Bigger 2nd Warden chessfest brought again cheers to city jail prisoners and their kids



The recently concluded PSupt Ericley Louise D. Lazaro 2nd Warden's Rapid Chess Tournament held at The Annex events center of SM City Davao last April 14 did not only benefitted some of the top chess players in Mindanao but some of the persons deprived of liberty inside the male dormitory of the Davao City Jail in Barangay Maa, Davao City.

Part of the proceeds of the chessfest  supported by Senator Christopher "Bong" Go will go to 10 children of PDL as financial educational assistance.

The chess tournament was also officiated by APM composed of legendary Davaoeno arbiters Jojo Palero, Ely Acas, and Alfred Moulic.


PSupt Ericley Louise D. Lazaro, the jail warden of the male dormitory of the Davao City jail said 10 children of PDLs will receive some financial aid for their schooling.

In an earlier interview Lazaro, a native of Isabela City in Cagayan province revealed the PDLS who made the beautiful wooden trophies for the chessfest will also get compensated for their efforts.


Lazaro said he is very happy and proud with the result of the 2nd edition of his chess tournament since it yielded more participants and graced by some of the top chess players in Mindanao such as Dubai-based chess coach and Davaoeno Oliver Dimakiling who ruled the open division.

Panabo City-based and regular member of the para chess team of the Philippines Henry Lopez also joined the event.


Aglipay 8 Oberio of the Island Garden City of Samal (Igacos), the chess coached who helped IGACOS win four gold medals in the recent Davaraa 2024 also graced the event.

With the success of the chessfest, this early Lazaro said the third edition will be held in August in time for Kadayawan.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
