Camacho finished the match with a 193 game and was able to keep Manibusan at bay on lanes 13 and 14 as the latter was unable to find the kick, he needed to get past the younger foe bowling a 173 game.
In the semi-final matches, Camacho beat out fellow National Youth teammate and top seed Noah Taimanglo 191-170 jumping to an early lead that he was able to sustain throughout the match. Across the bracket, second seed Manibusan opened with a turkey and cruised past 4th seed RJ Santos 174-148 to set up the monthly finals.
