P5 million

The NCFP czar announced that the Philippine government allots P5 million to our chess development programs.

Vietnam, on the other hand, spends an amount equivalent to P150 million for its own chess agenda – according to him, too.

If you would look at the seedings in Dresden Olympiad, the Philippines is seeded No.38 and Vietnam, No.37.

I’m not sure if it’s the first time that Vietnam surpassed the Philippines in Olympiad seedings.

Hmmmnn . . . time to think and act about it.
