Cabangon, Sir Raffy Garcia of Pasig Rotary Club and Hotel Sogo.

Fondly called Tonelle in the chess world is looking to follow the foot step of Janelle Mae Frayna, the country's first and lone Woman Grandmaster.
"Target ko po makuha ang WGM title 2 to 3 years from now," she added.

Racasa, visited Philippine Racing Commission (PHILRACOM) Chairman Aurelio "Reli" De Leon last Monday, Jan. 16 and also paid a courtesy call to Executive Secretary "Tatay" Vic Victoria of Mandaluyong City and to ALC Group of Companies Chairman and CEO D.
