The 24-year-old pride of Cebu ruled the same event in Palembang, Indonesia five years ago - one of four gold medals which the country won.
The Chinese pair of Wenhui Zeng (69.15) and Chenxi Zui (66.36) went one-two during Tuesday's qualification at the Qantang Roller Sports Center in Zhejiang Province.
Renzo Mark Feliciano duplicated Didal's feat as he also advanced in the men's street skateboarding.
A silver medal winner in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, Feliciano placed seventh with 52 73.
