Teen bowling sensation Zach Ramin is set to compete in the Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships in Bangkok, Thailand on July 4 to 12.

After making history in the Singapore International Open, where he became the youngest and first Filipino male bowler to win the tournament, the 17-year-old is poised to help the Philippine team emerge on top in the Thailand tiff against 17 nations.

"I am eagerly looking forward to the Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championship. It's a fantastic opportunity to compete against some of the best youth bowlers from different countries. The level of competition will be intense, but I am confident in our team's abilities. We have trained hard, and we are ready to give our best performance and make the Philippines proud,” said Ramin.

The Philippine-born Ramin migrated to Singapore with his family when he was just three years old and started playing bowling at age of nine after playing the sport in their vacation in Japan.

A promising team of four male and four females, the Philippine Youth Bowling Team is expected to be top contenders in the tournament.

Ramin will join hands with Marc Custodio and Stephen Diwa, who emerged as bronze doubles winners in the International Bowling Federation Under-21 Bowling Championships 2021 along with Art Barrientos, who, for his part, has several local open titles to his name.

The female side is equally as impressive and as promising as it features 2019 World Bowling Junior Championship-Girl’s Master Event bronze medalist Norel Nuevo, 2019 Philippine Open Youth Girls Division champion Dale Lazo, along with the added depth of Danielle Escolano and Kassi Yap.

The youth bowlers aim to build a stronger pool for future endeavors by stamping their class in Bangkok under the mentorship of their head coach Jojo Canare and American coach Joe Slowinski.
