Turqueza Tops MCC Kiddies

Hi guys!

After the 1st GMA Cup, there's not much news to be frantic about, save for the scenes in politics in our country. Here's some headlines

"Gringo sets sights on May polls" I say: "May God guide all of us in choosing our leaders to run the country and give our hard-earned tax deductions"

"Senators willing to abolish pork if GMA gives up discretionary fund" I say: "Tactics 101, as what TCG says, he goes there, I go here etc"

Save for our national pride:

"Home at last for rare Noli, Fili copies" I say : "Nice nice nice!" At least we are slowly funding way and means to acquire what is rightly ours!

And of course, sports, sports, sports and more of the sports...

"Asiad bowlers capable of 5 golds" I say: "JUST DO IT"

"Biggest batch of Doha-bound bets off today" I say: "Good luck! It's a relief to know that slowly but surely the Filipino Mindset of BASKETBALL! BASKETBALL! is fading from our consciousness" Don't get me wrong, I do play ball, but I also believe that there's more to sports than basketball. Direct training funds away from basketball, at least government funds so that other sports will get a fairer share of the Philippine budget. Why not try Chess? Grassroots Chess? BEWARE though, Directing is one thing, allocating is another thing but the key move here is WISE USE OF THE BUDGET. You do not pamper players who are not performing at his best. You provide training to those who deserve it. Players who are peaking or at their best. Not the ones who have had their days. Sorry! Just like anything, anyone would be wise enough to know that the world revolves, it changes so do human skills and abilities. As what the dead Beatles guitarist say "All things must pass".

Anyways, so much for that. Lets have an update about Metropolitan Chess Club Kiddies
