Proceeds of the simul will go for the benefit of RP Paralympic chess team and chess workshops from public schools.
From Meralco Chess Club:
GM Bong has agreed to play in this 5th edition of MERALCO Chess Club's fund-raising simuls. This will give opportunity to the RP Paralympics Chess Team (Alexis Elinon, Rudy Canonigo, Rudy Ssarmiento, Francis Ching, Abe Peligro, Melchor and Gigi Bilog) and a few kids from public schools such as Carlo Caranyagan, Gil Ruaya, Renato Cruz, Jenny Espada, Saltorio siblings, and Ramon Magsaysay HS to play with a grandmaster.
Previous winners are:
Alexis of PARA has won in the GM Torre simul and earned draws in the GM Gonzales and GM Paragua simuls.

Bro, napag-sama mo names namin ni spawn2, he he. Alex Gabriel ang name niya.
I-post din natin mamaya sa chessbomb, parang konti pa paying players eh baka di umabot.
ang alam ko limited lang naman yata up to 15 ang participants? if I'm not mistaken
DES, AS YOU WITNESSED (BY THE WAY, THANKS FOR DROPPING BY), THIS WAS A RECORD BREAKING EVENT FOR MERALCO CHESS CLUB WITH ITS MOST NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS AT 28; 4 PARA PLAYERS AND 24 GS AND HS PLAYERS FROM MERALCO CHESS CLUB, DON BOSCO, UGONG CHESS CLUB, AND RAMON MAGSAYSAY.
THANKS ALSO FOR TONY N FOR NO JUST DROPPING BY BUT FOR SPONSORING 3 KIDS. I'M SURE THAT GOD WILL BLESS YOU MORE AND THAT YOU WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF ANYTHING TO SHARE AS HE PROMISED.
DES,
I'M PLANNING TO SPONSOR A SMALL TOURNAMENT IN MAY IN MEMORY OF MY DEAR DEPARTED DAD, THE 4TH SOL CRUZ MEMORIAL CUP. THE FIRST 3 CUPS WERE INTERNAL EVENTS ONLY, JUST FOR MEMBERS OF MERALCO CHESS CLUB. BUT THIS YEAR OF THE TIGER, AND WITH POSSIBLE SUPPORT FROM MY SISTERS ABROAD, WHO HAS GOTTEN INTEREST IN CHESS DUE TO THE BUDDING CAREER OF MY 11 YR OLD SON RHAL, I CAN PROBABLY MAKE IT A LITTLE BIGGER.
I'M THINKING OF HOLDING A SIMUL AND FREE SLOTS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS OR A SMALL 4 OR 6 TEAM 1-DAY TOURNEY OR MAYBE AN INDIVIDUALS. NOTHING FINAL YET EXCEPT MY PLAN AND RESOLVE TO COMMEMORATE MY FATHER.
I HOPE YOU CAN COVER IT AND YOUR IDEAS ARE VERY MUCH WELCOME.
AND MAY WE WIN TONIGHT WITH WESLEY.
GOD BLESS.
