One Cebuano left in nat’l. netfest
By Edmundo T. Maxilom
OF THE five Cebuano players in the 1st Alibor National Tennis Championship Tour in Manila, only one is left to vie for the championship.
Ten-year-old Bernardine “Niño” Siso saved the day for the Cebuanos when he reasserted his dominance in his division after the RP 10-Under No.1 player from the University of San Carlos (USC) advanced to the semifinal round of the 10-Under Unisex division.
The Alibor Tennis Equipment-supported Siso, who is also the RP No.3 in the Boys 12-Under division, proved too much for Manila’s Carl Cordero, 6-0, 6-0, in the quarterfinals. He will next face Alberto Villamor of Manila.
While in the 12-Under division, Siso will try his wares against the division’s RP No.4, Tomic Apacibly of Manila, this afternoon.
The unfortunate Cebuano who lost their respective bids were brothers Jacob and Julius Lagman of Saint Benedict, Siso’s younger sister Sally Mae also of USC, and Janji Soquiño of University of Cebu, who bowed out in the Boys 18-Under.
