The Filipino Pool Table

4/3/2015

1 Comment

 
At Casa Minerva, we have the local version of the billiard table.  It is basically a wooden square table that rotates on its base (so that the players don't have to move around the table) and uses flat chips instead of balls. Talcum powder is placed on the surface of the table to make it slippery so that the chips can glide smoothly. This pool table may be simple but definitely ingenious, unique, and proudly Filipino-made.

As part of our endeavor to promote Filipino culture, we added this Pinoy-style pool table which our guests can enjoy playing (for free).

    The Author

    I am Minerva and I welcome you to my home. I believe that part of being a good host is to share a bit of myself to my guests.  I will not be able to do this personally so I set up this blog page.  Here, I can tell you stories and news about my house, keep you informed about upcoming events at my place, and maybe even share some of my personal adventures with you.  So sit back, relax, and let me entertain you.
