The Spartans also dominated Surigao in the rapid event, 11-3, following full two pointers each from Badmatsyrenov, WIM Bernadette Galas, Antonio, Paraguya and Mirano and split by NM Raymond Salcedo. Board 6 Alexis Emil Maribao, however, was stunned by Rhenz Rhean Auza.
After their blitz encounter ended in a 3.5-all deadlock, Badmatsyrenov destroyed Jake Tumaliuan in their rapid duel to power Cavite to a 11-3 thrashing of Cagayan.
