CEBU, Philippines - Jon-Jon Adlawan swiftly made an impact in his return to the 2012 MS Motosuit Motocross Series after claiming two championship titles in the six leg billed as the “2nd Mayor Butch Sepulveda Cup” over the weekend in the northern Cebu town of Borbon.

Like Adlawan, Salmer Longakit also scored a twinkill via the local enduro and beginners open production.

Longakit defeated Ray Quirol for the top spot in the local enduro as JC Obligado landed third. Jogie Basco and Michael Tapic finished behind Longakit in the beginners open production.

Tapic though did not go home empty-handed as he bagged the novice crown. Basco and Martin Nuñez occupied the next two spots.

On the other hand, BJ Pepito came up with a 1-2 finish in the two categories he joined in. He came out the fastest rider in the mini 65cc division, but finished runner-up to PJ Cuesta in the mini 85cc class won by JP Cuesta.
