Hello. I am Harcee Sarmiento. I want to write about the history of chess in the Philippines. I really hope you can lend me any materials related to it (in any time period). I notice there are few written accounts of the game in our country. I am trying to put a narrative to it based on the given evidence. Thank you. 

BTW, I am a former student of Commissioner Lino Dizon and we're both from Concepcion, Tarlac. Thanks and God bless
