VISAYAS FINALS: M. LHUILLIER UP, 1-0
CEBU CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu grabbed the important win in Game One of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference Visayas Division Finals by clipping a fighting Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu quintet, 82-74, Friday night (June 1) at the New Cebu City Coliseum.
Trailing by seven early in the final canto, 57-64, M. Lhuillier went on a telling 12-0 run starring Stephen Padilla to turn the game in their favor with four minutes to go, 69-54. After a timeout by Coach Al Solis, Arthro gamely fought back with Raul Redulosa equaling the count for the last time, 72-72, on two free throws at the 1:44 mark.
After Woodrow Enriquez shattered the tie with a basket, Coach Raul “Yayoy” Alcoseba then inserted Danny Aying to replace Ariel Mepana and the veteran immediately delivered a triple with a minute to play that crushed the hopes of the Jonathan Guardo-owned franchise, 77-72. Five straight free throws by Aying and Enriquez kept Arthro in check until a late basket by Jerome Gadiane settled the final tally.
Padilla fired a game-high 27 points on seven triples followed by Enriquez with 16. Alex Cainglet paced Arthro with 19 markers while big man JR Quinahan knocked in 16 and eight rebounds.
Game Two of the best-of-three series is scheduled for Sunday (June 3) still at the Cebu Coliseum with Arthro taking over the hosting chores at 5:00PM. Arthro faces the daunting task of sweeping the next two games while M. Lhuillier needs only one more win to advance to the MVBA Finals against the Mindanao Division Champion. Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr and the Iligan Archangels will dispute the Mindanao crown in their own best-of-three series starting this coming June 8 at the MSU-IIT Gym in Iligan City.

VISAYAS FINALS: SERIES ALL EVEN, 1-1
CEBU CITY – Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu banked on a strong endgame to defeat M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu, 70-67, and level the best-of-three Visayas Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference at one game apiece Sunday (June 3) at the New Cebu City Coliseum.
Guard Luther Luke Justiniani buried a triple with 1:21 to play to push Arthro of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis on top for good, 68-65. After a series of failed offensives on both sides, Mike Manigo opted to drive to the hoop for a lay-up with ten seconds remaining and cut the Arthro lead to a point, 67-68.
Coach Solis then sued for time. M. Lhuillier quickly fouled Alex Cainglet who coolly sank both his free throws for the final tally with 8.7 ticks on the clock. Coach Raul “Yayoy” Alcoseba was out of timeouts so after a quick inbound, Jett Latonio fired a desperation triple that bounced off the rim and out of bounds, preserving the win for Arthro.
M. Lhuillier suffered a big blow when point guard Woodrow Enriquez fouled out with still six minutes to play in the final canto and his team holding a shaky four-point advantage, 61-57. Arthro pounced on the opportunity as JR Quinahan and Justiniani scored at will, including back-to-back baskets that equalized the score for the last time at 65-65 and 2:10 to play. Arthro outscored M. Lhuillier in the fourth period, 22-10
It was a sorry loss for M. Lhuillier, which led by as much as 17 markers early in the second period, 27-10, and was firmly in the lead until Justiniani’s crucial triple. The team thus absorbed its first loss in the conference co-presented by ML Kwarta Padala, Converse and Gatorade and also with the help of Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Ocean Jet, Parklane Hotel, Red Horse, Yayoy’s Grill, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Holiday Plaza Hotel, Trans-Asia Shipping and Reva Sandals have also thrown in their support.
Quinahan led Arthro with 22 points while Justiniani followed with 13. Alano Caputolan paced M. Lhuillier with 14 points followed by Stephen Padilla with 12. Padilla surprisingly failed to convert a triple.
The schedule for Game Three will be announced soon. Meanwhile, Game One of the best-of-three Mindanao Division Finals will be this Friday (June 8 ) as the Iligan Archangels of Mayor Lawrence L. Cruz host Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr of Gov. Oscar S. Moreno at the MSU-IIT Gym. The Visayas and Mindanao champions will then clash in a best-of-three series for the MVBA First Conference title.
How They Scored:
ARTHRO-CEBU (70) – Quinahan 22, Justiniani 13, Cainglet 11, Santos 9, Berame 4, Luga 4, Ursal 3, Gabas 2, Diputado 2, Gadiane 0, Mercado 0, Garcia 0, Redulosa 0.

ARTHRO VISAYAS CHAMPIONS!
CEBU CITY – Arthro Kontra Arthritis dethroned M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu, 87-82, in the winner-take-all Game Three of the best-of-three Visayas Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference Wednesday night (June 6) at the University of San Carlos Gym.
A strong first period finish was all the team of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis needed. A five-point cluster by Stephen Padilla gave M. Lhuillier its biggest lead of game, 14-8. Arthro then went on a 15-4 finishing tear anchored on Bernie Ursal to lead after 10 minutes, 23-18.
From there Arthro erected its biggest margin early in the third canto, 50-38. M. Lhuillier did not give up easily as Padilla, Aldrin Ocanada, Woodrow Enriquez and Mike Manigo tried their best to cut into Arthro’s lead. Padilla nailed a triple to threaten, 56-57, and 2:30 to play in the third.
Ursal and JR Quinahan conspired to restore Arthro’s 10-point lead early in the final canto, 72-62. M. Lhuillier countered with a searing 14-4 rally, forcing the final deadlock at 76-76 on a side jumper by Alano Caputolan. Suddenly, Game Two hero Luther Luke Justiniani completed a three-point play off Padilla to push Arthro on top for good with three minutes left, 79-76.
Left with no recourse, M. Lhuillier gave up fouls to send Arthro players to the free throw line. Justiniani made four out of six attempts to keep Arthro on safely top. Enriquez threatened one last time with a field goal at the 10-second mark, 82-85. Coach Solis then called the game’s last timeout. In the ensuing play, Alex Cainglet settled the final tally with two free throws off the final foul of Manigo with eight seconds to play.
Cainglet paced Arthro with 21 markers followed by Justiniani with 15. Quinahan had 14 points and 12 rebounds. Padilla topped M. Lhuillier with 26 followed by Enriquez with 21. M. Lhuillier took Game One last June 1, 82-74. Arthro bounced back to level the series by winning Game Two last June 3, 70-67.
Arthro thus denied M. Lhuillier and its owner Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul "Yayoy" Alcoseba a rare three-peat in the league co-presented by ML Kwarta Padala, Converse and Gatorade and also with the help of Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Ocean Jet, Parklane Hotel, Red Horse, Yayoy’s Grill, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Holiday Plaza Hotel, Trans-Asia Shipping and Reva Sandals have also thrown in their support. M. Lhuillier ruled both conferences in the MVBA’s inaugural season last year.
Arthro now awaits the winner of the best-of-three Mindanao Division Finals between the Iligan Archangels and Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr. The series will begin this Friday (June 8 ) with MisOr visiting the Archangels at the MSU-IIT Gym starting at 6:00PM.
How They Scored:
ARTHRO-CEBU (87) – Cainglet 21, Justiniani 15, Quinahan 14, Mercado 10, Ursal 11, Abelong 5, Berame 4, Luga 4, Garcia 3, Gadiane 0, Abellanosa 0, Diputado 0, Santos 0, Redulosa 0.
M. LHUILLIER-CEBU (82) – Padilla 26, Enriquez 21, Latonio 11, Ocanada 9, Manigo 4, Caputolan 4, Aying 3, Piodo 2, Mepana 2, Ramirez 0.
Period Scores: 23-18, 43-38, 63-60, 87-82.
MINDANAO FINALS: ILIGAN PULLS GAME ONE SHOCKER, 87-85
ILIGAN CITY – The Iligan Archangels shocked heavily-favored defending champion Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 87-85, in Game One of the best-of-three Mindanao Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference Friday (June 8 ) at the noisy MSU-IIT Gym.
Point guard Von Harry Lanete atoned for his near-fatal miscues by burying a triple with 18 seconds left to put the Archangels of Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz and Coach Mike Reyes on top for good, 86-85. In the previous one-minute span, Lanete missed two free throws and committed a traveling violation in what could have pushed his side to the lead much earlier.
In the ensuing sequence, MisOr could only watch helplessly as new recruit Dennis Concha bungled two free throws off the final foul of Jan Malinao at the 10-second mark. Mark Abadia grabbed the defensive rebound and drew the last foul of Randy Sevilla. Abadia then gave the robust crowd some anxious moments by missing his first free throw but made the second to settle the final tally. With Coach Bong Abad out of timeouts, MisOr fired a quick inbound pass to Mark Ababon who missed a twisting lay-up at the buzzer that could have forced an extra period.
Employing a torrid scoring pace and an unforgiving defense, the Archangels scored their first 25 markers in the first five minutes en route to taking the first quarter, 30-19. MisOr with team owner and league chairman Gov. Oscar S. Moreno in attendance clawed back behind the good plays of Anton Viloria, Ababon and big men Randy Sevilla and Franklin Nailon. Both teams battled through eight deadlocks and five lead changes in the second half alone.
Carlos Sayon scored 11 of his team-best 21 points in the opening quarter to lead the Archangels. Abadia followed with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Viloria topped MisOr with 25 markers, 11 coming in the fourth quarter, followed by Ababon and Nailon with 13 each.
Newly-crowned Visayas Division champion Arthro Kontra Arthritis of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis will face the winner of the series in another best-of-three affair for the MVBA championship made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Converse and Gatorade and also with the help of Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Ocean Jet, Parklane Hotel, Red Horse, Yayoy’s Grill, Gameface.Ph (htp://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Holiday Plaza Hotel, Trans-Asia Shipping and Reva Sandals have also thrown in their support.
MisOr and Iligan will mix it up anew in in Game Two Saturday night (June 9) at the Xavier University Gym in Cagayan de Oro. MisOr badly needs a victory a home to force a deciding Game Three, tentatively set for today at the Xavier Gym anew starting at 6:00PM. On the other hand, an Iligan triumph will give the franchise its very first trip to the MVBA Finals.
How They Scored:
ILIGAN (87) – Sayon 21, Abadia 17, Lanete 15, Malinao 12, France 7, Abatayo 6, Jueves 3, Tangarorang 3, Esperat 2, Sereno 1, Tundag 0, Hermosa 0.
HOLCIM PRYCE-MISOR (85) – Viloria 25, Ababon 13, Nailon 13, Numeran 12, Sevilla 9, Briones 6, Tagupa 4, Concha 2, Jabagat 1, Sagad 0, Apepe 0, Navales 0.
Period Scores: 30-19, 46-38, 64-66, 87-85.

