Another Guinness World Record For Paeng Nepomuceno

Filipino bowler Paeng Nepomuceno received his 3rd certificate from Guiness Book of World Records for having won the most number of bowling tournaments worldwide. His first is Guinness Record Hall of Fame for winning four World Cups in three different decades (70’s, 80’s and 90’s). His second Guinness distinction was in recognition of his feat as the youngest to win a world title at age 19. Information taken here.

It was in the news tonight, multi awarded Paeng Nepomuceno was suprised upon receiving the certificate. My youngest son and I just had finished studying Sibika (Social Studies) about the world class Filipino personalities such as Manny Pacquiao, Lisa Macuja, Lea Salonga, Cecil Licad etc. I was explaining to my son their success on their respective fields. I did told him about Paeng Nepomuceno but I didn’t know that he is Guiness Book of Records awardee, not once but thrice. Wow! I’m really proud to be a Pinoy.
