MANILA, Philippines ? Filipino cue master Efren "Bata" Reyes and Victor Arpilleda will rekindle their rivalry as the two pool masters collide in the Mayor Boyet Ynares 10-ball billiards championship on Saturday, December 28, 2013 at the Binangonan Recreation and Conference Center in Binangonan, Rizal.
"It?s nice to be playing again with Efren," said Arpilleda, a former Southeast Asian Games gold medallist.
"I feel honored to be invited to play against Efren, the world's greatest pool player ever and I promise to play my best," added Arpilleda.