MINDANAO FINALS: SERIES IS NOW EVEN, 1-1
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – With their backs against the wall, defending Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr scored an emphatic 91-79 thrashing of the Iligan Archangels to even their best-of-three Mindanao Division Finals series at 1-1 Saturday (June 9) at the Xavier University Gym.
Homegrown talent Nico Pupos came off the bench and banged in nine markers in the third canto that gave MisOr its biggest lead of the game, 69-47. From there, it was smooth sailing as Pupos and Randy Sevilla submitted timely baskets to cushion a late Archangels rally led by Jeffrey France and Von Harry Lanete.
In contrast to their masterful 87-85 win in Game One last June 8 at the MSU-IIT Gym, the Archangels of Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz and Coach Mike Reyes were only in the contest during the early stages of the first period, 8-6, on a basket by Mark Abadia. From there, Julius Navales hit a triple, his lone score for the game, to put MisOr of MVBA chairman Gov. Oscar S. Moreno and Coach Bong Abad ahead for good, 9-8. That was the beginning of a 13-2 MisOr run that closed the first period, 19-10.
Game Three of the series will be played less than 24 hours from now on Sunday (June 10) at Xavier. The MVBA is co-presented by ML Kwarta Padala, Converse and Gatorade and also with the help of Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Ocean Jet, Parklane Hotel, Red Horse, Yayoy's Grill, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Holiday Plaza Hotel, Trans-Asia Shipping and Reva Sandals have also thrown in their support.
It was a breakout game for Pupos, who finished with a personal MVBA-best of 17 points. Lowell Briones followed with 11. In testament to their balanced attack, 11 of the 13 players fielded by Coach Abad scored at least five markers. Carlos Sayon paced the Archangels with 18 while Lanete and Abadia chipped in 14 each. France was the other Archangel in twin digits with 12.
Waiting intently for the outcome of Game Three is Visayas Division champion Arthro Kontra Arthritis handled by Coach Al Solis and owned by sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo. Game One of the best-of-three MVBA FInals is tentatively set for June 13 (Wednesday) at the Mindanao champion’s home venue. Game Two will be on June 15 in Cebu. If needed, the winner-take-all Game Three will be on June 16 also in Cebu.
How They Scored:
HOLCIM PRYCE-MISOR (91) – Pupos 17, Briones 11, Concha 9, Numeran 9, Nailon 8, Apepe 7, Tagupa 6, Sevilla 6, Viloria 5, Ababon 5, Jabagat 5, Navales 3, Sagad 0.

MISOR BACK-TO-BACK MINDANAO CHAMPS!
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr needed two overtimes to turn back the Iligan Archangels, 99-92, and capture their second consecutive Mindanao Division championship in continuing playoff action from the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference Sunday (June 10) at the Xavier University Gym. MisOr ended the best-of-three series, 2-1.
MisOr of league chairman Gov. Oscar S. Moreno will now face Visayas Division champion Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu in Game One of the best-of-three MVBA Finals this Tuesday (June 12) at the Xavier Gym. Tip-off will be at 6:00PM.
Gov. Moreno’s cagers rallied from nine points down, 70-79, with three minutes left in regulation. Coach Bong Abad reinserted Julius Navales and the spitfire quickly unloaded eight straight points to start MisOr’s 11-2 closing run. The Archangels fell in a maze of errors and missed free throws that allowed MisOr to come back. Nico Pupos sent the game into the first overtime via a free throw split off a foul by Jan Malinao with a second left on the clock, 81-81.
Anton Viloria hit a triple with 20 seconds to go in the first overtime to tie the score anew at 89-89. Mark Abadia then drove strong to the basket only to see the rim cough out the ball at the buzzer and set the stage for the second extension.
Nursing a one-point advantage, 93-92, MisOr held Iligan scoreless for the final three minutes of the exciting contest. Dennis Concha buried a triple and Mark Ababon added a lay-up to deliver the knockout blows with 44 seconds remaining, 98-92. Concha then settled the final tally with a free throw at the 37-second mark.
Navales scored 17 of his team-high 20 points in the third and fourth periods of regulation. Pupos and Frank Nailon followed with 16 points each. Carlos Sayon led the Archangels of Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz and Coach Mike Reyes with 19 markers followed by Jaysar Esperat with 17.
Arthro of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis boasts of a potent roster led by big man JR Quinahan (17.0 points per game) and the prolific backcourt tandem of Alex Cainglet (15.4 PPG) and Luther Luke Justiniani (12.0PPG). The MVBA Finals is made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Converse and Gatorade and also with the help of Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Ocean Jet, Parklane Hotel, Red Horse, Yayoy's Grill, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

THE FINALS: MISOR WINS GAME ONE IN OT, 74-71
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference Finals began on a high note Tuesday night (June 12) as Mindanao Division champion Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr whipped Visayas Division champion Arthro Kontra Arthritis in overtime, 74-71, at the Xavier University Gym.
MisOr of league chairman Gov. Oscar S. Moreno and Coach Bong Abad can wrap up the best-of-three series when they travel to Cebu for Game Two this Friday (June 15) at the New Cebu City Coliseum starting at 6:00PM.

Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Holiday Plaza Hotel, Trans-Asia Shipping and Reva Sandals have also thrown in their support.
Dennis Concha scored on an acrobatic drive to the hoop with 38 seconds left in regulation to tie the score at 65-65. Both teams then traded botched plays to set the stage for the extra period.
In the overtime, Mark Ababon scored a field goal to push MisOr on top for good, 68-67. Lowell Briones then added back-to-back baskets, the second coming at the 1:43 mark for a more comfortable 72-67 margin. Arthro threatened for one last time as Bernie Ursal canned a triple and Luther Luke Justiniani added a free throw with 19 ticks on the clock, 71-72. Ababon was quickly fouled by Chris Diputado and then split his charities, 73-71. Sadly, Arthro bungled its final offensive as MisOr’s defense went to work. Concha settled the final tally with a final with a free throw.
Frank Nailon battled the much bigger Arthro frontline and submitted 14 points and 14 rebounds to earn Game MVP honors. Briones followed with 13. Justiniani paced Arthro of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis with 13 followed by Ursal and Rino Berame with 10.
Meanwhile, the MVBA and the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) in cooperation with the Cebu City Sports Commission will hold an invitational tournament at the Cebu Coliseum from June 24 to 28 featuring four MVBA teams – MisOr, Arthro, Iligan Archangels and M.

THE FINALS: MISOR MVBA CHAMPIONS
CEBU CITY – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr whipped Arthro Kontra Arthritis, 74-65, Friday night (June 15) at the New Cebu City Coliseum to bag the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) First Conference. MisOr swept the best-of-three series, two games to nil.
MisOr of league chairman Gov. Oscar S. Moreno made history as the first team from Mindanao to grab the MVBA title. Defense was the key as winning coach Bong Abad employed a combination of zone and man to man defenses to frustrate Arthro, the Visayas Division champions owned by sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and coached by Al Solis.
A crippling 15-3 run to close out the third period anchored on Mark Jonas Ababon, Dennis Concha and Randy Sevilla gave MisOr a 54-47 lead that later ballooned to ten markers midway in the fourth period, 65-55,
Arthro gamely fought back with JR Quinahan adding two free throws to threaten 62-65, and 3:30 to play. MisOr answered with back-to-back baskets by Mark Apepe and Concha to ease the pressure. Concha then made two more free throws to put the game beyond reach with still 42 ticks on the clock, 69-62.
Quinahan then launched a triple as Arthro’s last hurrah, 65-71. Ababon and Concha settled the final tally with free throws.
For his outstanding overall performance throughout the conference that saw him average 11.7 points per game, big Frank Nailon was named as Most Valuable Player (MVP). Nailon scored 14 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in their 74-71 Game One victory last June 12 at the Xavier University Gym. In Game two, the 6’5” Nailon focused on defending Arthro’s stratospheric frontline.
Concha topped MisOr with 18 points followed by Sevilla with nine. Apepe, Ababon and Lowell Briones all had eight markers in the balanced attack. Quinahan led Arthro with 29 points while Bernie Ursal added 13. MisOr was able to limit Arthro’s prolific guards Alex Cainglet and Luther Luke Justiniani to a total of nine points, a far cry from the duo’s combined 26.4-point average entering Game Two.
MisOr will have little time to celebrate as they join Arthro and other MVBA teams – M. Lhuillier and Iligan Archangels – and two teams from the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) – Burger King and Dazz ‘Sang Patak – in an invitational tournament in Cebu from June 24 to 28. The said event will be sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP), the first major provincial event of the organization since its creation earlier this year.
The MVBA Finals was made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Converse and Gatorade and also with the help of Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Ocean Jet, Parklane Hotel, Red Horse, Yayoy's Grill, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

