After making history as the youngest and first Filipino male to rule the Singapore Open, teen bowler Zach Ramin wants to keep making the Philippines proud, even as he undergoes mandatory military service next year.
MANILA, Philippines – At 6-foot-1, 17-year-old Zach Ramin may have easily been lured to play the Filipino’s sport of choice – basketball.
“Feels great,” he said. “It’s just a surreal experience, hearing all of the people around me saying I’m the youngest, I’m the first Filipino . It’s just… it’s really crazy to have broken so many records.”An underdog all throughout the competition, Ramin knocked down very formidable opponents. “Before the stepladder, I was preparing myself… Talking to my coach , I was thinking through the plan… [you have to make sure] that you have a plan already, that you don’t have to make such a big move on the fly,” shared Ramin.
“They don’t mind spending hours in the bowling center watching me… or watch me train. So it’s just, they give me all the strength to do really well in this sport and do the best that I can.”Olivia “Bong” Coo, one of the Philippines’ all-time bowling greats, witnessed Ramin’s historic feat in Singapore.
“Whether you are nervous, sad, happy, you should have the exact same routine… it’s the consistency and the ability to deliver.”Ramin aims to sustain his winning momentum. A current member of the Philippine youth team, he will compete in the Asian Youth Championships in Bangkok this July.My mindset is just try my best,” said Ramin. [Aiming] for medals and aiming for a far goal is like, it’s just extra pressure… it won’t help my performance.
