Trece Martires City: Ayong S. Maliksi, governor of Cavite,
recognized the efforts of Caviteños Roderick Nava, Vince Medina and
Lovely Medina.
The three chess players delivered the goods for
the country in international competitions.
Nava, who hails from Carmona, emerged as
champion in the Open Category of the 12th Rakan Muda GACC World
Inter-Varsity Chess Championship held at the University of Malaya in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Medina, a native of Barangay Aniban 2, Bacoor
and a member of the Cavite Chess Team, won a gold medal in the Team
Event Standard, two silver medals in Individual Standard and Team
Rapid and a bronze medal in Blitz Team Event during his
participation in the Ninth Asean Age-Group Chess Championships in
Danang, Vietnam.
His sister, Lovelyn, a student at Far Eastern
University, brought home three silver medals from the team events in
the same competition.
Maliksi said these young achievers should be
given due recognition to inspire others who want to succeed in their
fields.