Now, that's one name I haven't heard in ages. He was a scoring machine for Mobiline in the PBA back then, before Jeffrey Cariaso came over.
Nick Pupos, on the other hand, is a certified scorer as well. I remember him playing for ACSAT in the (NAASCU? UCAA? CUSA?), torching his opponents for 40 points.

yeah Briones was really a good player and still is.... I think he was the one of those who makes behind-the-back dribble look easy sa PBA... but like most of those good players, mga girls and weakness niya

In the ensuing play, Reed Juntilla missed a hurried triple with Leo Bat-og collaring the defensive rebound plus a foul and seven seconds on the clock, making one free throw for a four-point edge, 90-86. Juntilla sank a triple with a second left to settle the final count.
Danny Aying led M. Lhuillier with 22 points, 12 coming in the third canto, followed by Enriquez with 19. Chico Lanete paced Dazz with 16 while Juntilla added 14 for the Jack Huang-owned squad under veteran mentor Agripino “Jun” Noel.
In the second game, Burger King drew a superb performances from guard Bong Tan and centers Joe Devance and JR Quinahan against the reigning MVBA champions. Tan came off the bench for Coach Lawrence Chongson as he teamed up with Quinahan for 14 of the Whoppers’ 24 points in the second period to break the game wide open by halftime, 42-29.
Tan then clustered five straight points to give the Whoppers their biggest lead of the game early in the third period, 51-32. With MisOr threatening, 67-72, Tan unleashed five more points to restore his side’s ten-point margin entering the final two minutes, 77-67.
Devance had a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds while Tan shared scoring honors also with 18. New recruit Norman Gonzales led MisOr of MVBA chairman Gov. Oscar S. Moreno and Coach Bong Abad with 16 while Dennis Concha submitted 12 of his 15 markers in the final period.

CEBU CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City became the first team to advance to the crossover semifinals of the First Talk ‘N Text Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Invitational Tournament at the New Cebu City Coliseum Monday evening (June 25).

Oscar S. Moreno, 90-88. Saladaga then batted away a MisOr pass at the buzzer to break up their final scoring chance.

M. Lhuillier banked on a strong second half to thwart the Burger King Whoppers, 93-79, while Dazz used a strong start to waylay Hotel Fortuna Firefly, 87-69.

M. LHUILLIER RULES TNT INVITATIONAL
CEBU CITY - M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala completed its domination of the First Talk 'N Text Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Invitational Tournament by beating Dazz 'Sang Patak, 80-75, in the winner-take-all finale Thursday evening (June 28) in front of the biggest crowd in years at the New Cebu Coliseum.
With M. Lhuillier enjoying its biggest lead of the game midway in the third period, 51-39, Dazz of Jack Huang and Coach Agripino "Jun" Noel staged a mighty rally behind Reed Friar Juntilla, Ardy Larong and Larry Rodriguez to close in entering the final period, 56-57.
Rodriguez then scored on a three-point play off Danny Aying to begin the final quarter and give Dazz its last taste of the lead, 59-57. Suddenly, Stephen Padilla banged in a triple and Jett Latonio added two free throws to give restore the upper-hand to M. Lhuillier for good, 62-59.
Aying hit his second triple and Woodrow Enriquez jacked in three lay-ups to push the Jewelers further ahead, 72-64. With Dazz threatening, 68-72, Aying sank three free throws of a Beau Belga foul for more breathing space with 1:51 in the game, 75-68.

For his consistent play during the five-day tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP), Aying was named as the Most Valuable Player behind his average of 11.3 points per game. The 6'3" former Barangay Ginebra player was always there to bail out his team during crucial situations, delivering scores or defensive stops.
Lyndon Gudez, a prized rookie out of the University of San Jose-Recoletos, led M. Lhuillier with 14 points, 11 coming in the opening quarter. Enriquez added 13. Chico Lanete led Dazz with 20 points but was limited to only three free throws in the fourth quarter. Juntilla finished with 18.

QUESTION for MVBA: Are there any mvba teams based in davao city?
QUESTION for MVBA: Are there any mvba teams based in davao city?
THE coming Second Conference this September will see the return of pioneer member Montana Pawnshop after a two-conference leave of absence. The Armando Quibod-owned team has a new coach in Nicasio Serafica who replaced Flordelito Cagampang.
Hopefully, the Phoenix Fuels-Duterte Agilas of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte will finally participate. The franchise has been an inactive member since the league began operations last year.
Finally, it's not only Montana that will be making a comeback. Another pioneer team, the MP Warriors-GenSan of Manny Pacquiao will also return after a one-conference hiatus. Although representing and playing their home games in the Socsargen area, the Warriors are actually based in Davao City. They also have a new coach in Perry Alicante who replaced Jesus Ramon Pido.

LANDMASTER ESCAPES WARRIORS, 80-78
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd40/MVBA_Ph/jumballpacquiao.jpg
MANDAUE CITY - Host Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue escaped with an 80-78 triumph over the MP Warriors-GenSan Sunday evening to start the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.
With Landmaster on top by two, 80-78, Richard Ian Saladaga's game-long brilliance almost went to naught as he fouled Warrior Apol Coronado at the three-point line with 1.8 ticks to play. The Mandaue quintet's fears turned into joy as Coronado missed all his three free throws and Harold Santa Cruz grabbed the defensive rebound to preserve the win.
Landmaster of Joe Soberano and Mayor Jonas Cortes used a 10-0 run to end the third canto, 64-54. The Warriors of boxing idol Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido then clawed back behind the combined 15 markers of Coronado and Weng Farochillen to threaten. Roderick Ramos added two free throws to threaten for the last time, 78-79, and 1:21 to go. Mark Yee then split his free throws off Erian Daja with 7.6 seconds left to give Landmaster breathing space, 80-78.
Yee led Landmaster with 13 points, five coming in the crucial final quarter, followed by Saladaga with 12. Rolly Menor topped the Warriors with 21 points but none of his teammates submitted double-digits.
Earlier, Pacquiao led the tossing of the ceremonial first ball together with Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) officials Councilor Raul "Yayoy" Alcoseba and Lorenzo "Chao" Sy and basketball legend and Mandaue sports consultant Ramon Fernandez.
Action resumes tomorrow (September 18 ) at the New Cebu Coliseum with the Warriors visiting defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Alcoseba starting at 5:30PM.
M. Lhuillier in a determined bid to retain its title has undergone a major manpower buildup by reacquiring Bruce Dacia and hiring guards Lou Gatumbato and Gerry Cavan and big men Marlon Basco and Ron Capati to join old hands Stephen Padilla, Danny Aying, Jett Latonio, Jayford Rodriguez, Alano Caputolan, Marlon Piodo and Woodrow Enriquez.
How They Scored:
CEBU LANDMASTER-MANDAUE (80) - Yee 13, Saladaga 12, Manigo 11, Torion 9, Marata 9, Gloria 9, Nicdao 8, Santa Cruz 4, Ocanada 3, Mangubat 2.

M. LHUILLIER SMASHES WARRIORS, 83-66
CEBU CITY - Defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City used a balanced attack to smash the MP Warriors-GenSan in the second day of hostilities at the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the New Cebu Coliseum.
In a rematch of last year's First Conference finals, M. Lhuillier of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba reasserted their mastery over the wards of boxing idol Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido.
The Jewelers raced to a 15-8 lead after the first period. Not even the arrival of Pacquiao before the second period could spark the Warriors as the Jewelers pulled away by halftime, 35-21.
Then the floodgates burst open as Jayford Rodriguez with help from Ron Capati and Jett Latonio ignited a 14-2 blast to windup the third canto, 68-35. Lou Gatumbato buried two triples early in the final quarter to push M. Lhuillier to its biggest lead, 74-37. From there, the Jewelers coasted to the win, allowing Louie Medalla and Rolly Menor to trim the Warriors' deficit to a more respectable level.
Rodriguez was the lone Jeweler in twin digits with 12 points but five of his mates submitted eight or more points. Menor topped the Warriors with 19 points followed by Erian Daja with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

CEBU CITY - MP Warriors-GenSan made sure they would not go home empty-handed as they whipped Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu, 74-67, at the resumption of the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Wednesday evening at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Roderick Ramos made two big triples to erect a 68-59 lead with 3:14 to play, quenching a searing Arthro rally that saw the wards of Jonathan Guardo and Coach Al Solis close in, 58-62.
Not willing to quit, Bernie Ursal and Alex Cainglet gave it a final push as they threatened for the last time, 66-70, on an Ursal free throw at the 39-second mark. In the ensuing play, Jomer Rubi missed a triple but Jasper Callo grabbed the offensive rebound plus a foul on Rubi. Rubi then hit four crucial free throws in the final 14 seconds to preserve the win, their first in the community-based league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
Earlier, Rolly Menor came off the bench to score six straight points in the final two minutes of the opening period to shatter a 10-10 tie and put the Warriors on top for good, 16-10. With team owner Manny Pacquiao as chief cheerleader, Louie Medalla gave the Warriors their biggest lead via a triple in the third canto, 44-30.
Menor had another super game with 21 points and 10 rebounds followed by Ramos with 12. Cainglet topped Arthro with 19 markers while Ursal added 11.

