Three strokes adrift starting the final day, defending champion Crisologo shot a bogey-free, three-under 69 to set the target before Gagne finished with a birdie for a 72 after a rollercoaster round.
The Costa Rican opened with two birdies but double bogeyed the par-five fourth and followed a birdie at the par-three sixth with another double bogey at the par-four seventh to turn in one-over 37.
