MANILA – Para swimmers Ernie Gawilan and Ariel Joseph Alegarbes lead the Philippine Sportswriters Association’s best performers for the month of October.

Gawilan defended the men's 400m freestyle S7 title at the recent 5th Asian Para Games in Aich-Nagoya, Japan. He also got silver in the 200m Individual Medley SM7.

Boxer Carl Jammes Martin also shared the top billing with Gawilan and Alegarbes.

The 27-year-old Igorot scored a split decision win over highly favored Mexican Alan David Picasso to grab the WBC silver featherweight title in the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez-Christian Mbili super-middleweight event in Riyadh.

Martin, with a 29-0 record, declared his readiness to take on more big-time gigs against rated boxers in the featherweight division or even challenge for the WBO super-bantamweight crown.

Sisters Rose Jean and Rosegie Ramos both made the podium at the International Weightlifting Federation World Championships in China.

Rose Jean, 20, won the snatch bronze (86kg) in the women’s 49kg class, while Rosegie, 22, ranked third in snatch (97kg) in in the 53kg division.

Albert Ian Delos Santos, 20, placed fourth in the men’s 70kg division where he set two new junior world records (187kg in clean and jerk and 331kg total).