LANDMASTER SNEAKS PAST M. LHUILLIER, 83-81
MANDAUE CITY –Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue claimed its second straight victory in the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference with a nail-biting 83-81 escape over defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City last Friday (September 21) at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.
Harold Santa Cruz banged in a free throw with 44.5 ticks to go in the contest that broke an 81-81 tie and put Landmaster on top, 82-81. Woodrow Enriquez then drew a foul from Mike Manigo only to miss both shots and Mark Yee grabbed the defensive rebound from the hands of Ron Capati plus a foul. Yee made only one charity to settle the final count with 26.1 remaining.
In the final sequence of the game, Marlon Basco fired a jumper from the corner that bounced off the rim and into the hands of Enriquez who drove strong to the basket with a second to go. Enriquez was fouled but the table officials ruled that the foul came after the buzzer sounded, thus igniting the pro-Landmaster gallery’s celebration.
Enriquez put M. Lhuillier on top for the last time with a buzzer-beating triple at the end of the third period, 62-60. From there, Manigo restored the lead with a triple to begin the final period and with help from Bong Marata and Christian Nicdao never relinquished the lead. The best that M. Lhuillier could do was knot the score at 81-81 on an Enriquez put back of a missed triple by Bruce Dacia with 1:03 to go.
Yee had a monster game with 18 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks. Manigo followed with 18, 14 coming in the second half. Enriquez led M. Lhuillier with 23 points followed by Dacia with 19. M. Lhuillier’s win-loss card fell to 1-1 in the league made possible by Nature’s Spring Drinking Water, ML Kwarta Padala, Converse, Sulpicio Lines, Nike Basketball, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph and Accel.

Bong Marata clustered five straight points to threaten of the last time, 81-85. From there, Arthro of sports patron Jonathan Guardo and Coach Al Solis scored the final eight points of the otherwise tight contest, employing a confusing defense that sent Landmaster into a maze of errors and forced shots.
Earlier, Alex Cainglet exploded for 16 points in the third quarter including a triple that put Arthro on top for good entering the final period, 65-64. Timely baskets by Ronald Bucao managed to repel Landmaster's repeated attempts to rally.
Landmaster of Joe Soberano and Coach Jun Tan used a 12-3 run to build a 45-37 edge at halftime. Cainglet, Doroteo Almacin and Luther Justiniani rained a combined seven triples in the third period to fuel Arthro's mighty comeback. Arthro thus tallied their first win and snapped Landmaster's two-game winning run in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and backed by ML Kwarta Padala, Sulpicio Lines, Nature's Spring, Accel, Gameface.Ph, Reva Sandals and Nike Basketball.

M. LHUILLIER HALTS MISOR IN OT, 81-76
CAGAYAN DE ORO – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City needed an extra five minutes to dispose of debuting Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 81-76, to open hostilities in Mindanao for the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Friday night (September 28).
Woodrow Enriquez scored six of M. Lhuillier’s 10 points in overtime, including a three-point play with 2:11 left that put them ahead for good, 75-73. MisOr would threaten for the last time on a drive by Dennis Concha, 75-77, but Enriquez quickly cooled MisOr with a pair of free throws off Mark Moreño with 23 ticks remaining, 79-75.
M. Lhuillier then sent Mark Abadia to the foul line with 16 seconds to go, but he could only make the first with Bruce Dacia grabbing the defensive rebound off the second attempt. Dacia was quickly fouled by Nathaniel Cruz, making both his shots for the final tally.
Earlier, Concha sent the game into overtime via an easy under-goal stab off a drop pass from Anton Viloria with three seconds left in regulation. That capped a furious windup that saw MisOr rally from seven points down with 2:45 in the balance, 63-70, limiting M. Lhuillier to a single free throw by Dacia at the 10-second mark.
Enriquez led M. Lhuillier with 16 points followed by Dacia with 13 and Basco with 12. Viloria topped MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno with 19 markers while Cruz and Lowell Briones chipped in 11 each. M. Lhuillier thus raised its win-loss record to 2-1 in the community-based league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Accel, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
M. Lhuillier will next play the MP Warriors-GenSan at the Digos City Stadium today (September 29) starting at 6:00PM. The wards of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba end their Mindanao tour tomorrow (September 30) when they visit the Duterte Davao Agilas at the Almendras Gym starting at 6:00PM.

M. LHUILLIER HALTS MISOR IN OT, 81-76
CAGAYAN DE ORO – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City needed an extra five minutes to dispose of debuting Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 81-76, to open hostilities in Mindanao for the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Friday night (September 28).
Woodrow Enriquez scored six of M. Lhuillier’s 10 points in overtime, including a three-point play with 2:11 left that put them ahead for good, 75-73. MisOr would threaten for the last time on a drive by Dennis Concha, 75-77, but Enriquez quickly cooled MisOr with a pair of free throws off Mark Moreño with 23 ticks remaining, 79-75.
M. Lhuillier then sent Mark Abadia to the foul line with 16 seconds to go, but he could only make the first with Bruce Dacia grabbing the defensive rebound off the second attempt. Dacia was quickly fouled by Nathaniel Cruz, making both his shots for the final tally.
Earlier, Concha sent the game into overtime via an easy under-goal stab off a drop pass from Anton Viloria with three seconds left in regulation. That capped a furious windup that saw MisOr rally from seven points down with 2:45 in the balance, 63-70, limiting M. Lhuillier to a single free throw by Dacia at the 10-second mark.
Enriquez led M. Lhuillier with 16 points followed by Dacia with 13 and Basco with 12. Viloria topped MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno with 19 markers while Cruz and Lowell Briones chipped in 11 each. M. Lhuillier thus raised its win-loss record to 2-1 in the community-based league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Accel, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

WARRIORS POUND M. LHUILLIER, 86-70
DIGOS CITY – The MP Warriors-GenSan scored their first Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) win over M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City, 86-70, Saturday (September 29) at the Digos City Stadium.
Winless against the team since the league began last year, the Warriors of boxing idol Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido pounced on a visibly fatigued M. Lhuillier side in the second half. The Warriors held the Jewelers sans a field goal in the last 5:23 while unloading 12 points – eight coming from Erian Daja and four from Rolly Menor. The best the Jewelers could do was to sink three free throws.
M. Lhuillier entered the game barely rested from an eight-hour land trip from Cagayan de Oro City where they defeated Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr in overtime the night earlier, 81-76. Ronald Capati gave M. Lhuillier its last taste of the lead, 51-50, midway through the third period. Daja answered with four straight points and the Warriors never looked back, 54-51.
Despite the trip, the Jewelers still looked sharp in the first half as Coach Raul Alcoseba shuffled his players in order to keep fresh legs on the floor. Behind the good plays of Bruce Dacia and Gerry Cavan, M. Lhuillier led at halftime, 42-40.
Both teams leveled their win-loss cards a 2-2 in the league backed generously by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball and sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
M. Lhuillier will battle the debuting Duterte Davao Agilas today (September 30) at the Almendras Gym in Davao City. After the Jewelers, it will be the turn of Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue of Joe Soberano, Mayor Jonas Cortes and Coach Jun Tan to take a tour of Mindanao starting Thursday (October 4) when they visit the Warriors.
Daja led the Warriors with 18 points and nine rebounds while Menor added 16. Donald Tadena tallied nine of his 12 points in the first period. Dacia paced M. Lhuillier with 16 points, all coming in the second period. Capati followed with 12.

M. LHUILLIER DOWNS AGILAS, 93-70
DAVAO CITY – Defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City gave the Goldstar Hardware-Duterte Agilas a rude welcome in the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Sunday night, 93-70, at the Almendras Gym.
Playing their first game in the community-based league, the Agilas of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Coach Ferdinand “Dindo” Pastor gave the Jewelers a good first impression before finally collapsing in the final period.
The Jewelers behind Bruce Dacia, Ron Capati and Woodrow Enriquez took the first period, 24-16. However, the Agilas fought back as Donald Delfin scattered eight points and with help from Jun Tamayo and Jonjon Gonzaga threatened, 32-36. M. Lhuillier responded with with a 13-2 windup to end the first half on top, 49-34.
The Agilas kept in step with the Jewelers as gunner Eder Saldua finally found his scoring touch with eight markers in the third canto. That was the best the Agilas could do as the Jewelers decided to dash all their foes' hopes with Dacia and Marlon Basco taking turns at powering a telling 11-1 run that erected a good 79-62 lead with three minutes to play.
The Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba ended their three-game Mindanao swing with two wins and a loss for a 3-2 overall card in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Baskebol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Accel, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. They also won last Friday over Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr in overtime in Cagayan de Oro City, 81-76, while losing to the MP Warriors-GenSan the next day in Digos City, 86-70.
Dacia led M. Lhuillier with 19 points followed by Basco with 13 and Capati and Stephen Padilla with 12 each. Gonzaga paced the Agilas with 16 while Delfin knocked in 12 and Saldua 10.
Next up to tour Mindanao will be Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue beginning this Thursday (October 4) when they play the MP Warriors.

LANDMASTER MASTERS WARRIORS, 80-72
DIGOS CITY – Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue nearly squandered a 16-point lead in the final quarter but still managed to hold off the challenge of the MP Warriors-GenSan, 80-72, Thursday at the Digos City Stadium in hot action from the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference.
Richard Ian Saladaga scored a field goal to give Landmaster its biggest lead of the game, 68-52, early in the fourth quarter. From there, the Warriors leaned on a strong 17-5 run fueled by seven points from Rolly Menor that closed the gap at the 2:40 mark, 69-73.
However, Saladaga came to the rescue with another basket and Jimwell Torion and Mike Manigo added free throws to give the Joe Soberano-owned franchise an unassailable 78-69 lead with 46 seconds to play. Landmaster thus raised its record to 3-1 and remain the top team in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Saladaga led Landmaster with 19 points followed by Mark Yee with 16. Menor topped the Warriors with 17 markers while Louie Medalla added 12. The Warriors of Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido fell to 2-3 but stayed on top of the Mindanao Division. The MVBA Digos games, the Warriors' adopted home, were made possible by Mayor Arsenio Lataza and City Treasurer Jake Uy.
Landmaster will play the Goldstar Hardware-backed Duterte Agilas-Davao at 6:00PM tonight at the Almendras Gym in Davao City. The wards of Coach Jun Tan will end their three-game Mindanao journey Sunday (October 7) when they tackle Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr at the Xavier University Gym starting at 6:00PM.

