Cansino routed Anton Rolete of General Santos, 10-2, in the boys 16-under to advance to the next round along with fellow Head-sponsored players top-seed Leander Lazaro of Manila and third-seed Kim Polero.
Cansino is also seeing action in the 14-under category where he is expected to redeem himself after finishing second to Andre Banate in the Davao leg titular clash.
