MANILA, Philippines—Sarah Joy Barredo of Andres Bonifacio Elementary School trashed Aldreen Concepcion of Quezon City, 21-15, 21-17, Friday to capture her second straight girls singles gold medal  Friday in the NCR Palarong Pambansa at the San Andres Gym.

The 12-year-old daughter of a Philippine Sports Commission employee thus formally qualified for the Palarong Pambansa, which will be held on May 6 to 12 in Pangasinan.

Barredo, a member of the Rizal Memorial Badminton Club since she was 6 years old, is highly favored in the Palaro after taking home the bronze medal in the girls singles individual last year in Dapitan City.

This early, the 5-foot-2 Barredo is being sought after by several schools as well as national coaches for possible inclusion in the national training team.