The Jewelers led all the way despite the repeated rallies of Arthro, which threatened for the last time at 62-64 with seven minutes to play. M. Lhuillier then went on 16-4 tear to finish of their foes. Alex Cainglet sank a late triple to settle the final tally.
Padilla, who averaged only 6.6 points entering the game, finally broke out of his slump with seven triples en route to 24 points followed by Dacia with 17. Cainglet paced Arthro with 19 while Ronald Bucao chipped in 16. M.

I think Bruce Dacia is quite a talented player, he's just not given enough exposure in the PBA to show his true wares... :)
bruce dacia is an explosive open court player who loves to dunk the ball during fastbreak plays. he has so many diffeciencies as a player that's why he wasn't given much playing time by air 21. He's standing around 6'2" but he's playing small forward. he's relatively an undersize for that position considering his height. his height is suitable to be a PG or SG but he is not a good ballhandler and a shooter. he's a good slasher but his always outhustled by defenders because he's only weighing 195 pounds. in short, he's a thin and lanky with good leaping ability but he lacks the stamina and bulk to be in the big league.
LANDMASTER CRUSHES AGILAS, 87-60
DAVAO CITY – Visayas Division leader Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue continued its rampage across Mindanao by crushing the Goldstar Hardware-Duterte Agilas Friday night, 87-60, at the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the Almendras Gym.
With the score tied for the first and only time in the contest at 7-7, Landmaster of Joe Soberano, Mayor Jonas Cortes and Coach Jun Tan went on a 12-4 run to close the first period and take the lead for good, 19-11.
The victory did come at a cost as Landmaster lost key player Richard Ian Saladaga to a nasty cut on the right eyebrow late in the first period. Saladaga, who scored 19 markers against in their 80-72 win over the MP Warriors-GenSan last Thursday, is questionable for their final Mindanao game against Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno tomorrow at the Xavier University Gym.
After Agila Bob Cozy Ilanga opened the second quarter with a basket, Landmaster went on a crippling 18-0 blitz highlighted by two triples from Aries Gloria for a 37-13 advantage. Halftime was pegged at 48-20 as the Agilas could only muster nine points in the second quarter.
The Agilas though showed brief signs of life. Jimwell Torion canned two free throws to push Landmaster to its biggest lead, 63-31, and 3:10 to go in the third period. The Agilas responded with a 13-1 run behind Ilanga, Eder Saldua and Greggy Delica to cut the deficit to its closest entering the final period, 44-64.
Landmaster then began the final canto with an 11-3 tear led by Bong Marata to settle the outcome and coast to the victory, their fourth in five games in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. The Agilas of Coach Dindo Pastor and team manager Christopher “Bong” Go dropped their second straight game and will embark on a three-game tour of Cebu next week starting October 10.
Aldrin Ocanada scattered 18 points to lead Landmaster followed Marata with 13 and Mike Manigo and Mark Yee with 11 each. Ilanga was the lone Agila in twin digits with 15. Delica and new recruit Wynsjohn Te added eight points each.

LANDMASTER SWEEPS MINDANAO TRIP
CAGAYAN DE ORO – Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue completed a sweep of its three-game Mindanao road tour by spanking Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr Sunday evening, 62-48, in the resumption of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the Xavier University Gym.
Coach Jun Tan ordered his troops to use a suffocating zone defense that held MisOr scoreless for the final seven minutes of the contest. Nathaniel Cruz sank MisOr’s final basket for a 48-55 count. Mike Manigo then rattled off the game’s final seven markers to settle the final tally with still 3:37 to play. MisOr could cough up five points only in the final quarter against the nine of Landmaster, but that was enough to raise their league-best win-loss record to 5-1.
Landmaster of Joe Soberano and Mayor Jonas Cortes led by as much as 17 points several times in the second period, the last coming at 37-20. Egged on by their home fans, MisOr of MVBA chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad rallied to close in by six in the third canto, 33-39. However, Landmaster countered with an 8-0 run for a 47-33 score.
Manigo led Landmaster with 13 points followed by Bong Marata with 11. Cruz was the lone MisOr player in twin digits with 17 as he lacked support from his mates. The 48 points of MisOr is a new conference-low, eclipsing the 60 scored by the Goldstar Hardware-backed Duterte Agilas-Davao last October 5 against the same Landmaster quintet.
The Agilas and MisOr will lock horns tonight at the Xavier Gym, with both squads in search of the elusive first win in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Arthro Kontra Arthritis will also play with M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City at the New Cebu Coliseum in a Visayas Division skirmish.
MisOr ends its three-game home stand tomorrow against the MP Warriors-GenSan of Manny Pacquiao. Both teams hope to continue their budding rivalry that began last season. The Warriors hold a 2-3 card, good for the top spot in the Mindanao Division.

MISOR GETS FIRST WIN
CAGAYAN DE ORO – Holcim Pyrce Pharma-MisOr finally barged into the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference win column with an inspiring 100-89 victory over the visiting Goldstar Hardware-backed Duterte Agilas-Davao Monday at the Xavier University Gym.
A day after setting a conference-low with 48 points against Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue, the team of league chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad came out with guns firing away, engaging the Agilas in a shootout and become the first team to score a hundred points en route to their first win in three starts in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Showing improvement every game, the Agilas under acting coach Rhoel Josol raced to an early 15-9 lead, but MisOr fought back to seize the advantage, 18-16, en route to taking the first period, 31-24. The Agilas played catch up from there, managing to tie the count once at 67-67 courtesy of Greggy Delica before Mark Apepe canned a late triple to give MisOr the lead entering the final canto, 70-67.
Benched in their first two losing games, Apepe led MisOr’s charge in the fourth to repel all rallies by the Agilas, who threatened for the last time at 77-80 on a basket by Jonjon Gonzaga at the four-minute mark. Nathaniel Cruz and Mark Moreño then banged in key baskets as Apepe fired another triple that erected an unassailable 90-79 MisOr edge entering the final two minutes. MisOr then shot steadily from the free throw line to preserve the win.
Cruz led all scorers with 24 while Apepe added 14 to tow three other MisOr players in twin digits. The trio of Delica, Gonzaga and Eliazar Berami topped the Agilas with 17 markers each. MisOr will gun for its second straight win in a game against the MP Warriors-GenSan tonight.
The Agilas will begin their three-game tour of the Visayas Division in search of the elusive first win tomorrow when they visit Arthro Kontra Arthritis at the New Cebu Coliseum starting at 5:30PM. Arthro of sports patron Jonathan Guardo and Coach Al Solis currently carries a 1-2 record.

CAGAYAN DE ORO – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr vaulted to the top of the Mindanao Division of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Tuesday by besting MP Warriors-GenSan, 81-74, at the packed Xavier University Gym.
MisOr of MVBA chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad leaned on a strong second half to overturn an 11-point deficit, 33-44, and crush the hopes of the Manny Pacquiao-owned Warriors. MisOr banked on an 11-2 run to begin the fourth period, highlighted by the go-ahead basket by Frank Nailon followed by a five-point cluster by Anton Villoria that resulted in a 66-59 advantage.
The Warriors countered with an 8-2 binge of their own to threaten for the last time at 67-68. Villoria quickly played fireman with a triple at the 2:30 mark followed by two more triples by Mark Moreño for a safer 77-69 lead with 1:19 to play. The duo was not yet done as Villoria scored one more field goal and Moreño a pair of free throws to secure the win, 81-72. Former MVP Louie Medalla settled the final count with his only two points in the game.
Early foul trouble slowed down the action, transforming the third canto into a virtual free throw shooting contest. A late burst by Lowell Briones and Ramil Tagupa gave MisOr valuable momentum entering the final quarter despite still trailing, 55-57.
It was a sorry loss for the Warriors and Coach Ramon Pido who dominated the first half behind the good plays of Joel Lagare, Roderick Ramos, Erian Daja, Jeffy Locsin and Donald Tadena. MisOr thus evened its win-loss card to 2-2, and overtake the Warriors who fell to 2-4 for the top spot in the Mindanao Division of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and backed by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Villoria bombed the Warriors for 22 points while Moreño added 11. Daja paced the Warriors with 15 followed by Tadena with 11.
Tomorow, the Goldstar Hardware-sponsored Duterte Agilas-Davao continue their tour of the Visayas when they play league leader Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue (5-1) at the Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Center starting at 5:30PM. Landmaster blasted the Agilas, 87-60, last October 5 at the Almendras Gym.
In late completed action from Monday night at the New Cebu Coliseum, M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City repeated over Arthro Kontra Arthritis, 87-82, for its fifth win in seven games. M. Lhuillier will face the Agilas tonight.
Woodrow Enriquez and Ronald Capati led M. Lhuillier with 17 points each followed by Jayford Rodriguez with 14 and Lou Gatumbato and Marlon Basco both with 13. Doroteo Almacin and Mark Ababon had 28 and 20 markers respectively but lacked support from their mates.

