Sep 7, 2023

Offering thoughtfully and creatively designed Maui Strong Patches, Wristbands and Decals that donors get FREE with their contributions (Funds will go to the original Maui Strong Fund)

EL CAJON, Calif. - Sept. 6, 2023 - PRLog -- Pacific Emblem Company, a 35-year-old custom manufacturer of Patches / Emblems / Wristbands, is stepping up in a big way to help raise money for the fire victims on Maui. The company has ties and friends on the Hawaiian Islands and wanted to do something to help as much as possible. "My heart hurts for all those on Maui who lost their lives, homes, and businesses and I had to do something to raise desperately needed funds for the residents," said Rich S (aka Dr. Patch) at the helm of Pacific Emblem Company.

"My goal was to set up a special site (www.MauiStrong.help) where people can donate and in doing so, get high-quality Patches, Wristbands, and/or decals in return for their in-kind donations. We created a very special and carefully thought-out design featuring the Hono Hawaiian Sea Turtle (symbolizing wisdom and good luck) and a Whale Tail (symbolizing strength, spirit, and determination) on a gentle Teal colored background. We are proud of our design," says Dr. Patch.

The company's goal is to raise upwards of $50,000+ and donate to the Hawaii Community Foundation (referred to as the Maui Strong Fund), which was approved. And 100% of the money raised (after the cost of goods, employees, shipping which is FREE, etc.) will be donated. The goal is for Dr. Patch to fly over to Maui and hand-deliver a check for that amount and more. Sharing and supporting this initiative will make it happen! Aloha i nā mea a pau

Manila AQ Prime Assets dominates PCAP elims

Manila AQ Prime Assets dominated the elimination round of the Professional Chess Association of the Philippines (PCAP). Under the stewardship of team owner Atty. Aldwin Alegre and team manager Jojo Legaspi, Manila AQ Prime Assets delivered the most dominant elimination round campaign in PCAP history as the team swept the Alpha Division of the Wesley So Cup with a pristine 25-0 record, finishing as the only undefeated team in the league. From their opening-week routs against Mindoro (21-0), Laguna (19-2), and Pasig (17.5-3.5) to high-stakes clashes against title contenders like the San Juan Predators (14-7) and Toledo-Xignex Trojans (17-4), Manila proved virtually untouchable in the tournament. The International Master Ricardo de Guzman-led team capped the elimination round by rallying from a blitz deficit to defeat IIEE-PSME Quezon City Simba's Tribe (14-7) before shutting out OCM Cebu Niños in the rapid round for a 19.5-1.5 victory. With his stellar performance, De Guzman was named Most Valuable Player. The other members of the team are Grandmaster Mark Paragua, IM Eric Labog Jr., National Master Dale Bernardo, Woman International Master Kylen Joy Mordido, IM Ronald Dableo, IM Jan Emmanuel Garcia, Fide Master Christian Mark Daluz and Indian import IM Padmini Rout. "Another proud moment for the Manila AQ Prime Assets squad. You've shown the chess world the true spirit of a fighter. We are all incredibly proud of you," Alegre said. Meanwhile, the members of the Manila team shifts their momentum from online dominance to the international over-the-board arena with the staging of the AQ Prime International Chess Open Championship on Nov. 18-24, 2026, at the Asian Institute of Tourism in Diliman, Quezon City. The AQ Prime tournament, held in partnership with the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) and under the auspices of the Asean Chess Confederation—will welcome local and international masters. The weeklong Fide-rated standard chess tournament features the Master Open (2000-above) and Challenger (1999-below) divisions. The 9-round Swiss System tournament underscores AQ Prime's commitment not only to championship-caliber team play, but also to creating world-class competitive platforms for Filipino chess talents.
