“We’re doing this to promote chess in the grassroots level,” said GM Antonio, one of student of GM Balinas.
"We would like to thank by Dr. Jose "Joe" Carreon Balinas, Engr. Antonio "Tony" Carreon Balinas, Governor Roel Ragay Degamo and Dr. Ariel B. Potot of Barkadahan Para sa Bansa Party List for supporting this chess event," added GM Antonio.
