The Brain Republic - Memory Enhancement and Mind Sports Training

No Jet Lag, Just Passion! ✈️🧠

​...and I'm back!

​Just touched down from the Asia Open Memory Championship in India, but there’s no slowing down when you love what you do! 🇮🇳 ➡️ 🇵🇭

​I didn't have time for jet lag because I was too excited for this one. We just finished facilitating a Memory Enhancement Workshop as a key part of the SSS Team Building Activity.

​We worked with the SSS decision-makers:
🏢 Office of the President
🏢 Office of the Commissioners
🏢 Commission Secretary Group
🏢 Internal Audit Service Group

​How did this happen? Two words: BNI Collaboration.

​Thank you to Nina Idioma Padilla (my Power Team partner!) for bridging the gap. I love how our network allows us to bring specific expertise, like memory training, to the people who need it most.

Thank you as well to my amazing team of Memory Coaches, Amanda Enricoso and Anna Marie Vicente for the great work during the event. And of course, special thanks to my youngest brother, Joven Bonita, for your full support, and for driving us to the event. 😊

The 7th Philippine International Memory Sports Championship has been a resounding success. Held on September 20, 2025, at La Salle Green Hills, the event drew 43 athletes from five countries: India, Mongolia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Australia.

India's Vishvaa Rajakumar took home the coveted title of Overall Open Champion with a score of 6,923.74 points. Mongolia also had a strong presence at the championship. Erdenegerel Ganzorig scored 5,562.90 points, and Bolormaa Ch followed closely with 5492.46 points, claiming 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.

While the top spot went to an international competitor, the Philippine contingent delivered a stellar performance, earning a significant medal haul across various divisions. This success highlights the bright future for memory sports in the country, a sentiment echoed by the Philippines Mind Sports Association (PMSA) President Anne Bernadette “AB” Bonita, who also serve as Philippine Memory Team's National Head Coach.

The event was a showcase of Filipino talent, with athletes excelling in every age category. In the Juniors Division – International Level, Patricia Vnyz Lopez, 15 y.o., led the Philippine team with an impressive medal tally: 2 Golds (Spoken Numbers, Names & Faces), 2 Silvers (Historic Dates, Random Images), and 1 Bronze (Speed Numbers). Fellow junior Jessica Raine Aspera Rellora also contributed with a Bronze in the Names & Faces category.

In the Adults Division, Grandmaster Chloe Andrea Galamgam earned 6 Silver and 4 Bronze medals, reflecting her continued elite performance on the international stage. The Kids Division saw Chelsea Anne Galamgam secure a Bronze in Names & Faces.

Notably, the event marked the debut of students from . Yanga's Colleges Inc., highlighting the growing grassroots support for memory sports in the Philippines. Equally inspiring were the National Level winners, whose strong performances signal a new generation of athletes ready to follow in the footsteps of the country's memory masters. They represent the next wave of Filipino champions.

The championship was organized by the Philippine Mind Sports Association (PMSA), sanctioned by GAMA and AMSA, and supported by The Brain Republic and La Salle Green Hills. It served not only as a platform for competition, but as a critical step in building the next generation of Filipino memory athletes—now preparing for the upcoming world stage in India this November.

Special thanks to GAMA President Andy Fong, Angel Lai, AMSA President Yudi Lesmana, Mongolian Coaches, Baasandorj Battulga & Sengesamdan Ulziikhutag, and TBR Coaches Anna Vicente & Amanda Enricoso, and to all the Participants, Parents, Visitors, Event Team, and all avid-supporters of Memory Sports who made the championship a success.
