"Shalin started hot with a 236 game which left me 40 pins behind immediately but I recovered with 5 strikes in a row in the second game and actually took the lead of 10 pins on the sixth frame but a washout and a split on the seventh and eight frames spelled the difference. It wasn’t really for me and besides Shalin played extremely well and deserved to win. I am satisfied with my performance," paglalarawan ni Paeng sa kanyang semifinal match kontra Zulkifli.
"Previously whenever Paeng placed third or below, I privately felt the loss, but this time, making it to the top three was a win for Paeng considering this is his first outing in an international competition after a 2-year layoff following his wrist surgery," dagdag naman ng ama at coach ni Paeng na si Angel.
Isinama ng tournament organizers ang 5 babae sa field na mayroong format na 2-game matches.