M. LHUILLIER SNEAKS PAST AGILAS, 97-93
CEBU CITY – Defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City leaned on its trapping defense to eke out a 97-93 squeaker over the visiting Goldstar Hardware-backed Duterte Agilas-Davao Wednesday at the resumption of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Burly Eliazar Berami scored on under-goal stab with 48 seconds left to tie the count for the last time at 93-93. JR Atablanco then gave up a foul on Woodrow Enriquez, who calmly sank both free throws to push M. Lhuillier on top. In the ensuing play, M. Lhuillier turned up the defense that saw Bruce Dacia swipe away the ball for an unmolested lay-up at the 11-second mark for the final tally. The Agilas’ next offensive went to naught as Ronald Capati grabbed the defensive rebound to seal the deal.
Despite absorbing their fourth straight loss, the Agilas under acting coach Rhoel Josol continued their marked improvement, leading by as much as 16 markers in the second period, 39-23. The Agilas also dominated the second half until their endgame collapse that saw them go scoreless in the final two minutes save for Berami’s basket.
Gerry Cavan and Enriquez combined to erase M. Lhuillier’s eight-point deficit, 77-85, and knot the score at 91-91. Capati then added a slam dunk to push M. Lhuillier on top for the first time since the third period, 93-91.
Dacia topped M. Lhuillier with 19 points followed by Capati with 16. Berami scored a game-high 26 markers while Jonjon Gonzaga added 13.
M. Lhuillier of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba raised its record to 6-2, good for second place in the Visayas Division behind Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue (5-1) in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and generously supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Sulpicio Lines, Nature’s Spring Water, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Landmaster will next play the Agilas tonight at the Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Center. The Agilas end their three-game tour of the Visayas Division tomorrow against Arthro Kontra Arthritis (1-3) of Jonathan Guardo and Coach Al Solis at the New Cebu Coliseum starting at 5:30PM.

LANDMASTER RAZES AGILAS, 83-72
MANDAUE CITY – Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue roared to its fourth straight win in the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference by trouncing the visiting Goldstar Hardware-backed Duterte Agilas-Davao, 83-72, Thursday at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Center.
Affirming its status as the number one team in the league, Landmaster of Joe Soberano, Mayor Jonas Cortes and Coach Jun Tan banked on key fourth quarter baskets by Harold Santa Cruz, Mark Yee and reigning Player of the Week Mike Manigo to turn back the gritty Agilas of acting coach Rhoel Josol.
The Agilas staged a torrid third canto with Eliazar Berami frolicking in the paint and gunners Wynsjohn Te and Jonjon Gonzaga connecting from the arc to overcome a 41-47 halftime deficit and deadlock the score entering the final 10 minutes.
Still, Landmaster’s poise held sway as they outscored the Agilas when it mattered most, 24-13, for their sixth win against a solitary loss for the best record in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and bankrolled by ML Kwarta Padala, Sulpicio Lines, Nature’s Spring Water, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Landmaster also defeated the Agilas, 87-60, last October 5 at the Almendras Gym in Davao City.
The Agilas absorbed their fifth straight loss and will search for their breakthrough win at tonight against Arthro Kontra Arthritis (1-3) at the New Cebu Coliseum, the finale of their three-game swing of the Visayas Division.
Santa Cruz led Landmaster with a personal conference-high of 16 points while Yee added 13. Also knocking in double figures were Bong Marata with 12 and Richard Ian Saladaga with 10. Berami paced the Agilas with 18 followed by Te with 11 and Gonzaga 10.

ARTHRO RIPS AGILAS, 104-91
CEBU CITY – Arthro Kontra Arthritis snapped its two-game losing streak with a bang at the expense of the Goldstar Hardware-backed Duterte Agilas, 104-91, in Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conferene action Friday evening at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Jojo Omandam scored six of his nine points in the opening period as Arthro of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis raced to a 25-18 lead. The rest of the Arthro gunners took over from there as Doroteo Almacin and Jeffrey France combined for 14 markers to push Arthro further on top by halftime, 52-40.
The Agilas under Coach Rhoel Josol gamely inched their way back in the contest. Guard JR Atablanco exploded for 11 points in the final canto and Wynsjohn Te added two triples to fuel the Agilas’ late surge. However, four timely field goals by Mark Ababon helped preserve the win for Arthro.
Arthro improved its win-loss card to 2-3 while the Agilas remained winless in six starts in the tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Cokaliong Shipping, Sulpcio Lines, Reva Sandals, Accel, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
In a very balanced attack, all 11 players field by Coach Solis submitted at least seven markers led by Almacin with 14. Ababon, Ronald Bucao and Bernie Ursal followed with 11. Atablanco topped the Agilas with 15 followed by Eliazar Berami with 14 and Bob Cozy Ilanga with 13. The 104 points of Arthro bettered the previous conference high of 100 scored by Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr against the Agilas last October 8.
Arthro faces another test Monday (October 15) when they visit league leader Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue (6-1). Arthro has the distinction of inflicting Landmaster’s lone defeat in the tournament, 81-93, last September 24 at the Cebu Coliseum.

LANDMASTER GETS BACK AT ARTHRO, 83-70
MANDAUE CITY - Cebu Landmaster exacted revenge on its lone tormentor Arthro Kontra Arthritis, 83-70, last Tuesday in Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) 2007 Second Conference hostilities at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.
Veteran Bong Marata exploded for 13 points as he pushed Landmaster to a 45-28 halftime advantage. The wards of Coach Jun Tan then erected their biggest lead of the contest at 20 markers, 48-28, early in the third canto.
Arthro of sports patron Jonathan "Atan" Guardo and Coach Al Solis gamely fought back as Alex Cainglet and Mark Ababon slowly ate away at Landmaster's lead. The prolific duo accounted for 19 of Arthro's points in the third quarter to close in entering the final 10 minutes.
The rest of the Arthro crew then took over, coming to their closest at six points several times, the last coming at the 53-second mark on an Ababon free throw split. Both teams then swapped failed offensives until Mike Manigo nailed a booming triple with 19 seconds to play that assured the Landmaster win. Mark Yee added two more free throws and a dunk at the buzzer for the final tally.
Yee finished with 19 points followed by Marata with 17. Cainglet led Arthro with 23 points while Bernie Ursal added 12.
The Joe Soberano-owned franchise thus roared to its fifth consecutive victory and maintained its top ranking with a 7-1 win-loss card in the six-team league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported generously by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Arthro fell to 2-4.
Arthro welcomed the return of University of the Visayas stalwarts Rino Berame and Michael Luga to their roster. The Lancer pair played key roles in Arthro's annexation of the First Conference Visayas Division title earlier this year. However, the big crowd failed to see Gregory Slaughter after the 6'11" center was not given permission by UV officials to join the team.
How They Scored:
CEBU LANDMASTER-MANDAUE (83) -- Yee 19, Marata 17, Manigo 10, Santa Cruz 9, Ocañada 8, Saladaga 8, Nicdao 5, Gloria 5, Torion 2, Mangubat 0.

M. LHUILLIER NUMERO UNO AGAIN
CEBU CITY – Defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City wrested the top spot of the standings of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference by blowing away erstwhile leader Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue, 86-67, last Friday (October 19) at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Both teams now tote similar 7-2 win-loss cards but M. Lhuillier holds the point differential tiebreaker. The Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba avenged their 81-83 squeaker of a loss to Landmaster last September 21 in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
This time, M. Lhuillier made sure the outcome would be decided early and clearly. From a 10-10 standoff, Marlon Basco keyed a 10-4 run to give the Jewelers the lead for good after the first quarter, 20-14.
Basco continued his offensive explosion by combining with Bruce Dacia for eight of their side’s next 16 points to pull away by halftime, 36-23. Basco also shone on defense, helping limit Landmaster to only nine markers in the second canto. Landmaster gave up 17 turnovers, six short of their point total.
Landmaster of Joe Soberano, Mayor Jonas Cortes and Coach Jun Tan suddenly sprung back to life via a 16-5 salvo to open the third quarter led by Bong Marata and Richard Ian Saladaga that saw them threaten, 39-41. However, Basco found new scoring partners in Gerry Cavan and Jett Latonio to restore their comfortable lead entering the final period, 64-42.
It was smooth sailing from there as M. Lhuillier was never threatened. Danny Aying fired a triple that erected the biggest lead of the game, 71-46, early in the final period. Landmaster simply did their best to trim the final deficit behind the late forays of Marata, Christian Nicdao, Allain Abellanosa and Jimwell Torion.
The Jewelers’ victory was marred by the ejection of Cavan with 3:27 to play after he landed a cheap shot on Harold Santa Cruz that sent the Landmaster forward grimacing in pain on the floor. Overall, both teams coughed out a combined 51 turnovers, 29 against Landmaster.
Basco and Cavan led M. Lhuillier with 16 points each followed by Latonio with 12. Marata paced Landmaster with 17 while Saladaga added 14. The usually prolific pair of Mark Yee and Mike Manigo could only combine for seven points, with Manigo sustaining an ankle injury just before halftime.
The MVBA takes a break and will resume games on November 5 with Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr visiting Arthro Kontra Arthritis and the Cebu Coliseum. During the break, selected MVBA teams have been invited to see action in the Niyogan Festival Basketball Tournament in Baganga, Davao Oriental from October 23 to 27. The five-day tournament has put up a total of 280,000 pesos in cash prizes for the winners.
How They Scored:

