Eleven-year old Paulo Bersamina, the young chess pride of Pasay City, emerged solo champion in the 12-Under Category of the 2009 National Age Group in Kalibo, Aklan after hurdling his 7th and final round to post six points after five wins and two draws.
Bersamina took the full point in the last round against equally talented Lanz Renuel Otero from Iloilo to secure the title.
Otero failed to avenge his initial defeat to Bersamina when they met in the 2006 edition of the age group competition in the 8-Under category. (This blogger wishes Otero good luck in his future games. Don't be discouraged by the loss. You also got the talent. Make it a challenge to do more. I hope to hear from you soon.)
Jerad Docena, another Pasayeño, downed Giovanni Mejia in the crucial round to accumulate 5.5 points that put him in third place.
Proudly, it's 1-3 punch from the two chess prides of Pasay City.
Again, congratulations to Paulo and Jerad!

Thank you for the encouragemnt you wrote for my son, Lanz. Its an honor for him playing against Paulo especially in the final round, in fact I ask Paulo to pose for a picture with Lanz.
Congratulations Paulo!!
Mr. Otero
Mr. MCC,
after the tiebreak, 2nd po si jacob Literatus at hindi si jerad docena.
and please tell your fellow Pasayeño Mr. Docena, hindi po kami mandaraya na mga taga-probinsya. Porke po natalo ang anak nya, sasabihin nila dinaya sila. Sobra ka Mr. Docena, pinagyayabang mo pa na sponsor mo si dating Cong. Pichay, bakit, bodyguard ka ba ni Cong Pichay? Akala mo kung sino ka, bakit, dati ka bang taga-Manila? Nung isang taon ka lang naman lumipat sa Pasay ah! Dati ka ring probinsyano. WAG MONG GAMITIN ANG PANGALAN NI CONG PICHAY SA PANANAKOT AT PAGYAYABANG MO SA AMING MGA TAGA-BISAYA, DAHIL SA SUSUNOD, HINDI KA NA NAMIN PAGPAPASENSYAHAN!
MR. MALIBAY CHESS, SANA MAIPARATING MO ITO KAY MR DOCENA AT SA IBANG MGA TAGA-MAYNILA, NA PAG NATATALO AY SILA DAW AY DINADAYA. MAHIYA NAMAN KAYO!
