Two other Cebuanos, Odong Pamatian and Gil Arco, finished third.

The beginner’s division saw Elmer Bantugan finish on top after defeating Renan Fernandez as Arvin and Archie Bascug shared the third spot.

In the women’s division, Emee Sheila Pelona was the champion while Amy Boyboy and Jojie Rose Salud followed on second and third in the event, which gave away a total of P40 thousand in cash prizes aside from trophies. – THE FREEMAN
