CEBU, Philippines - His family name is Calipay, which in English means happiness.
That is exactly the present state of Dante Calipay after he claimed the P50,000 bounty for topping the masters division of the 13th Bowlingplex Tenpin Association (BTA) Sinulog Open last Sunday at the Gaisano Bowlingplex in Brgy. Banilad, this city.

Lagcao pocketed P25,000, Cabusas took home P10,000, while Jumapao and Bolongan got P5,000 and P3,000.
