Canino, 16, the reigning champion of the Philippine National Women’s Chess Championships, will be tested as she is expected to battle top woodpushers to boost her bid of Woman Grandmaster status.
The Far Eastern University standout will open her European campaign on Aug. 3 up to 10 in Vlissingen, Netherlands where she is scheduled to participate in the HZ University of Applied Sciences Chess Tournament.
She will then go to Germany for the Dortmund Open slated Aug. 10 to 18, followed by the Open Internacional d’escacs Santis-Ciutat de Barcelona on Aug. 23 until Sept. 1.
Canino hopes the tournaments are enough to polish her game in time for her biggest assignment -- the Chess Olympiad -- which unfolds on Sept. 10 to 23 in Budapest, Hungary.
Before that Olympiad, Canino along with her coach and National Chess Federation of the Philippines chief executive officer Jayson Gonzales will join hands with WGM Janelle Mae Frayna and WIM Jan Jodilyn Fronda, who is already competing in Switzerland.
“This is in preparation for November in AIMAG and World Olympiad in September as well as for her to become a WGM,” said Gonzales, whose trip is bankrolled by the Philippine Sports Commission and backed by the NCFP and Philippine Olympic Committee.
The Philippine contingent will return to the country on Sept. 3 then set to leave after a few days with the male woodpushers before they fly to Budapest.

Neriah (Josh Ryan)
Rising singer-songwriter Neriah releases her second single, “Driving Weather,” from a long-awaited sophomore album set to drop this fall.
"Driving Weather" exudes a feel-good retro Cali vibe, blending ethereal harmonies and playful lyrics reminiscent of a summer love. The perfect track to listen to with your car windows rolled down. Listen here: https://symphony.to/neriah/driving-weather
"I wrote this song about the summer I fell in love with this guy in Malibu,” stated Neriah. “He was my summer crush for years, but everything felt more real when we would be driving the PCH with the windows down. Whenever it was nice outside, he called it Driving Weather, and this song brings me back to being young, carefree, sun-kissed, and in love." "Driving Weather” signifies a fresh, vibrant chapter in Neriah's career as she celebrates her newfound independence. She is stepping away from her previous heartbreak ballads and embracing her 'Lover Girl' era.
With a refined, softer look featuring pastel colors, she’s ready to light up your summer playlist with uplifting music. Her upcoming project heralds the dawn of a new, empowered Neriah, reflecting the happiest time of her life.
Following her time opening for Madison Beer’s 'Spinnin Tour' West Coast shows, Neriah kicked off this new chapter by releasing the first single from the album, "First Time".
It is an 80s-inspired synth-pop track that perfectly captures the exhilarating feeling of falling in love and reminiscing about those unforgettable, heart-racing moments.
Stay tuned for more updates on her upcoming album.
The concert was a star-studded affair, with an impressive lineup of guests and performers who added to the magic of the night.
Ara Mina
Thirty years ago, I remember a teenager named Hazel Reyes. She was knocking on my door. The shy newbie wanted to borrow my boots because she was going to audition in an ABS-CBN afternoon program in the 90s entitled “Ang TV,” directed by Johnny Manahan.
A young woman asked me for tips on how to get on a TV show because I was already a part of the program. She never made it to Ang TV because she fainted from anxiety. Fast-forward 30 years, and she is now Ara Mina, an award-winning actress and singer who recently celebrated her 30-year career with a grand concert titled "All of Me" at the Newport Performing Arts Theater on July 11.
With Martin Nievera
The event was momentous, highlighting Ara's remarkable career and contributions to the entertainment industry. No longer does she need my boots. I am thinking of borrowing her emerald green gown although I am sure her cup size won’t fit me. I’m a cup B, and Ara… world cup! Just kidding!
With Sen. Bong Revilla Jr.
The concert was a star-studded affair, with an impressive lineup of guests and performers who added to the magic of the night.

The concert not only served as a celebration of Ara's achievements but also as a testament to her enduring passion for music and performance. It was a night filled with nostalgia, laughter, and heartfelt moments that reminded everyone of the indelible mark Ara has made in the entertainment industry. Her unwavering dedication and love for her craft continue to inspire and command respect.

As the final notes echoed through the theater and the applause filled the air, Ara stood on stage, overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. "All of Me" was not just a concert but a tribute to a remarkable artist who has touched the hearts of many and continues to inspire with her talent and dedication.
In conclusion, Ara's "All of Me" concert was a resounding success, a fitting tribute to her illustrious career, and a night to remember for all fortunate enough to witness her talent shine on stage.
