BALATASAN FLOATING COTTAGE

Balatasan Floating Cottage

This cottage attracted hundreds of tourists, both local and international.  It lasted for almost two years.  Then, it was destroyed by typhoon.

There is no floating cottage now in Balatasan.

Tourists/Visitors may experience the relaxing atmosphere of Balatasan Cove.

Balatasan Chess Club, which is located near the shore, offers a challenging game of chess.

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.

Logo: design and explanation

          The official logo of BALATASAN CHESS CLUB (BCC) is characterized by simplicity of design and limited use of colors - green, black and white. The green, circular border resembles the green Earth, which BCC wishes to maintain and even to make it greener. Black and white defines chess, dark and light pieces. The white knight, the most symbolic chess piece, is contrasted with the black background. The knight faces the checkered green and white of a typical chess board. January 2, 2010 marks the birth of BCC.

          This logo was designed by Sharmaine J. Perez.
