    Why can’t we produce more Torres in the Philippines?  Because our kids are wasting their time playing basketball, tennis, volleyball, SF and Counter-strike.  Because our corporate sponsors are wasting money to advertise in basketball, volleyball, and stupid early evening variety shows.  Because our government sports officials are focusing on basketball and volleyball, and spending taxpayers’ money for their personal travel while our athletes stay at home.

    CHESS is one sport that Filipinos can excel, and have excelled, in and should be funded by the government and schools — not the tall sports like basketball volleyball swimming tennis etc.

    How i wish GM Torre will soon handle NCFP so that it will function normally! 1st,let me consider paying of dues which may cause downfall of Philippine chess.Players are not satisfied due to lacking of datas,records etc that is badly needed in their ELO points! 2nd is there are lots of complain that some tournament organizers are not even giving prices properly to the winner! I don´t know if the people are STILL CAPABLE of doing their job or just putting financial stewardship somewhere else! MR.PRESIDENT,Please give attention to this matters?
