The Billiard Sports Confederation of the Philippines (BSCP), previously known as the Billiards and Snookers Congress of the Philippines, is the national governing body for cue sports in the Philippines. [1] [2]

Contents

History

The Billiards and Snookers Congress of the Philippines (BSCP) was established in 1987 following the inclusion of billiards for the 1987 SEA Games in Jakarta. Arturo Ilagan was elected as the BSCP's first president. [3] [4]

Function

The BSCP sends billiard players in international competitions to represent the Philippines such as the SEA Games and Asian Games. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Sanctions

In 2016, The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) took over the leadership of BSCP due to the board's failure to have an election of their new officials. POC legal counsel Attorney Ramon Malinao will serve as the interim president of the federation until the issues are resolved. [8]

The sports body was suspended again on March 10, 2025 due to multiple violations including the non-conduct of a general election, with the POC tasked to take over again for three months. [9]
