Jon Eleazar "Jon-Jon" Adlawan III of Sacred Heart-Jesuit made his presence felt in the 4th round of the FIM Asian Motocross in Macau yesterday.
Competing in his first stint abroad, the 13-year old Jon-Jon came out fourth overall among 12 entries in the juniors division.
The achievement was relayed to The Freeman by his father, Jonas Adlawan of Powersports Racing, which is also one of Cebu's most popular dirt-bikers.
Jon-Jon was a point away from snatching the bronze medal against a bet from Japan, which finished with 67 points in the overall tally.
He figured out in a mishap in the final run paving the way for the Japanese to get the medal.
A rider from Australia bagged the gold while Indonesia had the silver. Behind Jon-Jon was a rider from Guam.
Other competing squads in the juniors level came from New Zealand, India, Mongolia, Hong Kong, host Macau and China.
Meanwhile, the decent finish of the Cebuano was duplicated by another rider Renan Alquisola, son of Barili Mayor Bobby Alquisola, which landed fifth in the peewee class.
Alquisola's teammates occupied the second to fourth places with Guam winning the title.
Glenn Aguilar, the country's top rider, was third in the elite class.
Ian Reyes, another Cebuano rider who was with the Adlawan's also tried his luck competing against Aguilar and the rest of the pros, but failed to finish due to mechanical trouble.
