“Base sa research ki-nompare yong IQ intelligence nga mga races at nationals, yung Filipino nasa top ang IQ when it comes to performance IQ, pero marami klasing IQ, may verbal, numerical, and performance IQ, pero yong performance IQ, nasa taas tayo, so for me, this is a opportunity for us, to show exist of the government, to show to the people na sa chess dito tayo mag a-advance, dito tayo mag po-prosper and let us make them realized. Let’s play chess not only to win but to learn. Everyday we learn. Hindi natin pwede sabihin na hanggang dito na lang tayo kasi chess is very complicated game. Marami siyang variations. Kahit nga yong nga super grand masters they continue to improve. As much as you want to win, you must also learn. That is the time that we can improve ourselves”, sumala kan Fiscal Fernando Tangalao, Jr., adviser ngan Chairman Emeritus han Borongan Chess Tournament.
