Chezka Centeno (born June 30, 1999)[1] is a Filipina billiards player from Zamboanga City.[2]

Chezka was born to Fausto Albert and Josephine Centeno and is the sixth of seven children. She started playing billiards at five years old and her potential was discovered at age eight when she played in local tournaments in the family's hometown. At the age of 11, she entered the Philippine National Games and finished third. When she was 12, she was invited to the Kremlin Cup in Russia and finished in the top 32. After being recruited into the national team, Chezka participated at the 2014 Asian Junior Championship and won 1st place under the girls' single category.[2][3]

She later won the nine-ball women's single at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, facing her idol and fellow Filipina, Rubilen Amit in the final.[2][4]

In 2016, Centeno participated in the World 8-Ball Championship in China, together with Rubilen Amit and Iris Ranola.[citation needed]
