“I will do my very best for flag and country,” said FIDE Master Mark Jay Bacojo, who added that he hopes to earn ELO Standard rating points in the FIDE tournament.
“He’s ready to play. He’s actually doing really well," said Filipino and United States chess master Almario Marlon Quiroz Bernardino Jr., Head of Delegation who is also part of the coaching staff that inludes Woman FIDE Master Shania Mae Mendoza and Ederwin Estavillo.
Bacojo has already earned his first of three IM Norms during the 18th IGB Dato' Arthur Tan Malaysian Open Chess Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last September.
He will need to improve his current ELO Standard rating of 2335 to 2400 as a FIDE requirement for International Master title.
Joining Bacojo are FIDE Master Christian Gian Karlo Arca, National Master Oscar Joseph Cantela, Woman National Master Bonjoure Fille Suyamin, Woman National Master Kaye Lalaine Regidor and Woman National Master Franchesca Largo.
The organizing committee (UNI Chess) also invited Jirah Floraive Cutiyog, Maureiin Lepaopao, Anica Shey Dimatangihan, Mark Gabriel Usman and Charly Jhon Yamson.
The PH chess team campaign was made possible with the support of the NCFP, PSC, POC, DFA, City Of Dasmarinas (Cavite), City of General Trias (Cavite), City of Santa Rosa (Laguna) and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) .-Marlon Bernardino-
