Good seed

Good seed bears good fruit. It’s really heartwarming to note that the hardships and the cause-oriented goals we have been laboring for spark good acts from others.

Just recently, two kind souls donated a chess set each to the Malibay Chess Club. One more pledged to donate another set very soon.

Another individual, upon knowing what transpired during the 1st Malibay Chess Chess Club Mini-Chess Tournament, committed to share a considerable amount of cash prize for the next tournament.

It’s like magic, or let me say, there was some kind of a divine intervention.

Figure this out: we were just supposed to hold our mini-chess tournament in one corner of the Malibay gym. But perhaps the gym officials saw the perseverance from our club members during the tournament preparation, we were allowed to hold the event at the center stage! And to emphasize the magical aura, we were even provided with lights!

Who would believe that we were able to stage the event without spending even a single centavo?

The venue and lights, chess sets and chess clocks, tables and chairs, trophies – they were all for free!

The message is clear: we should plant good seeds if we wish to harvest good fruits.

Optimism is up in the air. The future looks bright. Let’s spread the virus of good deeds.

Sana sasali yung anak ko nung tourney nyo, si Paulo Bersamina, kaya lang nakalagay for Malibay residents only. Dito kami sa may Cartimar, Pasay din. Please post your future tourneys, sana open to Pasay residents.
Good luck!

Hello Mr. Bersamina,

Thanks for the comment. Our first mini-tournament was just a test-run. Kumbaga, nangangapa pa kami as a group when it comes to staging a tournament. But the feeback from a lot of individuals was great, that's why we are planning to stage another tournament very soon. This time, we will invite more players, pero para lang muna sa mga taga-Pasay. Sana makasali ang anak nyong si Paulo, it would certainly be our honor. Sir, can I get your CP number or email address para madali kitang ma-contact next time? And also, perhaps, we can work together as volunteers to promote chess development in Pasay? Thank you po!
