Thomas Gabuat and Ma. Judyann Padilla got back into the groove of things and fashioned out another pair of victories each to boost their rankings in the PPS-PEPP national age group tournament in Zamboanga del Norte on Tuesday.

Gabuat mastered Pete Bandala twice, posting a 6-3, 6-2 triumph in the boys' 16-and-under finals then claiming the 18-U crown via 6-2, 6-3 romp while Padilla took the girls' 16-U title with a 6-4, 6-4 decision over Christine Gulagula. The Ozamiz City find then survived arch rival AJ Acabo, 5-7, 6-4, 10-3, to rule the 18-U division of the Labason leg of the grueling Mindanao swing of the nationwide junior circuit.
