ICYMI: Bince Rafael Operiano will soon come back to his hometown of Oas, Albay, with great pride as the champion of the recently concluded international chess competition Eastern Asia Youth Championship Standard Rapid Blitz (U-10).
She said they were almost unable to send Bince to Thailand because of lack of funds.
She said the worst experience they encountered was that their son almost had to go on his flight without his 33-year-old father because their budget was not enough for another plane ticket. Ben taught his son how to play chess when he was 5 years old. Playing chess became their father-son bonding and entertainment in a home that does not have a television set and any electronic gadget.
