Col. Andolong became a director and president of PBC through Magallanes Bowling Association (MBA), founded with Vicente Sotto III.

Despite this, a new organization bearing a confusingly similar name, Philippine Bowling Congress (PBCI) Inc., was registered with SEC in January 2009 and assumed the role of PBC without valid authorization.

This confusingly similar corporation never applied for membership and was never officially recognized by any governing body; instead, only the original member, Philippine Bowling Congress, remained affiliated.

The Philippine has produced multi-world champions Paeng Nepomuceno, Lita dela Rosa and Bong Coo, world champions Oliver Ongtawco, Cj Suarrez, Biboy Rivera, Team Trios Gold medalists Liza Del Rosario, Liza Clutario and Cecilia Yap and Olympic Gold Medalist Arianne Cerdeña.

In all, a total of 20 nations competed in the exhibition, which was held on September 18 at the Seoul's Royal Bowling Center.

Nonetheless, Arianne Cerdeña won for the Philippines its first gold medal in the Olympic Games.

Upon the return of past PBC President Ernesto "Toti" Lopa, the Men's team medalled in all five events at the 26th Southeast Asian Games.