ARTHRO ZAPS MISOR, 83-70
CEBU CITY - Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu pounced on an erratic Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr quintet to carve out an 83-70 triumph Monday night at the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Rino Berame scored six points in the last 90 seconds of the game to seal the deal for Arthro of Jonathan Guardo and Coach Al Solis, their third win in six starts. With MisOr threatening, 69-75, the 6'7" Berame received a blind pass from Ronald Bucao for an easy twinner under the basket. Berame then added two free throws and another basket to raise their lead to 12, 81-69, and less than a minute to go. A free throw by Lowell Briones and a dunk at the buzzer by Michael Luga settled the final tally.
With MisOr leading, 21-19, at the end of the first period, Arthro's defense forced MisOr to commit 10 turnovers in the second period. That resulted in a 20-5 run that erected a 13-point Arthro lead, 39-26. Halftime score was pegged at 44-33.
Not giving up easily, MisOr coach Bong Abad plucked Rocky Sanchez from the bench and the former NU Bulldog responded with a series of highlight reel plays that energized his teammates and the fans in attendance. Sanchez then joined Randy Sevilla and Briones in an 8-0 run that put MisOr at its closest, 69-75, with still 1:37 to play.
Berame finished with 12 points on top of seven rebounds. Doroteo Almacin followed with 11 points, nine in the first half. Luga, Mark Jonas Ababon and Luther Luke Justiniani all had 10 points. Sanchez scored all his 14 markers in the second half. Sevilla chipped in 13 as MisOr played without scoring leader Nathaniel Cruz who was sidelined with a back injury. MisOr dropped to 2-3 but maintained a half-game lead over the idle MP Warriors-GenSan for the top spot in the Mindanao Division standings of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

M. LHUILLIER CLINCHES TOP SEEDING
CEBU CITY - M. Lhuillier Kwarta-Cebu City clinched the best record in the classification round of the 2007Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference by holding off Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 74-69, Tuesday at the New Cebu Coliseum.
This marks the fourth time in as many conferences that the Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba have topped the league standings. M. Lhuillier tallied its eighth win in 10 games, half a game ahead of Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue. Even if Landmaster manages to win its final assignment against MisOr tonight, the Jewelers hold the tiebreaker.
MisOr of league chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad put up a gallant stand, managing to deadlock the game several times, the last at 65-65 on daredevil drive by Ramil Tagupa at the 3:08 mark. From there, M. Lhuillier's defense went to work and held MisOr scoreless while knocking in five straight free throws, 70-65. Ronald Capati then stole the MisOr inbound pass for an easy lay-up to erect an unassailable seven-point lead, 72-65, with 1:49 to play.
M. Lhuillier built its biggest lead of the game at halftime, 35-25, by scoring the half's final nine markers behind Bruce Dacia, Marlon Basco and Capati. Earlier in the first period, Capati gave the Jewelers the lead for good, 13-11, on back-to-back baskets.
Tagupa combined well with big men Frank Nailon and Randy Sevilla in constantly putting the pressure on M. Lhuillier, preventing a blowout from taking place. MisOr forced four deadlocks while cutting their deficit to a single point four times in the final period. The best M. Lhuillier could do was lead by four points, 64-60, with 4:10 to play.
Basco topped M. Lhuillier with 16 points and eight rebounds followed by Capati with 13 and Dacia with 13. Tagupa had a conference-high of 16 points on top of six assists. Nailon and Sevilla received most of Tagupa's passes en route to 14 and 13 points respectively. MisOr dropped to 2-4 to tie the idle MP Warriors-GenSan at the top of the Mindanao Division of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Cokaliong Shipping, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

LANDMASTER BURIES MISOR, 81-77
MANDAUE CITY – Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue survived an emotional battle against Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 81-77, Wednesday evening in continuing action at the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.
Landmaster led most of the way but mustered enough skills at the end to hack out the win. MisOr guard Mark Moreño canned a triple with 12 seconds left to threaten, 77-78. Michael Manigo then scored two free throws off the final foul of Mark Abadia to give Landmaster some cushion, 80-77, at the 11-second mark. Dennis Concha had the chance to win the game but his triple attempt bounced off the rim and into the waiting hands of Mark Yee, who was quickly fouled by Nathaniel Cruz. Yee sank a free throw for the final tally.
Landmaster started hot with Bong Marata and Richard Ian Saladaga combining for Landmaster’s biggest lead, 39-26, late in the second quarter. MisOr kept the pressure with timely hits from Moreño, Frank Nailon and Lowell Briones only to falter in the waning seconds of the game.
With the win, the team of Joe Soberano and Mayor Jonas Cortes equaled the 8-2 win-loss record of M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu. However, M. Lhuillier holds the tiebreaker thus sending Landmaster into a Wild Card round date with Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu. MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno dropped to 2-5, in the process allowing the 2-4 MP Warriors-GenSan a free ride to the top of the Mindanao Division standings. The playoffs of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) will commence in the third week of November also with the backing of ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Christian Nicdao scored eight of his game high 16 points in the final quarter. Marata made 13 of 16 points in the first half. Moreño paced MisOr with 14 points on four triples while Abadia finished with 13.

Landmaster led most of the way but mustered enough skills at the end to hack out the win. MisOr guard Mark Moreño canned a triple with 12 seconds left to threaten, 77-78. Michael Manigo then scored two free throws off the final foul of Mark Abadia to give Landmaster some cushion, 80-77, at the 11-second mark. Dennis Concha had the chance to win the game but his triple attempt bounced off the rim and into the waiting hands of Mark Yee, who was quickly fouled by Nathaniel Cruz. Yee sank a free throw for the final tally.
Landmaster started hot with Bong Marata and Richard Ian Saladaga combining for Landmaster’s biggest lead, 39-26, late in the second quarter. MisOr kept the pressure with timely hits from Moreño, Frank Nailon and Lowell Briones only to falter in the waning seconds of the game.
With the win, the team of Joe Soberano and Mayor Jonas Cortes equaled the 8-2 win-loss record of M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu. However, M. Lhuillier holds the tiebreaker thus sending Landmaster into a Wild Card round date with Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu. MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno dropped to 2-5, in the process allowing the 2-4 MP Warriors-GenSan a free ride to the top of the Mindanao Division standings. The playoffs of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) will commence in the third week of November also with the backing of ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

The big crowd erupted in cheers after Almacin missed his first attempt, allowing the Agilas to register their very first win in the conference after six straight losses.
The Agilas appeared headed for the easy win, leading comfortably all the way during the first three periods.

In the ensuing sequence, Mark Ababon missed two free throws off a Cruz foul. Cruz then grabbed the defensive rebound and fired a pass to a waiting Lowell Briones, who fired a corner triple that saw the ball circle the ring only to be coughed out at the buzzer.
MisOr forced the extension via a wild turn of events in the final seconds of regulation. Doroteo Almacin sank two free throws off Briones with eight ticks left to push Arthro ahead by four, 77-73. Mark Moreño then drove strong to the hoop for a twisting lay-up to close in, 75-77. Two seconds were left on the clock.
As Arthro about to put the ball in play, Bernie Ursal was tagged with an unsportsmanlike foul after he sent Moreño to the floor via a hard body check. Moreño made both charities to knot the count at 77-77 and ball possession stayed with MisOr. In the final play of regulation, the ball went to Abadia and he drove strong to the basket, only to be stopped by a wall of Arthro defenders at the buzzer.

The Warriors of boxing idol Manny Pacquiao were comfortably ahead by 26 points, 80-54, with still five minutes to play when Coach Ramon Pido slowly inserted his role players. That allowed the Goldstar Hardware-backed Agilas to take advantage and stage a blistering rally behind Boboy Berami, Bob Cozy Ilanga, Greggy Delica and Fred Sampilo that reduced the Agilas' deficit to only nine markers on a Sampilo triple with a minute to play, 76-85.
Coach Pido quickly sued for time to settle down his wards and opted to keep the same five on the floor. As play resumed, Jomer Rubi added three free throws and Miller Dennison a basket for an unassailable 90-76 Warriors' margin with 30 ticks on the clock. Delica then made back-to-back baskets and Dennison another free throw to settle the final tally.

The Agilas of Coach Rhoel Josol started well, taking the first period on the good plays of Ilanga, Jonjon Gonzaga and Dave Sagad, 21-17. The turning point of the game came in the second canto when Apol Coronado exploded for 13 markers, highlighted by back-to-back tripled that tied the score and then gave the lead to the Warriors for good, 36-33, and three minutes before the halftime break.

WARRIORS ENTER MINDANAO FINALS
KORONADAL CITY – The MP Warriors-GenSan clinched an outright berth in the Mindanao Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference with a hard-earned win over the gritty Goldstar Hardware-supported Duterte Agilas-Davao, 90-84, last Thursday (November 15) at the South Cotabato Gym and Cultural Center.
The Warriors of boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido repeated their mastery over the Agilas of Coach Rhoel Josol, who they defeated last November 13 at the Almendras Gym, 91-80. The Warriors rose to 5-4, thus snuffing the chances of Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr.

Suddenly, the Agilas awoke with Bob Cozy Ilanga leading a 12-5 run to start the final quarter capped by a Boboy Berami stab that brought the Agilas to their closest, 73-75, and 4:45 on the clock.
In the ensuing play, grizzled veteran Jomer Rubi played fireman by sinking a triple, 78-73. The Agilas then failed to score a field goal, forcing them to give up fouls to buy time. Despite another triple from Ilanga with a minute to play, 78-84, the Warriors countered with Rubi and Louie Medalla shooting well from the free throw line to preserve the win.
The Agilas had a good start, taking the first period, 20-18, with Berami hitting 10 markers. Then just like in their first meeting, Warrior Apol Coronado exploded in the second canto, clustering six unanswered points to erase a 28-32 deficit and give his side the lead for good, 34-32. Halftime was pegged at 44-37.
Jeffy Locsin scored a personal conference-high of 14 points to lead the Warriors followed by Medalla and Donald Tadena with 10 each. Berami topped the Agilas with 20 points while Fred Sampilo added 14 and Ilanga 13.
In the final game of the 30-game classification round, the Agilas face MisOr Sunday (November 18) at the Almendras Gym starting at 6:00PM.

