The Philippine contingent to the World Youth Chess Championship 2008 in Vietnam narrowly missed a chance to bring home a medal in the conclusion of the event.
Chardine Cheradee Camacho's loss in the final round in the Girls 14 category shut the country's last hope of winning the historic first medal in WYCC.
Still, Camacho emerged as the best Filipino performer out of 18 Filipino participants in WYCC 2008.
Overall, 17 out of 18 members of the Philippine team surpassed their initial tournament seedings -- already an indication of a job well done!
We salute all our young participants who did a lot of sacrifices – particularly missing their families for almost two weeks – for the sake of our country.
Congratulations! We are proud of you!
Here is the FINAL overall performance of RP members (I ranked them according to their final rankings in their respective age categories) :
