 MANILA, Philippines — Judiciary and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) scored contrasting wins over their respective rivals to kick off their campaign in the sixth UNTV Cup at the Pasig City Sports Center over the weekend.

Chester Tolomia sparked Judiciary’s early onslaught and the Magi romped to a 115-76 win over the Ombudsman side to force a three-way tie for the early Group B lead in the tournament for the public servants.

Four other players scored in double figures for Judiciary which tied Malacañang and newcomer Dept. of Agriculture of Sec. Manny Piñol in the tournament offering P4 million to the charity of the winning team.

The AFP Cavaliers, on the other hand, leaned on former Letran star Boyet Bautista to subdue the GSIS Furies, 103-95, in the event organized by UNTV led by its CEO and president Daniel Razon.

Bautista finished with 23 points while Romeo Almerol had 19 points as the Cavaliers drew level with reigning champion PNP and Department of Health in Group A.
