MANILA, Philippines – Billiards Hall of Famer Francisco Django Bustamante may be at the twilight of his career, but he's far from done.
At 47, Bustamante, a multi-titled cue artist known for his powerful breaks, still has bigger tournaments on his crosshair. He'll take on his tough counterparts from Japan and Taiwan in the Japan 9-Ball Open in Tokyo on March 19.
In this video, taken during the Philippine Sportswriters Association Annual Awards Night in Manila Hotel last Saturday, Bustamante discusses his other upcoming billiards stints, including the 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.
Bustamante, who was named as one of the 2010 Athletes of the Year by the PSA, also encouraged Filipinos to keep supporting the country's billiards players.
