Filipinim Chess Tournament in Israel

"The Chess Tournament is part of the Embassy’s annual sports program with two-pronged objectives. The program aims to help overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) relieve their stress and pressures brought by the daily demands of work and the physical separation from loved ones in the Philippines. It also strengthens the camaraderie and friendship between the personnel of the Embassy and the Filipino community in Israel."
