Brunswick Bowling Names Exclusive Distributor for the Philippines and New Asia Service Manager

MUSKEGON, Mich., March 12, 2024 – Brunswick Bowling has announced the appointment of Bowling 300 as its exclusive distributor for the Philippines. The company has also hired Eduardo ‘Jojo’ Santiago, Jr., as its service manager for Asia.

“We’re very excited about the future of bowling in the Philippines and are thrilled to have Bowling 300 and Jojo Santiago on the Brunswick team,” said Corey Dykstra, president and CEO of Brunswick Bowling. “Bowling 300 has a long and storied history as a leader in the Philippines’ bowling industry. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to this partnership as we continue to achieve mutual success for our clients. Brunswick customers in Asia needing technical and installation support will be in good hands with Jojo, who has decades of experience as a Brunswick service technician and installer.”

Gina Avecilla, president of Bowling 300, has been a leader in the Philippines bowling industry since 1991, when she began operating multiple pro shops, followed by the founding of a full-service firm (providing construction, design, and training) with Bong Coo, the legendary Filipina bowler.

“We are thrilled to represent Brunswick Bowling in the Philippines as we continue to grow the sport across the country,” said Avecilla. “I look forward to delivering Brunswick’s comprehensive line of business solutions—from Sync® Scoring to Spark® to Boost ST® string pinsetters—to our customers as we continue to build a robust entertainment industry in the country. We look forward to providing bowling centers and master-planned residential developments with exceptional maintenance, installation, and post-sales services.” Avecilla currently serves as a member of the National Sports Association board of directors and secretary general of the Philippine Bowling Federation, Inc.

As a certified Brunswick installer and service technician, Santiago will be available to assist bowling center owners throughout Asia. Santiago has worked in the bowling industry since 1993, first maintaining Brunswick equipment at a bowling center and later as a certified technician in the Philippines and Dubai. Most recently, he worked for Brunswick’s Dubai distributor as a project manager for sales and technical support.

“I look forward to continuing to share my technical skills and knowledge and helping bowling center owners meet their business goals,” said Santiago. “I couldn’t be happier to continue to work with Brunswick Bowling and its industry-leading line of products.”
