GM Wesley So is in world's Top 100

GM Wesley So is soaring high in the July 1, 2009 FIDE Rating List at No.92 with a rating of 2646.

No other Filipino has done that inspirational feat.

His name brings a spring of hope and inspiration to the Filipino youth. Yes, the Filipino can!

No doubt, there’s something extraordinary in Wesley – that is, he can inspire a nation to compete and excel.

If we are to learn a virtue from this Filipino lad, I think it is his strong belief in himself to excel in the path he chose to tread.

He believed in himself. He has done it himself. And he’s there now, among the Top 100 chess players in the world, waving the Philippine flag for the honor and pride of every Filipino.

Mabuhay ka, Wesley!
