Happy birthday champ Efren "Magician" Reyes 🐐🎱
🚨 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THE GOAT 🐐 🪄🎂‼️
Today we celebrate the 71st birthday of the one and only Efren “Bata” Reyes — the man who changed billiards forever. From the dusty halls of Pampanga to the bright lights of the world stage, Reyes has inspired generations with his magic, humility, and unmatched brilliance at the table. Truly, the GOAT of cue sports. 🏆🇵🇭
And what better way to honor The Magician than with the return of the Reyes Cup 2025! 🎱✨
📍 Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Manila
🗓 October 16–19, 2025
⚔️ Team Asia vs. Team Rest of the World
After last year’s 11–6 triumph of Asia over Europe, the stakes are higher than ever. The world’s best will gather once again for four days of pure firepower, pride, and passion — all under the banner of Efren Reyes’ name.
🔥 Special Mention: It would be incredible to see a doubles show match featuring young Pinoy talents AJ Manas & Jayvee Sucal against whoever Matchroom deems worthy. A perfect bridge between the legend’s legacy and the sport’s future!
💰 For those curious — Efren Reyes’ estimated net worth today sits at around $2 million. Yet despite the fame and fortune, his humility remains his richest trait.
Happy Birthday, Bata! 🥳 May the Reyes Cup carry your spirit of greatness to new generations.
