The three judges are Samson Libres of Bacolod, Tony Pesons and Edgar Olalo of Cebu.
Tapdasan, also a lawyer, will be the third man on the ring between WBO Intercontinental junior featherweight champion Genesis ?Azukal? Servania (25 wins, 11 KO) and challenger Juan Luis ?Perla Negra? Hernandez (17 wins, 9 KO, 3 loss, 1 draw) of Mexico.
The judges are Salven Lagumbay, Edward Ligas and Arnie Najera, all from Cebu City.
The two championship fights will be supervised by WBO representative Leon Panoncillo in coordination with the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) headed by its chairman Ramon Guanzon.
