THE Table Tennis Association of the Philippines will host the GAC Group World Tour 2014 Philippine Open on May 1518 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center.
Table tennis chief Ting Ledesma said the international tournament has attracted more than 180 players from 40 countries all over the world.
"It is really a great pleasure to host an international competition like the World Tour," said Ledesma, a former national player. "We are expecting the world's toughest table tennis players to compete in the four-day competition."
National players Richard Gonzales, Nash Jacolo, Jamaica Sy, Rodel Valle, Ian Lariba, Sendrina Balatbat, Walden Ledesma, Annabelle Commendador, Rommelia Princess Tambo and Stephen Andrew Timson will be up against the foreign entries.
"I would like to thank Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, particularly chairman Roberto Garcia, for letting us
use the venue and facility for free," said Ledesma. "They really wanted to help us developing table tennis."
Interested parties have until April 15 to register. (Manila Times)
