The chief architect of the Philippine Bowling Federation’s success will be leaving the organization in good condition.
PBF president Steve Hontiveros has stepped down just a few months after Krizziah Lyn Tabora made a name on the global stage.
“I have done my part in helping fix the [national] team and the organization,” said Hontiveros on Monday.
Hontiveros saw the re-emergence of Filipino bowlers with the help of bowling greats Paeng Nepomuceno, Bong Coo and Biboy Rivera as well as PBF chair Sen. Tito Sotto, secretary general Alex Lim and other stakeholders in the sport.
Tabora won the women’s title in the 53rd QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup held in Hermosillo, Mexico, last November.
Kenneth Chua captured the silver medal in the men’s singles of the 62-country Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, last year with the quartet of Liza Del Rosario, Alexis Sy, Lara Posadas and Tabora also getting a silver in the women’s team of four event.
