AGUILA Memorial Cup

The Aguila Memorial Cup was held in honor of Coach TEDDY AGUILA who piloted the MERALCO Chess Team to 5 consecutive ESAP championships in the 1990's. He retired many years ago and we just learned that he has passed away in 2006.

Lilet BERSAMINA, father of 2008 10 & Under National Champion Paulo, was the Best Retiree. Justin LIM won the Best High School Player award while Junior SOL CRUZ of LSGH Chess Team won the Best Grade School Player award.
