Filipino billiards sensation Albert James “AJ” Manas is on fire!
The 22-year-old cue star barged into the Top 8 of the WWW International Open, sending a strong message that he’s ready to take on the world stage.
Manas put on a show in Indonesia, displaying poise and precision that stunned both fans and foes. The breakthrough win is a massive confidence booster as he gears up for a grueling month-long campaign, highlighted by the 2025 Predator WPA Men’s 10-Ball World Championship set on September 17–28 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The WWW International Open is just the first of four high-stakes battles for AJ. After Jakarta, he heads to Vietnam for the World 10-Ball Championship, followed by the Peri Open and the Hanoi Open. It’s a packed schedule — but if his form is any indication, the young Filipino is ready for war.
“This is only the beginning,” Manas declared, his sights firmly locked on the bigger prize.
Fans can catch him back at the table today at 2 P.M. (PH Time) as he continues his run, bringing with him the grit, fire, and pride of Philippine billiards.
