When Macky was about three years old, his Papa Rollie taught him how to play chess. Macky find the game very interesting and very entertaining at that time before he was hooked into playing basketball. He would beat almost everybody in the house sometimes including his Papa and his Tito Bren. He would oftentimes, bring his chessboard outside the house and invite somebody to play with him in the street.
His father's effort has somehow didn't go to waste since Macky has became a Champion in the school's Chess competition when he was in Grade 4. Everybody in the house was so happy about his achievement especially his father who is so proud of him.

Congrats Macy boy! Thank you once again for making us proud. Keep up the good work! We love you!
good job, macky! i was a chess player champ too back in the days ;) i came from a family that plays chess, and when i was 14, i joined MILO Chess Clinics during one summer. my teachers were a Grand Master candidate and an International Master, and i got to play simul games with those masters :D my father had the chance to play with Eugene Torre in a national tournament once ;) ahhhhh... those were my chess days ^^ but like you, i got sidetracked with a physical sport too (volleyball) :D every once in a while i still play chess, but i know for sure i'm no longer the champ i used to be. lol. so my tip is, keep practicing, or you'll lose it ^^
