MANILA, Philippines - Michael Orbiso of Racing Lion, Joven Millana of Vman Racing and Neil Perino of Suzuki BMR topped their respective divisions to clinch berths in the 2013 Suzuki Raider Breed Wars national finals in Manila in December.

The three Cebuano bets dominated the Suzuki Raider 150, Suzuki Underbone 115 and Suzuki Scooter 130 categories, respectively, in the 250, Battle of the Kings last Aug. 10 at the South Road Properties (SRP) in Sugbu, Cebu City.

The drag racing event was sanctioned by the National Motorcycle Sports and Safety Association (NAMSSA), which provides the proper and legal venue to all participating riders and drag racing enthusiasts.
