Tabotabo and Ruelan established their dominance early as Tabura and Abellanosa failed to break the power serves of the Tuburan netters.
Lapu-Lapu TC’s Junjie Deiparine and Caloy Calooy also marched to the semifinal round after beating Erwin Yac and the injured Mike Balazo of La Paloma TC,8-5, in Class B+.

In the B- class, Pardo TC’s Harry Abellanosa and Joseph Ababon ended the winning run of club-mates Eldon and Eliezer Yac following a thrilling 8-7 (5) win to advance to the semifinals.
PC Hills TC’s Tata Caballero and Lito Langkino, meanwhile, moved to the quarterfinals in C+ after beating Bebot Obaob and Efren Miranda of Pardo TC, 8-7 (5).
It was a sorry loss for Obaob and Miranda, who were leading 7-5, before PC Hills caught up with them at 7-7. In the tiebreak, Obaob and Miranda raced to a 5-2 lead before Caballero and Langkino rallied to take the next five points for their win.
In the other C+ games, Atty. Andy Escoton and Pompei Saturinas of Ceciel TC survived the power shots of Ging Ging Dutusme and Tony Lopez of PC Hills TC to win, 8-6, while Esay Labaya and Joel Badana of Pardo TC lost to Robert Dabon and Jun Teves of the Mantads TC, 8-3. (RCM)
