The pair of Paul James Ouano and Dante Francisco, on the other hand, sealed their own title in men’s F doubles. Jimmy Capin and Jape Catana landed in second place.
Also, Lord B.J. Selgas and Raymund Lee Jaca dominated the men’s level G doubles while Christian Rigodon and Elrino Villarba finished second.
The tandem of Junnel Garcia and Gemma Ozaeta, meanwhile, shook off a first set loss to beat the pair of lawyer Dax and Mimi
