Nov-22-13    rjsolcruz: GM Oliver Barbosa has volunteered to do a simul at Meralco to help raise funds for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda. His very words were "para sa mga kababayan natin."

Jan-05-14    pinoymaster77: After 7 rounds in Gurgaon GM event, GMs Barbosa and Gomez both have 5.5 pts. GM Oli was among the leaders and had 5.5/6 before a rd7 loss to IM Prasanna.
