Here's Mikong's post describing the results:

=========

The tournament was a success! Participants came early, we had more than enough Go equipment, and the venue and schedule fit the event nicely. 16 Go players participated in the Swiss tournament format, so we had 4 rounds.

We also had several guests: Mr. Noh, one of our Go teachers was the event's head referee, some Go players who observed instead of participated, and friends who gave their support to the players and helped in organizing the event as well.

The top 3 in the results are:

1st - Michael Galero
2nd - Cherisse Aguilon
3rd - Alvin Filio

Jerry Talon was awarded a 19x19 Go board, for being the highest ranked player who didn't have his own Go board (he was 4th).
