The Abra Solid North Weavers subdued the Pasay Voyagers, 68-51, to blur a haunting memory in the SportsPlus Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League 2026 Season on Friday at the Pasay Astrodome.

Abra got stunned by Pasay, 60-70, at the same venue on 19 March, absorbing its lone loss of the year before embarking on a 36-win run, sweeping the North division crown over Pangasinan, and the national title over South division titlist Quezon Province.

Now, the Weavers are on an 11-game roll after yielding to the San Juan Knights, 58-66, on 2 May, and with a 13-1 slate in the round-robin elimination phase, trail only the Caloocan Batang Kankaloo (14-1) in the race for playoff spots in the North division.

The Weavers and the Voyagers hounded each other for every possession, resulting in a low 29-25 count, Abra ahead at halftime.

Back-to-back triples by Jake Figueroa and Mike Ayonayon sparked a 12-point Abra blitz, 48-28, from which Pasay could not recover.

Figueroa, former star of the National University Bulldogs, finished with 11 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, John Uduba, with 11 points and 11 rebounds, and reigning Most Valuable Player Dave Ildefonso with 11 points and six rebounds.

It was Shaun Ildefonso, however, who was chosen the best player with 10 points, six in the fourth quarter, plus seven rebounds.

Pasay fell to 9-8 as no Voyager could break double digits, with Lean Martel scoring eight and Christian Fajarito and Mark Parks settling for seven.

Meanwhile, the Ilagan Isabela Cowboys gunned down the Bacolod Masskaras, 107-90, in the second game and climbed to 10-6.
