The event features the Men and Women's Division. Early list of registered teams include San Beda College, University of the Philippines, University of the East, National University, Bulacan State University, De La Salle-Dasmariñas, Tarlac State University and Ateneo.
Who will be the College Champs for both divisions? Let's wait and see.
Up north, we have The Camma Cup 2007 which is happening on November 10 and 11. Atty_CPA of our Philippine Chess Forum posted the following details:

Francis Panlilio 1937

Victor Brillantes 1875
*ratings are based on NCFP ratings as of July 1, 2007
And lastly, GM Darwin "D-LO" Laylo, the 7th and the last member to be in the elite, Magnificent 7 of Philippine GM's, is busy preparing for the World Cup 2007 happening on November 24.
The 27 year old Pinoy GM will be facing off with the French Prodigy, 24 year old GM Etienne Bacrot of France.
I really hope D-LO is preparing hard for this and he will never go wrong if he goes under the mentoring of Sir Bobby Ang, former NCFP Executive Director and has a column called Chess Piece for The Business World.
This is a golden chance for GM Darwin! Raise high the flag and be proud!
Goodluck!
