CHESS STATISTICS OF BALATASAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DECEMBER 2009

Last December 14, 2009, roughly three weeks before I launched Balatasan Chess Club (BCC), I went to Balatasan Elementary School and conducted a survey on chess.


I discovered that, out of 279 pupils, only 9 pupils know how to play chess. That is 3.22% of the total population Balatasan Elementary School.


The names of the pupils who know how to play chess are listed below.


Grade VI:


1. Richard Castillo


Grade V:


1. Anjo Herato


2. Christine Joy Libao


3. Jevemar Magsayo


4. Japete Moncawe "b5" (Member of BCC)


5. Jaylord Kim Sarmiento


Grade IV:


1. Joemar Rodriguez "b3" (Member of BCC)


2. Manny Agustin


Grade III: None


Grade II A:


1. Justine Bantugan


Grade II B: None


Grade I A: None


Grade I B: None


 Balatasan Elementary School Population SY: 2009 – 2010






















I am hoping that, through Balatasan Chess Club (BCC), the percentage of chess playing pupils in Balatasan Elementary School would increase.


Balatasan Chess Club (BCC) provides an avenue for promoting chess education in Brgy. Balatasan, Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro.
