The tournament was a fruitful journey for the players of Philippines.

The best Indonesian woman chess player, WIM Irene Kharisma Sukandar, had the tournament to forget. She only scored half a point.
The only player outside ASEAN, Armenian IM Ashot Nadanian, got his GM norm. Azerbaijan born Nadanian had been living in Singapore over the years.
