El Joshua Cariño topped Stage Five even as his Navy-Standard Insurance teammates Ronald Oranza and Jan Paul Morales remained first and second overall in the Ronda Pilipinas 2018 presented by LBC that started in Echague, Isabela and ended at the San Jose City Hall in San Jose, Nueva Ecija on Thursday.

Cariño, 24, was practically handed the lap victory—a 179.4-km lap—as reward for towing the early breakaway group and making the move in the final six kilometers that led to an all-Navy finish with him taking first and Oranza and Morales second and third with identical clockings of four hours, six minutes and 58 seconds.
