Marlon Manalo came away with back-to-back victories over former world pool champion and defending titlist Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan and Antonio Lining to clinch the first finals berth in the second BSCP National Pool Championships at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium last night.


Manalo, 28, dethroned Pagulayan, 9-7, in the featured afternoon match then kept his form and bundled out Lining, a former Asian and Southeast Asian Games gold medalist, 11-5, to advance to the race-to-13 finale.
