FIDE titles


This blogger noticed the absence of titles that are supposed to be attached to the names of some of our local players in the FIDE-released ratings last April 1.

Haridas Pascua (2359) and Kim Steven Yap (2419) are still untitled based on the said ratings list. Isn't Yap already an IM? How about Pascua?

Also, the already hailed 11th grandmaster of the Philippines, GM(?) Joseph Sanchez (2483) is titled only as "m" or International Master(?).

Can somebody please provide the reasons for all of these? Thanks!
