The first name on the Philippines Open Trophy β and what a name it is. πππππ πππππππ ππππππππ π
A champion who doesnβt just play the game β he lives it. Alcaide embodies everything the World Nineball Tour (WNT) stands for: passion, precision, humility, and respect for the sportβs soul.
But tonight in Manila, this victory was about something deeper.
A moment frozen in time comes rushing back β that iconic 2012 clip of a young David Alcaide standing beside the GOAT, Efren βBataβ Reyes π΅π, holding his cup of coffee while the Magician performed one of his trademark impossible shots with effortless grace. βπ±
Fast forward to 2025, and the same David Alcaide lifts the Philippines Open Trophy, in the very land that once inspired him. The circle is complete. From admiration to achievement β from student to symbol.
He didnβt just win a title. He won the hearts of millions β especially the Filipino people who saw in him the spirit of the game they love most. β€οΈ
