The Philippine Bowling Congress Inc. or more popularly known as Philippine Bowling Congress and PBC was the governing body for tenpin bowling in the Philippines from 1977 to 2016. The Philippine Bowling Federation Inc. PBF replaced it as the appointed member of the International Bowling Federation (IBF), Asian Bowling Federation (ABF), and Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). in 2016.

History The POC member organization PBC registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 24, 1975, with a 25-year corporate term and Col. Nereo C. Andolong as its president and representative to the POC. He was elected the second president of the Philippine Olympic Committee in 1977. Col. Andolong became a director and president of PBC through Magallanes Bowling Association (MBA), founded with Vicente Sotto III.

Philippine Bowling Congress SEC registration was officially revoked in 2003 when it allowed its corporate term to expire without complying with law requirements to extend its corporate period of existence stated in the articles of incorporation. However, it continued its usual business as the member association recognized by the governing bodies. 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. POC identified the Officers of PBCI from 2009 to 2016 as that of PBC. Per Philippine law, these are two different entities. Philippine Bowling Congress membership with the POC was also eventually revoked.

In early 2016, after the resignation of the newly elected president and vice president of PBCI, the Philippine Olympic Committee established a caretaker body that will temporarily handle the affairs of Philippine bowling, and POC appointed secretary general Steve Hontiveros who was the last president of the defunct Philippine Bowling Congress Inc.
