I received a letter from one of our readers. The sender did not write his/her name and used only an email ad to be identified. I would like to assure everyone, including the letter sender, that PCC is open to to receive and post all chess announcements and activities. This is one of the main reason why PCC was put up! Curiously, I was adressed to as "MANG KIKO" which in Philippine (Tagalog) language connotes seniority in age. Somehow I felt so old suddenly... hehehehehe!
SO here it is...
Hello Mang Kiko,
I can't seem to find a topic where I can properly introduce our small chess club to you, so please excuse me for using this topic; being the latest topic, it will surely catch your attention.
We have a very small chess club in our company and we name it MERALCO Chess Club, which is based on our company's HQ in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
The officers of the club are Manny Benitez, Jr (the son of Mang Manny of QC Chess Plaza), Darryl Mata, Romy Aguilar, Lilet Bersamina & Rolly Sol Cruz.
Pero kahit maraming empleyado ang MERALCO, konti din lang naman ang mahilig sa chess; around 12 are active in our one-night matches.
However, we hold a chess clinic for children of our co-employees and our top stude is Paulo Bersamina. We have around 15 students in our fold training every other Saturday for about 8 months now.
We also have NM Gerry Cabellon who trains us with simul matches every once in a while.
We hope we can teach more to our students by joining the chess activities posted here.
The column is still there, but the website, which was recently located to an Indonesian server (you will notice the address is now id.indochess.com although www.infochess.com is still working) is so fantastically, horribly slow. I spoke with the webmaster, Kristianus Liem, and he says he is looking for a solution and if all else fails he will bring the host back to the US.

I can email the columns directly to you if you don't mind receiving a word file.
