The RP-Tagaytay Team composed of GM's Mark Paragua and Joey Antonio, IM's Wesley So and Oliver Dimakiling placed 2nd at the recently held Asian Intercities Dubai Cup. We fell four points short behind the tournament champion Pavlodar but we earned the bragging rights of being the only team to beat PAVLODAR in this event.
For individual awards, IM's Wesley So and Oliver "Dimax" Dimakiling each received Gold Medals for Board's 3 and 4 raking in 7.5 points each out of possible 9 points. GM Antonio received Silver Medal for Board 2.

Also, I'd like to post SCU_grad's announcement at the NCFP Forum:
The Xavier chess team would like to invite all readers of this board to an 18 hour advanced chess clinic to be held at Xavier School starting Apr 9th. All participants should have some tournament experience and both students and adults are welcome. Probably mostly students will attend because it's vacation for them and adults have to work! We're pegging costs at P1500 per head and will run on the mornings of Monday Wednesday and Friday. Instructors are NM Erwin Carag and IA Rolly Yutuc, two excellent chess teachers. We expect to run about two or three hours for about two to three weeks.
Please send me a private message if this is something you or someone you know might be interested in joining. Thanks!
