The International Pool Tour (IPT) presents the 3^rd challenge match with Marlon Manalo vs. Rodney Morris. As the second match in the series, the two pool players are representing their home countries, which happen to be the natural habitat of today's leading pool players: The Philippines and The United States of America (respectively). 

Marlon Manalo

Marlon Manalo shows that Francisco Bustamante and Efren Reyes are not the only great pool players who've emerged out of the Philippines. The 28 years old pool player had gained outstanding achievements throughout its relatively short professional career. In 2000, he had already claimed Asian Snooker Championship. Within three years, he had gathered 3 silver medals: one at the 2001 World Games in Akita and two more at the 2004 Asian Game held in Vietnam. Most recently, Manalo has finalized the IPT North American Open.
