I woke up this Saturday morning knowing a good news from the MTG Judges community: I received another judge exemplar recognition for this wave #15. I checked on the Judges app website and found two recognition from fellow PH judges. Here below are their recognition messages:

From Judge Felix Capule:
Hi Mark, The Iloilo community is very lucky to have you as their judge, you’ve always updated the players whenever a set is released. Almost like what we normally do during judge meetings but what you’ve been doing is that you’ve been doing it with your local players. Talk about “DEDICATION”. Thank you for your continuous effort and for being generous with your time. “Consistency”, that is something that definitely describes you. You’ve been doing such a great job Mark Ian. Thank You! 

From Judge Dominic Yu Ping Kun:
An L2 judge who has been frequenting the Visayas to judge PPTQs has told me about your efforts to develop the judge program in the small Island of Iloilo. In the past 3 months, you have successfully mentored and prepped 2 other judges for certification to better cater to the increase in Local Game Stores and the booming demand for L1 judges where you are. Not only have you mentored them, but you have helped them transcend geographical barriers and linked them to an L2 judge who can process their certification. Thank you Mark Ian for inspiring people to become judges despite the changes in organized play.
