Jose Parica
Jose Parica (born April 18, 1949 in La Puente, California, USA)〔("2003 Player Profiles: Jose 'Amang' Parica" ), ''AZBilliards.com'', 2003; accessed February 10, 2007〕 is a Filipino professional pool player from Manila, nicknamed "''Amang''" (Tagalog for "uncle") and "the Giant Killer." As a Philippine Hall of Famer, he pioneered the "Filipino invasion" in the United States, especially in the game of nine-ball. Also known as "the King" and "the Legend" in Philippine pool, Parica became the World Player of the Year in 1997. He is the only player to achieve a perfect game of nine ball in a ( to 11) match. He was the only Filipino to win all major final titles against his Filipino counterparts. ==Early years== Jose "Amang" Parica had to pull a stool every time it was his turn to make a shot when he first played billiards at his father’s billiard hall in Blumentritt back in the Philippines. He was seven years old when he first struck a cue ball with a cue that was much longer than he was, on a billiard table that was just as high as he was. Parica literally grew up with a cue in his hands. Parica sharpened his skills in the billiard halls his father owned in Blumentritt and in Sta. Cruz in Manila. Soon, he was beating much older people. He had won all the tournaments that had to be won in the Philippines, but he felt he still did not earn the recognition he felt he deserved. Finally, in 1975, he got his break.
