sabihin na natin pangalanan ito na pichay fellowship.

kung noon nga nag bid ang pinas na e hold ang karpov fischer match for 5 million dollar e bakit di kaya ng pinas gumastos kung kailangan?

madami tayo mga junior na may potential.

sabihin na natin buenas si wesley nag karoon ng magulang na may maayos na trabaho at nabigyan sya ng tulong sa training, gastos mula mismo sa bulsa ng magulang nya.

malakas ang foundation ni wesley sa chess dahil di nya sa tambayan na tutunan ang basic nito kundi mismo sa prestigeous na chess school.

kaka bisit minsan ang sistema ng gobyerno natin

personal ko na experience, i think year 2002 ng sinabi ng civil service commission na e improve ang sytema ng gobyerno at isa sa mga gawin nila ay ang pag hire ng empleyado na karapatdapat lamang sa gobyerno.

ibig sabihin non mga civil service eligible employeee.

ist time i heard about that exam, kumuha ako agad, pasado ako,i receive a letter from govt of 2 work for me, one from provincial capitol another one sa isang municipality.

i was expectin na bakante ang posisyon na ito.

i go to the mayors office, that poor guy is dead now, ambushed by his political rival.

the mayor talk to me, he told me the one holding the position is there for 11 years now saka may anak na sampu, hehe, i want to laugh,wala nga lang sya eligibility.i stand up and say my goodbye to the mayor.

yong malakas ang loob yong empleyado sa capitolyo, pumunta sa bahay namin at naki usap sa akin wag na mag apply, i said ok.sya kasi may hawak ng trabaho.

yawn, kaylan pa mabago ang sistema sa pinaka mamahal ko na lupa?

The living legend of RP Chess posted 17W-2D-2L in the grueling 4 hour 21-board simul composed of the ff:

Junior Players of MERALCO Chess Club
1 Paulo Bersamina
2 Jefferson Saltorio
3 JC Andan
4 Earl Cabugao
5 Rhal Sol Cruz

RP PARA Team
1 Gigi
2 Abe
3 Melchor
4 Rudy
5 Alexis

Barangay Wesley
1 tedcildor
2 spawn2
3 rusticbull
4 angelofdeath

Tanay Chess Club
1 Jerson
2 Des

MERALCO Chess Club
1 Jay
2 Darryl
3 Ronnie
4 Kim
5 Rolly

For the record, the W's were recorded by Alexis of PARA and Angel of Death of BW while the D's by Jay and Pau of MERALCO.

Each one paid an entry fee of P500, except for the 5 PARA who are the beneficiaries. Thus, a total of P8k was raised, with P2k given to GM for gas allowance which he was actually declining and the P6k shared to the PARA players which they received individually from no other than GM Torre.

As said by GM Torre in his inspirational talk, small deeds such as these not only endears all of us to God but also shows to each of our community that chess players are responsible and caring persons.

And I'd like to add that each one who played and supported this project in one way or another, you all have another invite coming to you and it is coded as MT25.34-36 which reads:

"Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me."

Dear GMs, these PARA players and their families are all of the above; hungry and thirsty not just for the real food but from the fellowship of abled persons like each of us. They are in the prison of their disabilities and are imprisoned to mix it up with their fellow disabled but you visited them and played chess with them.

And their unsaid gratefulness was summed up in one simple single act; Melchor giving to all of us, through me, that small plastic supot containing the 3 gold medals he won in the Asian Paralympic Games.

Congrats for your freshly baked result for the Indoor Games. And THANK YOU for agreeing top share your God-given time and talent for the benefit of our handicapped brothers of the RP Paralympics Chess Team.

I am proposing an October 3 SaturdAY SCHED, 9 AM, at MERALCO ORTIGAS CENTER - LOPEZ Bldg.

This will be the 3rd fund-raising simul for the Para Team. The first was by GM Joey on Aug 1 and the second was by GM Eugene last Sept 5.

Yes, the GM Villamayor has been shelved out for the moment as we lost communication. Busy siguro sa Dep Ed project. Anyway, Lilet Bersamina has convinced GM Jayson to join the fund-raising simuls. And GM Jayson agreed to do the Oct 3 as originally planned, but the Pichay Cup will be played on that date kaya Oct 10 na.

So, list up now and support the RP Para Chess Team. The proceeds will be used to buy chess sets, with the approval of GM Joey, for the blind players; yung narra na may butas at di-tusok ang pieces.

God bless.

opo, 2loy sa sabado ang simul ni gm jayson to raise funds for the personal chess sets of the blind players of the para team. and hopefully, some of the collections we have will be donated to some chess players whose houses were totally flooded by ondoy.

please confrm your participation here.

venue is meralco canteen lopez bldg ortigas ave

time 9am

you are in luck. gm jayson has indeed requested for an 11am start. i will reserve a board for you. how many of you bw gms are coming to play with the gm and donate for our para team?

pwede po bang malaman kung ilan sa bw ang makikisama sa fund-raising simul bukas for the blind players of para team? para maihanda natin ang mga sets para hindi kulangin kung sakali.

The result is 20W-3D-1L. BW's Pulsar won with the Slav while the draws are PARA's Rudy S and Alexis and Joannah Saltorio of Meralco/National U.

GM Jayson, THANK YOU PO NG MARAMING MARAMI for sharing your time and talent with us, lalo na sa mga PARA players. They really want to play year round para daw pagdating ulit ng games next year ay sharp sila. Truly, you have lived out the Parable of the Talents.

GM Jason, meron pang isang invitation for you that I got from a text and it read: "Come to the place prepared for you, for whatever you did to the least of my brothers and sisters, you did it to me."

We raised a total of P10k (4k from BW and 6k from Meralco). For transparency, the BW donors are Nf3em-1k, Sugardom-500, Pulsar-500, Pinoymaster-1k, Spawn2-500, Obientag-500.

A portion of this, P2k at P500 each, will be given to flood victims; wordfun of bw, albert of meralco, rp kiddies karen enriquez (12 under champ) and darryl samantila. P700 was spent for the late lunch of the para players.And P3k was given to GM Jason for a small token/gas allowance. Thus, that's 10k minus P5,700, leaving a balance of 4,300 for the chess sets of PARA. I am coordinating with Nanie, may alam daw siyang nag-ko-convert. The sets will be awarded in our next event in November which as announced yestrday will by a simul by GM Macky PARAGUA.

Thank you for all the participants.

Nf3em is flying back to Japan today.

GM Jason thnx too for the great experience and sorry kasi di ko na-justify yung deviation ko from theory (i.e. dxc4 instead of 0-0) ... maganda sana ang laban had i played Na4 instead of Nxe2 ...

thnx to sir <rjsolcruz> for continously organizing such great events to help our PARA Team and other cause(s) ...

thanks for the efforts and talent you shared with us...we're glad a grandmaster like you... given us a time to play on the board and think like a "grandmaster"...

Kung puede i-request yung sa Nov (w/ Gm Mark) ay di sa first Saturday, kasi may Church duty and may pa-tournament in Bicutan.

Great projects and transparency. I saw
Resty at Megamall yesterday and he was wondering pano niya maipahatid kay wordfunph, I volunteered since napupuntahan ko siya...

Makakaasa ho kayo sa suporta sa party list next year, aba yung iba run eh di directly kilala, eh di dun na tayo sa may ikabubuti ang chess and youth development sa ating bansa.
