The ASEAN PARALYMPICS-bound RP Para Team, led by partially blind Rudy Canonigo, won all the team matches in this single round 4-team 7-board fund-raising event for the benefit of our handicapped players.

Brgy Wesley, MERALCO, & youthful La Salle GH won 1 match each with BW landing on 2nd spot with the best games points at 14.5 powered by Pulsar, Rustic Bull, Jet, & Spawn's 2 points a piece.

Canonigo and Francis Ching scored a perfect 3 out of 3 while Abe Peligro and Alexis Elinon tallied 2.5 a piece, Melchor Pizzaro has 1.5 while Rudy Sarmiento and Gigi Bilog contributed 1 pt each.

GMs Eugene Torre and Joey Antonio graced the simple opening ceremony and give inspirational messages to the plaayers.
