What a month it has been! The “Learn to Bowl with Bong Coo” grassroots program recently culminated in a thrilling tournament at SM Game Park Mall of Asia (MOA) on June 1, successfully wrapping up a fun-filled May of learning and family bonding. This unique initiative empowers aspiring bowlers aged 7 to 14 with invaluable training from bowling legend Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Commissioner Bong Coo and National Team Coaches from the Philippine Bowling Federation (PBF).

Arabit siblings’ golden win
The final tournament showcased impressive performances from all the young participants, but it was the sibling duo, Eleana and Eian Arabit, who stole the spotlight, emerging as the well-deserved champions.
Parents Emil and Liza Arabit shared that bowling began as a cherished hobby during their early years as a couple. “We used to bowl together for fun, and when the kids were old enough, we brought them along,” Emil fondly recounted. “Now it’s something we all enjoy as a family.”
The Arabit siblings’ win is more than just a triumph on the lanes; it beautifully reflects the core values that the MILO Learn to Bowl with Bong Coo program passionately instills: discipline, sportsmanship, and the importance of an active lifestyle.
