FILIPINO chess player Marie Antoinette San Diego won a gold medal in the girls individual standard event in the just-concluded 4th ASEAN Primary School Sport Olympiad held on Nov. 4-10 at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia.
San Diego also bagged silver medals in the girls individual rapid and individual blitz events.
Another Filipino chess player, Daryl Unix Samantila, who hails from Malabon and a grade six student of Adamson University, also brought home a silver in the boys individual blitz event.
Samantila teamed up with Rhal Sol Cruz Jr. and Stephen Rome Pangilinan to claim the bronze medal in the boys team blitz competition with their 10-point output.
The Philippines also participated in athletics, badminton, football and table tennis but it was only in chess that the country was able to win medals. — Marlon Bernardino
