BAGUIO CITY --  Mikaela Jasmine Mojdeh of Paranaque and Roz Ciaralene Encarnacion of Laguna made waves in swimming,  Fil-Italian MarcVan Louie Baluyut of Tarlac stamped his class in cycling and Marinel Abuan of Zambales ruled the high jump in Day 2 of the Batang Pinoy National Championship in various venues here Tuesday.

Mojdeh, dubbed as  the “Wonder Girl” of Philippine swimming,  swam  her  way to two more gold medals in 400m individual medley  with a  time of 5:37.36 and 50m butterfly  with a  time of 39.57 at the Baguio National High School pool.

The 13-year-old Fil-Iranian, who was  honored  during  the PSC Siklab Awards last July for her six-gold medal romp in the Palarong Pambansa, took  her first gold in the 100m butterfly last Monday.

Mojdeh, however,  failed to win a fourth gold when she  lost to Encarnacion in the 200M breaststroke.

Encarnacion edged Mojdeh,  clocking 2:55.02 against the latter’s 2:59.68.

Encarnacion, the 13-year-old find  from Alaminos, also ruled the 200m IM and 50m breaststroke to match Modjeh’s three-gold  medal  haul in the week-long competition being held in this city still recovering from  the devastating effects of super  typhoon Ompong.

Also winning three swimming  golds were Althea Baluyot of Quezon City ( 50m freestyle, 100m free and 100m fly); Roshanne Biglete of Laguna (200m backstroke, 50m free and 100m free); and Jules  Mirandilla of Lucena (50m butterfly).

Baluyut, the Rome, Italy-based  campaigner who is hoping to join the  national  pool, took the control early in the five-lap, 2.2 kilometer race  passing through the famous Burnham Park and bagged the gold in the 14-15 category criterium race.

The 15-year-old son of former national cyclist Villamor Baluyut crossed the finish line ahead of Joseph Quirino of Malaybalay and Justin Valerio of Pangasinan.

“Gustong-gusto po talaga na maka-karera dito sa Pilipinas at makasama sa  national team,” said the elder Villamor, a  native San Jose, Tarlac and teammate of Victor Espiritu from 1998-2004.

Cebu riders Nicole del Rosario, Moira Erediano and  Catherine Yu  finished 1-2-3 in the  girls category.

In athletics, Abuan posted 1.55m to secure the girls high jump gold.
