EDZA sa Café Adriatico

Congressman Ed Zialcita of Paranque attended his EDZA sa Café Adriatico P12,000 Classified Draw Doubles last March 25, 2007. Congressman Zialcita is a contemporary of NDFP President Tito Soncuya during their university days in UP Diliman. In their conversations, Congressman Zialicta mentioned that he supports darts through his annual tournaments primarily due to the potential of Filipino darters to compete and win international tournaments. According to Congressman Zialcita, “Darts is one sport where height is not a factor and where Filipinos can excel.”

Makati City Darts Association (MCDA) Chairman Bert Pineda drew Albert de Guzman of Parañaque City as partner and beat the tandem of Ricky Oliveros of Makati City and Gil Navera of Manila in the tournament sponsored by Congressman Zialcita and organized by the Unified Darters of Alabang - Las Piñas - Cavite (UDALC).

Meanwhile, Amber's Best player Romy Aguila of Makati City and Angalo Circuit Dart Club (ACDC) President Edward Pascual of Manila place third in the tournament also supported by Prince Maya Travel and Tours and the National Dart Foundation of the Philippines (NDFP).

Come election time we need to support all elective officials who have given support and are continuing to support the propagation of darts. In the provinces, the pillar of support and sponsorship for darts comes from the local government budgets and we need to support the advocacy of darts in local government units through our support to those who support darts.
