Bucaling of Dingle town, Iloilo flung the spear to a distance of 33.95-meters to beat the host Mimaropa’s Richelda Pepito (32.09m) and Bicol’s Jancell Candelaria (31.86m).

Playing one of her best games in the tournament, Tan blanked Aklan’s Stephanie Villanueva in the first set of the finals in 16-under and allowed her only two points in the second set to take home the championship. In 18-under, ShaSha Pastrana tried to reverse the outcome and avenge Villanueva’s loss but Tan will simply not permit it as she continued to play like a champion and capture her second title in the Iloilo edition of the tennis tour. |
