Being humble and down to earth, the best advice for anyone! Yet we can see what a great champion and competitor he is in his last statement when he said he wants everyone to be better so he has more to play against!
The legend of Efren Reyes will never die - he will be remembered and respected = the man who kept humble, generous in assessing others and sharing his wisdom about life and competition, the unschooled natural genius at angles and how to use them for his game, the champion who disciplined himself to keep his cool, his hands steady, and stay concentrated, the player who can visualize what can be done - the Man, the pool Magician!
the Tagalog word harang in billiards means to hustle not block as translated in your captions. Hustle as in Hustler, pool Hustler, to not show your opponent your true skill level so you can get as much of his money.
wow, what a living legend he is!! There are some players in every sport who represents it. There will be new players who will breaks his records but when someone talk about pool/billiards they will mention Great Efren 'Bata' Reyes..
There will never, never, never be another Efren "Bata" The Magician Reyes. I think, No one can surpass or equal his achievements in billiard pool history, a champion of over 100 tournaments from 1980s to 2023, Amazing! still humble and keeps playing in local provinces in the Philippines, continue to inspire us and young pool players. God Bless you Efren!
The Olympics denied the Philippines a gold medal. It could have changed the lives of these players especially nowadays that medalists are given so much rewards both financially and in kind
Nong 13 years old ako nandito na ako sa toronto canada. Mahilig pa naman ako manood ng sports. First time kong makakakita ng pilipino nasa tv. At itoy nasa sports centre channell 22 sa Rogers. Tuwang tuwa ako nakakita ako ng pilipino sa sports at ito ay si efren. Tapos si alex pangalinan nakabarkada ko din nong araw. Naglalaro sialex sa dufferin billiards. Napakabilis ng panahon
Bigyan ng Statue si Efren, deserve nya yan. The GOAT of ASIA. Kung gusto mo magpromote ng billiard mapa anong bansa sa ASIA, imbitado nila si Efren kasi sya ang mukha ng Billiard. Yan ang impact ni Efren pagdating sa billiard kaya sya ginawang Ambassador.
18:47 Grand Pa Efren we now have 3 golds in Olympics it was suppose to be 4 if Mansueto "Onyok" Velasco was not cheated in the final in his weight class back in the mid 90's. 2 Golds in Gymnastics won by Carlos Yulo recently this Paris Olympics 2024 and 1 in Weight Lifting won by Heidelyn Diaz back in 2020! Saddly we was cheated again in boxing in the semi-finals that one of our women, the judges wrongly scored again favouring the French opponent to win because it was held in France. She could have gotten in the Finals if the judges just scored it correctly because our Filipina Boxer scored a knock down and that should have been her ticket cruising to the finals in boxing possibly the Philippines to win 4 golds in the Olympics.
We all know Efren can’t see. But his backers want him to play. When Efren wears glasses, it means he wants to be able to quit then- it will be time. He wanted to quit long ago- but he gives back, gets live & $.
sabi nga ni BATA,from 1991-1995 play test para sa Olympic....sila ang defending champion...kaya inabandona na ang usaping Billiards sa Olympics...both EU and US agreed they have no chance...team compose of Dodong Andan,Boy Samson Luat,Efren Bata Reyes,Django Bustamante and Jose Amang Parica
Kasalanan nyo pala mang Efren kung bakit wala sa olympic ang bilyar. Sana pala nagpatalo na lang kayo sa mga test games tapos sa opympics ninyo dinurog yung mga kalaban nyo. Mali pala ang diskarte nyo. Kung meron kayong dapat na pinagsisisihan, ito na yun. Dapat nagpatalo na lang muna kayo. (Hehehe joke lang)
"Nang haharang" or "harang" means hustling in English. Usually it means preying on "lower-class" players by intentionally playing badly at first and eventually playing seriously once the stakes are high.

Napakahumble ni GOAT Efren Bata Reyes Wala akong napanood na laban niya na nagyabang kahit kunti manlang. Pinapasaya niyapa manonood.
Saka hindi sya nagbubuhat ng sariling banko nya sa mga interview nya..
I played him in Houston Texas in 1993. Best of 5 in 9 ball. I obviously lost. Also played Rodolfo Luat. Another loss. Enjoyed it though!
Being humble and down to earth, the best advice for anyone! Yet we can see what a great champion and competitor he is in his last statement when he said he wants everyone to be better so he has more to play against!
Efren will be 70 years young on August 26, 2024. Happy birthday to a living legend. You have given so much pleasure to us mere mortals. ❤❤

Can't get enough of efren videos
Blocking should be translated to hustling. More please!
The word “harang” is a billiard’s term in the Philippines when hustling. Don’t take the word too literal.
Efren Bata Reyes the Humble & Best Player. Good Health & God bless.😊🎉

Si pagulayan yang sinasabi mo yata brod. Si alex pangalinan baka pamangkin yan ni kiko yung asawa ni sharon cuneta hahaha

efren is a tactician.it is easy to pocket the ball but the next shot is always the problem until you clean up the table
@4:38.."Nanghaharang" literally means "hustling" people not blocking..
Thank you for a great video Efren and wish you many good years!

Done subscribe idol
if pool was "one piece"...he is garp
ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSIC
True
Many of the good players of today copied the blueprint from Efren.
So basically, he is the 1st smurf in a tournament.😅
Kasalanan nyo pala mang Efren kung bakit wala sa olympic ang bilyar.
Sana pala nagpatalo na lang kayo sa mga test games tapos sa opympics ninyo dinurog yung mga kalaban nyo. Mali pala ang diskarte nyo.
Kung meron kayong dapat na pinagsisisihan, ito na yun. Dapat nagpatalo na lang muna kayo. (Hehehe joke lang)
aj manas na banggit ni GOAT hnd JV sucal hahaha ano ano
"Nang haharang" or "harang" means hustling in English. Usually it means preying on "lower-class" players by intentionally playing badly at first and eventually playing seriously once the stakes are high.
mag research ka muna totoy
Hustling yun bossing. Iba ang sharking. Sharking is yung nang iilang nang kalaban para sumablay.
