Antipolo Table Tennis Athletic Club (ATTAC) partnered with the City Government of Antipolo to hold a two-day tournament in Robinsons Place Antipolo with over 200 participants participating from all over CALABARZON.

Keiji Redor, a 13-year-old player from Pagsanjan, dominated the boys’ competition. He won U13 category, defeating Ricardo Martin Lopez through a series of chops and successful returns. He rode the momentum he had in his wins against Mitchell Divina and Redor also emerged victorious in the U17 category beating older opponents with his aggressive returns and smashes.

He triumphed over Augustus Mendez in the U17 finals after beating fellow Pagsanjan players Laurence Cuaycong and Lawrence Melendez.

The finals for the Girls U13 was a match between Tanauenos in Camille Apilo and Andrea Reblora where Apilo came out on top. Tanauenos also clinched the top spot for the U17 category where Reblora bested Maria Ana Therese Gumabao from Redor’s Pagsanjan team in a nail-biter game.
