CEBU CITY, Philippines — Sugbuanon Bowlers United (SUGBU) elite bowler John Galindo flexed his winning form to clinch the SUGBU Bowling Shootout Tournament title on Sunday, July 30, 2023
Galindo, one of SUGBU’s elite bowlers who regularly competes in various major bowling tilts around the country scored a total of 802 pinfalls among 23 other competitors during their game on Sunday held at the SM Seaside City Cebu Bowling Center.

SUGBU president Edgar Alqueza settled for fourth place with 755 pinfalls, while Geff Buyco landed at fifth place with 749 pinfalls.
