ADONES Aguelo and Melmark Dignos scored knockout wins last April 27, in the double-header of “Bakbakan sa Looc” at the Cabahug Gym in Looc, Mandaue City.

Aguelo walked away with a third- round stoppage after Richard Betos quit on his stool in their second rematch.

The 30-year-old Aguelo improved to 31-19-2 with 21 knockouts, while Betos, the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Asian Boxing Council (ABC) super bantamweight champion, dropped to 20-24-2 with seven knockouts.

Dignos, on the other hand, dropped battle-scarred veteran Rogen Flores twice en route to a second round stoppage in the 2:46 mark.

Dignos bounced back from loss in Macau and improved to 9-3 with a knockout, while Flores fell to 14-46-6 with seven knockouts.

In the undercard, Michael Adolfo (1-0) had a successful pro debut with a unanimous decision over Ryan Galas (0-10), while John Paul Gabonillas (1-0, 1 KO) stopped Argelo Samson (0-1) in the opening round. (EKA)

WHERE’S THE WATER? Water is sparse at the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City in this photo provided by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) on Friday, April 26, 2024. Completed in 1998, MCWD’s Jaclupan facility, officially known as the Mananga Phase I Project, catches, impounds and pumps out around 30,000 cubic meters of water per day under normal circumstances. However, on Friday, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said the facility’s daily production had plummeted to 8,000 cubic meters per day, or just about a quarter of its normal capacity, as Cebu grapples with the effects of the drought caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to persist until the end of May. The facility supplies water to consumers in Talisay City and Cebu City. /
