Efren "Bata" Reyes the greatest and the most written-about billiard player in history is now setting his sights in books.
For three decades since 1978 he has occupied the center stage of premiere billiard competition. His victories and losses are witness by some of our fellow kababayan. But what makes Bata very special is that the way he treat losses.
He is a very admirable loser, meekly smiliing and shaking his head and saying " Talagang ganyan. Hindi palaging panalo (It’s a fact, you can’t win them all).”
Hailed as one of the Asian Heroes in the 60th anniversary issue of Time Asia (Nov. 13, 2006). On that issue, Bata is joined by former President Corazon C. Aquino, and late Hong Kong martial arts sensation Bruce Lee.
Indeed, Bata gain the respect of everyone, and having a piece of this book i my way of saying to bata " Salamat! " .
