THE Salimbangon siblings will bank on their home court advantage as they open their bid in the 9th Philta-Palawan Pawnshop Regional Age-Group Championships today at the Consolacion International Tennis Center.
Twelve-year-old Kristin Renee Salimbangon who secured the title in the 12-Under girls in the 7th leg in the Bacolod City leg of the tournament, hopes to duplicate the feat.
Her brother Cesar Kristofer, on the other hand, will try to make up for his loss in Bacolod as he competes in the 10-under unisex division.
There are about 90 junior netters coming from Cebu, Manila and Bacolod competing in this tournament.
Fresh from her Malaysia ATF U14 stint, Jana Pages will also be seeing action in the tournament along with other female Cebuano bets Zethley Mae Alferez, Shyne Villareal and Edelweiss Donaire among others.
