I found this article at INQ7.net describing the victory:
BROTHERS Marvel and Marko Mendoza bested other tough competitors as they took the top spots in the real-time strategy computer game “Starcraft: Broodwar” during the national grand finals of the World Cybergames 2004 at the Glorietta Activity Center.
Marvel aka autumnwillow is a three-time winner in this computer game category, while brother Marko aka Portia has qualified for this annual global competition for the first time, according to Tjader Regis, Philippine team leader and organizer of the World Cybergames 2004 competition in Manila.
Marvel and Marko took the first and second spots, respectively. Both brothers will be sent to the United States to compete against contenders from other countries this October.

I hope the Philippines has better luck this year. I remember Marvel saying "I was playing like a newbie" back then. » WCG 2003 News
Last year poor Marvel came 6th in group D losing all his matches but the game versus kdk4321_kr, which he won. » Philippines bites the dust
His group back then had the likes of Assem and Pj. Maybe both brothers will be able to give each other support and the encouragement necessary to do better this year.
Anyway I wish them the best of luck! Mabuhay ang Pinoy Gamer!
