The 11-bout card, aptly dubbed "Rumble in Mis-Or: First Step to Glory", starts at 7PM, according to Lazarito.
WBO Asia Pacific chairman Leon Panoncillo supervised the weigh-in graced by Misamis Oriental governor Oscar Moreno and promoter Leonil Lazarito who was accompanied by lovely daughter Khristine Kaye.

Aside from the main bout, Mark Anthony Geraldo, a fighter from Kibawe, Bukidnon, is the fighter to watch according to Lazarito.
