Alex Pagulayan
Alejandro (Alex) Salvador Pagulayan, (born June 25, 1976) is a Filipino Canadian professional pool (pocket billiards) and snooker player. His nicknames are "the Lion" and "the Killer Pixie". This latter nickname was given by none other than the great Cliff "the Grinder" Thorburn, former World and Canadian Snooker champion. Alex has a third, more recent nickname of "Mungo" (a favorite Filipino dish) given to him by Rick McCallum, former Wayne State University Pocket Billiard instructor and friend from the Hall of Fame Billiard room in Warren, Michigan. Alex was born in Cabagan, Isabela, Philippines and was raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 2004, Pagulayan returned to the Philippines, and is a dual citizen of Canada and the Philippines.〔("The Professionals" ), ''Filipinopool.com''. Accessed 2007-08-11〕
He is known for his relaxed demeanor during competition, and is a crowd favorite, well liked because of his humorous interaction with the audience.〔("Pagulayan Accuses BSCP of Getting Back at Him" ) 2007-07, ''Filipinopool.com''. Accessed 2007-08-11〕 His impressions of other pool players are especially entertaining.
==Early days==
Pagulayan's parents emigrated to Canada when he was 13 years old. His father managed a pool hall, so Pagulayan was introduced to the game at an early age. Though he was also attracted to other sports, he thought his physique may have been unsuitable for them. He has said, "I like a lot of sports, but with pool, you don't have to be physically tough." His main training venue was Loma's pool hall.〔("Alex 'The Lion' Pagulayan" ), ''PoolBilliardNews.com''. Accessed 2007-08-11.〕
