Bersamina halved the point with International Master Joel Pimentel while Dableo toppled Allan Pason.
In other results, Grandmaster Darwin Laylo subdued Woman Grandmaster Janelle Mae Frayna while International Master John Marvin Miciano drew with International Master Michael Concio Jr.

The six-day event was being bankrolled by PSC chair Butch Ramirez, NCFP president Rep. Butch Pichay, POC president Rep. Bambol Tolentino, Chess Movement Chairman Dr. Ariel Potot, PCSO vice chair and general manager Royina Garma and Atty. Roel Canobas.
Aside from a slot to the AIMAG set in Bangkok and Chonburi, Thailand in 2023, a champion’s purse worth P80,000 plus P50,000 and P25,000 for the second and third placers, respectively, will be up for grabs, according to NCFP CEO GM Jayson Gonzales.-Marlon Bernardino-
