Can I see Efren Reyes play? (self.philippines)

Hey folks, I'm going to be in Manila for the month of August. It's only my second time in the Philippines. I'd love to learn about the city and the country. Also, I'd love to see Efren Reyes play pool. Is there anywhere he regularly plays?

According to this article,

He isn't as great as he used to be due to old age.

I think he still lives up north. Pampanga, I think. Unsure if he still hangs in the local pool halls. Maybe someone local to Pampanga can provide more insight.

Uploaded only yesterday, so this appears to be the most recent news of what he's been up to. Even more recent than his exhibition in Jakarta 5 days ago. That's good news for OP then. Problem is, you're not exactly sure if it's a one time thing or he regularly does it.
