Tidbits - Whatever It is (Canada's Garbage)
Just when I thought that Canada is helping the Philippines, I later realized that the former is the one bullying us.
I admire President Rodrigo Duterte (PDu30) who was very vocal on his pronouncement to bring back the 69 container vans of garbage shipped from Canada to the Philippines in the years 2013 and 2014. Why did the previous administration allow this injustice to our beloved country? PDu30's deadline of May 15, 2019, to ship out these tons of garbage backed to Ottawa was not met by Canada thus severing its ties with us. The wanton disregard by Canada to retrieve these wastes are unacceptable and a direct insult to our sovereignty.
The Philippines was belittled, degraded, and downgraded by Canada and I felt we were betrayed by a country whom I thought from the start is an ally.
By far, this was the most disrespectful thing a country, with educated leaders, had done to us!

Recently, reports revealed that there were places in the country that became dumpsite of other well-developed countries as well. This morning DZBB shared information that these countries are, OMG, Australia, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Is the Philippines the keeper of other nation's shit?

Back to the Game I Love
Whew, after long years of hiatus I was again back to playing the game I so dearly love - CHESS. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to play at the Malabon Chess Club, a place I am so familiar with as I lived in the nearby town Navotas for almost 5 years. I am still active on playing online as I am an Arena International International Master (AIM) recognized by FIDE but felt so rusty over the board.
On my first game, I was paired with a small boy - whom I beat already before. This time he was ready to kill me. The time control was 5 minutes with 3 seconds increment. I was so confident for a while but my complacency faded as I was, little by little, outplayed during the game.
My second game was as awful as the first one, but this time I was winning, however, I failed to convert and didn't see the winning combination.
After the 2nd game, I recomposed myself by taking a short walk and returned to the playing venue just in time for the next game. I successfully won my 3rd to 6th games but again lost my seventh game to the top seed.
I was in trouble of not getting into the top 10 should I lose my next 2 important games - so I needed to be careful. With 4 points out of 7 games, I was paired with a player with 5.5 points (there were 3 players with the same scores). Luckily, I beat my opponent and the other 2 players with 5.5 scores lost too so I am sure that I will be paired against one of them. Truly enough, I was paired with Josso Baldera, the father of the boy who beat me during the first round, remember?
Well, I got my vengeance as I beat the father in the last round, and guess what? All those with 5.5 points were also beaten.
God was so good to me during that day as I also got 2nd to 3rd place position!
