DOHA — The Philippines’ quest for the Asian Games gold could come from the very sport where Filipinos are noted for - billiards.


Antonio Gabica loomed as the country’s hope for a gold medal after he defeated Kun Chang Huang of Chinese Taipei, 9-7, in the semifinal of the 8-ball competitions late last night.


However, Satoshi Kawabata of Japan averted what could have been an all-Filipino final in the event when he defeated Filipino Leonardo Andam in the other semifinal, 9-6.
