He works as a security personnel to many places in Palau. He is trying his focus on chess this time. 2003 champion Edgardo Enarsao honed his chess skills while on duty at nighttime as security guard.
ANOTHER BANGLADESH NATIONAL
TO JOIN 2009-2010 PNCC
Currently, there are 3 Bangladesh nationals competing in
the 2009-2010 Palau National Chess Championship being held every Sunday at D.
J. Cruz General Merchandise premises.
They
are Mohammad Manik Hossain, Masum Billah and Hassan Mamud. It might increase
with the addition of Akram Hossain (no relation to Manik) in the resumption of
play on Oct. 11 at the venue being hosted by its owner-manager Eugenio
Pastrana.
Akram
will replace Tutii Joe Chilton and will play his compatriot Manik on Sunday,
Oct. 18 at the same venue. His 2nd game is scheduled against anybody
who played the least games. Probably Geaury Ken Pastrana, the youngest son of
Eugenio.
Chess
is booming at Palau Royal Resort as the Paquito ‘Pax’ Suringa Cup Rapid Chess
Tournament is inciting less-experienced chess players to join. There will be 2
Divisions –Class A that will be composed of 8 players that will include invited
ones outside of PRR.
The
Class B will have at least 10 players and with the possibility of having a
women’s division, it will be interesting to know or discover chess talents at
PRR alone.
The
Pax Cup will start on Oct. 24 at Dormitory 1 of PRR. The time control is 30
minutes for each player to finish the game without increment. The registration
fee is $5.00 and the collected fee will become the cash prize for the top 3
finishers in each division.
It
is exclusive only to employees of PRR but in the Class A division, the invited
players will pooled in that division. The prospective invited players are Masum
Billah, Andres ‘Aying’ Mestizo II, Koror State Legal Counsel American Craig
Dittrich and Joel Flor.
The
Collection of Registration Fees and Donations from staff of Palau Royal Resort
that were collected by Lanie Santos were as follows:

(1242) MUSIC AND ME (May 26, 2016) WRONG SEND BY A PALAUAN GUY
The Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC) issues Airtime cards of different denominations for easy and cheap access to internet and long distance call.
WRONG SEND BY A PALAUAN GUY
On Sept. 23, 2015, while inside my room with 3 other co-employees of Palau Royal Resort, I received a $4.00 "pasa load" or passed internet load from someone I don't know.
It becomes convenient now having this system that you can give a member of your family or friends this amount (from $1.00 - whatever amount you still have on your load.
You just dial *670*(the local number like mine 778-5392)*the amount in 100 for $1.00 and so on and finally, press the # and send. *670*7785392*100# then send and presto, you have given your family member or friend internet load.
After giving me $4.00 load, a Palauan guy called me and speak to me in Palauan language. I said to him, "Sorry, I don't speak Palauan."
What surprise me is he keeps on talking in Palauan and his last words are "f... you".
I think he's very sure that he gave the load to someone he knows. And very frustrated that he sent it to the wrong person, that's why he has said those words.
Minutes later, he text me with this "PLS CAN U SEND BCK MY AIRTIME WRNG SEND"
I refer this incident to my room mate Allan Malonzo, whom I took a photo of him while having his birthday cake at PRR Lounge...
Allan's reply is not to send back the $4.00 because he's the one who makes the mistake and he uttered bad words to me.
But it's not my way of life to avenge what he has done to me. I returned the $4.00 after 31 minutes because I have to look at the "code" that my wife has given me on how to pass load.
He said a little thank you word -- "thanks."
His number is +680 778 3302
I mentioned this incident also to Ella Asuncion, the secretary of PRR GM Masayuki Kawaguchi and she has the same intention to do as Allan's.
Ella Asuncion, 7th
from left, GM Kawaguchi, left, secretary, celebrated her birthday on July 20th
with Palau Royal Resort staff. Two weeks ago, Ella showed interest to be with
Palau Chess Team in the 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia. Likewise,
Elizalde Madrinan, Japanese Chef, is also targeting a slot at the Open section of
2018 WCO. GOOD LUCK and GANBATTE MASU!

WHATEVER DIFFERENT PERSONS OPINIONS ARE, I HAVE TO DO THE RIGHT THING -- THAT MONEY ISN'T MINE. IT'S NOT A HARD THING TO DO TO UNDERSTAND SOME BAD ACTIONS FROM ANYBODY ESPECIALLY OLDER PEOPLE LIKE HIM.
I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT I'M A 4TH WATCHERS AND WE LEAD A GOOD LIFE, STAY AWAY FROM SIN AND RECOGNIZED GOD'S MASTERPIECES -- CREATION AND SALVATION.
I WILL WRITE A SONG ABOUT THESE GOD'S MASTERPIECES.
