open in 2023 and a team member of the 2023 Asian Youth Bowling Championship Gold Medalist Squad. Custodio, a 20-year-old De La Salle University student, is a bronze medalist at the International Bowling Federation Under-21 Championships 2022. Diwa, 19, is also a bronze medalist at the same Under-21 Championships.
Guinomla, a Dubai-based talent, secured the 11th spot to join the Filipino finalists in the tournament. The finals will see them compete for the Open Division titles and a prize pool, with a first prize of AED 50,000 (P760,000).
The tournament has been ongoing from January 18 to February 18, and the finals will take place on the last day of the competition.
