The Philippine Bowling Congress Inc. or more popularly known as Philippine Bowling Congress and PBC was the governing body for tenpin bowling in the Philippines from 1977 to 2016. The Philippine Bowling Federation Inc. PBF replaced it as the appointed member of the International Bowling Federation (IBF), Asian Bowling Federation (ABF), and Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).[1] in 2016.
The POC member organization PBC registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 24, 1975, with a 25-year corporate term and Col. Nereo C. Andolong as its president and representative to the POC. He was elected the second president of the Philippine Olympic Committee in 1977. Col. Andolong became a director and president of PBC through Magallanes Bowling Association (MBA), founded with Vicente Sotto III.[2] [3] [4]
Philippine Bowling Congress SEC registration was officially revoked in 2003 when it allowed its corporate term to expire without complying with law requirements to extend its corporate period of existence stated in the articles of incorporation. However, it continued its usual business as the member association recognized by the governing bodies. Despite this, a new organization bearing a confusingly similar name, Philippine Bowling Congress (PBCI) Inc., was registered with SEC in January 2009 and assumed the role of PBC without valid authorization. This confusingly similar corporation never applied for membership and was never officially recognized by any governing body; instead, only the original member, Philippine Bowling Congress, remained affiliated. POC identified the Officers of PBCI from 2009 to 2016 as that of PBC. Per Philippine law, these are two different entities. Philippine Bowling Congress membership with the POC was also eventually revoked.
In early 2016, after the resignation of the newly elected president and vice president of PBCI, the Philippine Olympic Committee established a caretaker body that will temporarily handle the affairs of Philippine bowling, and POC appointed secretary general Steve Hontiveros who was the last president of the defunct Philippine Bowling Congress Inc.[5]
Ernesto A. Lopa established the Philippine Bowling Federation in 1968 before co-founding the PBC in 1969. He was also Fédération Internationale des Quilleurs Asian Zone vice president from 1973-1976. He was also elected to the FIQ World Presidium in London England from 1975-1977.[6]
The Philippine Bowling Congress, Inc. was registered with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 24, 1975 S.E.C. Reg. No. 63697. Its first official president was Nereo C. Andolong who was also the second president of the Philippine Olympic Committee from 1977-1980.
The Philippine has produced multi-world champions Paeng Nepomuceno, Lita dela Rosa and Bong Coo, world champions Oliver Ongtawco, Cj Suarrez, Biboy Rivera, Team Trios Gold medalists Liza Del Rosario, Liza Clutario and Cecilia Yap and Olympic Gold Medalist Arianne Cerdeña.
Paeng Nepomuceno and Bong Coo were inducted to the International Bowling Hall of Fame in 1993. Lita Dela Rosa was posthumously inducted in 2000. All three were elected to the Philippine Sports Hall of Fame in 2019.
Bowling at the 1988 Summer Olympics was a demonstration sport for the first, and so far only time. In all, a total of 20 nations competed in the exhibition, which was held on September 18 at the Seoul's Royal Bowling Center. Nonetheless, Arianne Cerdeña won for the Philippines its first gold medal in the Olympic Games.[7]
