Salano, a national team member, was once again on top of the male 32K category with his time of 1:52:38 as he reigned supreme in all three legs of the Manila race, while Camacho made it back-to-back victories with her 2:23:25.
James Kevin Cruz (1:55:14) placed second and Edsel Moral (1:59:05) was third for the males, while Jewel de Luna (2:30:51) and Jennelyn Isibido (2:33:02) rounded out the top three for females.
