In the beginner 110 Superstock Keken Cabahug of CYRUS Race Team made a strong
impact with a blazing 22.41 sec lap time on the qualifying rounds earning him the
pole position for the finals. He was followed by Kenneth Ouano for Team Norkis
Yamaha and Lyndon Requilme of Team MAC.
During the finals on Sunday Keken was off to a strong start, he was followed by
Lyndon Requilme of Team MAC and Teammate Jes Louie Vega. Meanwhile Joshua Abellar
of Team Motofix, Reman Collina of Team Pidot and Kenneth Ouano of Team Norkis Yamaha
were engaged in a furious battle for the 4th spot. The placing was pretty much the
same until the middle rounds as Joshua Abellar tries to fight his way to the top he
overtakes Jes Louie to take the 3rd spot. Lyndon Requilme managed to overtake Keken
and during that time joshua Abellar was hot on their tails. Jes Louie falls back to
the chasing pack with Kenneth Ouano and Reman Collina who were now engaged in a dog
fight for position, the two kept changing leads much to the delight of the crowd for
their spectacular show. Entering the final rounds Keken Cabahug crashes hard
entering the straights after being hit hard by Joshua Abellar. Keken Cabahug
recovers but it was evident that his bike was having problems after the crash.
Joshua goes on the pressure Lyndon Requilme all the way to the finish line.
Meanwhile Jes Louie Vega of Team CYRUS leads the chasing pack he is followed by
Kenneth Ouano, Reman Collina and Gary Caneda in taking the checkered flag.
The action would not stop there because right after the race a fight almost broke
out between Keken and joshua as a result of their heated contact during the race.
But due to the fast acting Task Force Delta and cool headed spectators from the
crowd the conflict did not escalate. Zandro Fajardo immediately called for a
settlement meeting among the conflicting riders it was then decided that Joshua
Abellar was penalized with a Black Flag.
The final results then are shown below
