Chess Olympiad 2008 round 3: Philippines defeats Monaco

Whether there is something wrong with the scoring, covering, reporting or there is something wrong with live game transmitting I say we can all finally heave a sigh of relief because the Philippines beats Monaco 2.5 - 1.5 contrary to earlier reports that Philippines was held to a tie by the lowly team from Monaco 2.0 - 2.0. Even chessdom who are doing a live coverage claimed (or surprised) that Philippines and Monaco fought to a draw. chessdom writes:

"Believe it or not, Monaco holds the Philippines! They surely were missing Wesley So.

GM Efimov Igor 2442 - GM Villamayor Buenaventura 2468 1 : 0
FM Van Hoolandt Patrick 2231 - GM Gonzales Jayson 2469 0 : 1
Krulich Roman 2239 - IM Gomez John Paul 2519 1 : 0
Gentilleau Jean-Philippe 2158 - GM Laylo Darwin 2507 0 : 1"

But when I go to Chess-Results website to confirm, here's what Chess-Results published on their website, showing the victorious Filipino chessers against Monaco. IM John Paul Gomez winning his game and not the other way round. No, we are not missing Wesley So. This guys can handle them.