KORONADAL CITY – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr clinched the home court advantage in the Mindanao Division Wild Card Round of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference with an inspiring 78-57 thumping of Mindanao Division leader MP Warriors-GenSan at the South Cotabato Gym and Cultural Center.

PLAYOFFS: ARTHRO SHOCKS LANDMASTER IN GAME ONE
MANDAUE CITY – An undermanned Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu pulled off an 81-74 shocker and stole the home court advantage from Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Center in Game One of the Visayas Division Wild Card Round of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference.
Landmaster was on top by two with three minutes left to play when Alex Cainglet hit a triple to give Arthro the lead for good. From there, Landmaster simply collapsed. Game Two is tentatively set for November 22 at the New Cebu Coliseum. Landmaster faces the big task of sweeping the next two games in order to advance further in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Arthro played sans big men Rino Berame and Michael Luga who had to travel to Manila with the University of the Visayas Lancers. Coach Al Solis though stayed behind and masterfully steered his crew to the win. Cainglet himself was banished from the game on fouls with a minute to play but Arthro held off Landmaster's repeated attempts to rally. Arthro outscored Landmaster in the final period, 21-14, after a 60-60 standoff after three quarters.

In the so called calm before the storm, the Agilas and MisOr gave the fans a treat with the thrilling contest. Veteran guard Anton Villoria exploded for 11 points in the fourth quarter, including seven in the final 1:45 to turn the tide in favor of MisOr. The Carcar City native buried a triple to tie the game at 80-80 and then stole the ball in the next sequence for an unmolested lay-up to give MisOr the lead for good, 82-80, and 1:04 to go.
Frank Nailon then padded MisOr's lead with two free throws off Moorice Mejorada at the 37-second mark, 84-80. Five ticks later, Boboy Berami then threatened with a put back of a missed triple by Wynsjohn Te, 82-84. Mejorada quickly fouled Ramil Tagupa, who could only make one free throw, 85-82. In the final 14 seconds of the game, Te missed a running shot to the basket and Nathaniel Cruz grabbed the defensive rebound and a quick outlet pass to Villoria for another easy lay-up to settle the final tally at the buzzer.
It was a sorry loss for the Agilas who firmly controlled the contest until Villoria's final quarter heroics. MisOr ended with a 4-6 win-loss card while the Agilas finished their schedule at 1-9. The Warriors topped the Mindanao Division at 5-5. MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno earned some consolation by sweeping all its games against its fellow Mindanao Division squads. The Warriors used three wins against Visayas Division teams to bolt to the top whereas MisOr failed to defeat a Visayan squad.

PLAYOFFS: MISOR KICKS AGILAS IN GAME ONE
DAVAO CITY – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr used a strong finishing kick to down Goldstar Hardware Duterte Agilas-Davao, 92-84, and grab Game One of the Mindanao Division Semifinals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Monday at the Almendras Gym.
Trailing by three with 5:47 left in the game, 71-74, MisOr went on a 21-4 tear powered by Anton Villoria, Ramil Tagupa, Lowell Briones and Frank Nailon. Villoria nailed a triple that gave MisOr the lead for good, 76-74, and 3:56 to play. All the Agilas could do was counter with basket and two free throws by Boboy Berami as the game was blown apart, 92-78. With the outcome settled, MisOr allowed the Agilas to score the game's final six points in the last minute of play.
A day earlier, MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno hacked a close 87-82 decision over the Agilas to close the 30-game classification round of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping,Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. Coaches Bong Abad of MisOr and Rhoel Josol of the Agilas barely had 24 hours to make adjustments.
The Agilas looked headed to grabbing the important win, leading after three periods, 67-65. Berami, Bob Cozy Ilanga and Wynsjohn Te conspired to rally the Agilas from a 40-49 halftime deficit. Ilanga and twin towers Joel Solis and James Razon then helped maintain the lead until Villoria's killer triple came. Overall, Villoria made 10 of his 12 points in the final quarter.
Game Two of the series is set for Thursday (November 22) at the Xavier University Gym. Should the Agilas win and stave off extinction, the deciding Game Three will be on Friday (November 23) also at Xavier. The winner will face the waiting MP Warriors-GenSan of Manny Pacquiao for the Mindanao Division championship.
Nailon led the way for MisOr with a personal conference-high of 20 points, followed by Briones with 18. Berami equaled his 26-point effort set against M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City last October 11. Te finished with 13 and Razon with 12, their best efforts thus far in the league.
How They Scored:
HOLCIM PRYCE-MISOR (92) – Nailon 20, Briones 18, Tagupa 13, Villoria 12, Moreño 10, Cruz 8, Numeran 4, Abadia 3, Concha 2, Sevilla 2, Sanchez 0.
DUTERTE AGILAS-DAVAO (84) – Berami 26, Te 13, Razon 12, Ilanga 9, Gonzaga 8, Solis 7, Sagad 5, Atablanco 2, Mejorada 2, Sampilo 0.
Period Scores: 26-21, 49-40, 65-67, 92-84.

PLAYOFFS: LANDMASTER STILL ALIVE, TIES SERIES
CEBU CITY – Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue forced a winner-take-all Game Three in the Visayas Division Semifinals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference with a heart-stopping 83-80 win over Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu Wednesday evening at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Firmly in control of the tempo, the wards of Joe Soberano and Coach Jun Tan managed to repel a searing rally by Arthro in the final two minutes of play. Suddenly, Arthro fell into a maze of errors and bungled several free throw attempts, preventing them from grabbing the advantage. Compounding their woes was the disqualification of prolific scorer Alex Cainglet with a minute left in the game. Arthro though had one final chance, but Ronald Bucao missed the potential game-tying triple at the buzzer.
Coach Al Solis flew in from Manila where he was with the University of the Visayas Green Lancers for a tournament, but left behind UV stalwarts Rino Berame and Michael Luga. Playing undermanned but inspired, Arthro of sports patron Jonathan Guardo looked poised to register the upset by taking the first period, 22-21. A strong second period turned the tide in favor of Landmaster who led a the half, 50-41.
Game Three is tentatively set for November 30 at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Center, with the winner going on to play M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City in the best-of-three Visayas Division Finals of the community-based league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Richard Ian Saladaga led Landmaster with 21 points followed by Michael Manigo with 19 and Mark Yee with 18. Doroteo Almacin paced Arthro with 23 markers. Marvin Mercado registered an MVBA career-best 21 points. After combining for 32 points in Game One, Cainglet and Mark Ababon were limited to only a combined 13 points.
Meanwhile, Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr and the Goldstar Hardware Duterte Agilas-Davao will play Game Two of the Mindanao Division Semifinals tonight at the Xavier University Gym. MisOr holds a 1-0 series edge and is poised to end the series. On the other hand, a win by the Agilas will set the stage for Game Three, scheduled for tomorrow at the Xavier Gym if needed. The winner will face MP Warriors-GenSan in the Mindanao Division Finals set to begin on November 29.
How They Scored:

PLAYOFFS: MISOR MAKES MINDANAO FINALS
CAGAYAN DE ORO – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr barged into the Mindanao Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Thursday night with a convincing 89-68 thumping of Goldstar Hardware Duterte Agilas-Davao at the Xavier University Gym.
MisOr of MVBA chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad thus swept the best-of-three series, 2-0. MisOr took Game One last November 19 at the Almendras Gym in Davao City, 92-84. This marks MisOr’s third straight appearance in the Mindanao Finals of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
A 13-0 bomb at the start of the final quarter was all MisOr needed to send the Agilas into extinction, 79-57, and still 5:30 to play. The Agilas trailed by as much as 15 points, 50-65, but managed to build good momentum by closing in at the end of the third period, 57-66. Sadly, that was the best the Agilas could do. Lowell Briones ignited the run with a triple and Nathaniel Cruz capped the demolition with a slam dunk.
Cruz led MisOr with 18 points. Five other MisOr players submitted double-figures in Ramil Tagupa and Jerome Numeran with 12 and Briones, Dennis Concha and reigning Player of the Week Anton Villoria with 10. Jonjon Gonzaga was the lone Agila in twin digits with 14. Boboy Berami and Joel Solis finished with nine markers each.
Game One of the best-of-three Mindanao Division Finals between MisOr and top seed MP Warriors-GenSan will be on November 29 (Thursday) at the XU Gym. The Warriors of Manny Pacquiao will host Game Two on December 1 and if needed, Game Three on December 2.
Over in the Visayas Division, top seed M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City of Michel Lhuillier will have to wait until a little longer to know their opponent in the Visayas Division Finals. The semifinal series between Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue of Joe Soberano and Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu of Jonathan Guardo is tied at 1-1. The deciding Game Three will be on December 1 at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Center. Landmaster won Game Two, 83-80, last November 21 at the New Cebu Coliseum.

PLAYOFFS: EASY WIN FOR MISOR
CAGAYAN DE ORO – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr hardly broke a sweat as they took Game One of the best-of-three Mindanao Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference via forfeiture after the MP Warriors-GenSan failed to show up on time for their game Thursday night at the Xavier University Gym.
MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad shoots for its third straight Mindanao Division Championship tomorrow (December 2) when they battle Warriors in Game Two at the Almendras Gym in Davao City.
Should the Warriors of Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido stave off elimination by winning tomorrow and leveling the series, the winner-take-all Game Three will be played Monday (December 3), at a venue to be determined.
To formalize the win, Nat Cruz tapped the jump ball to a waiting Randy Sevilla who missed a 15-foot jumper. Mark Abadia then grabbed the offensive rebound for the “winning” basket.
MisOr swept Goldstar Hardware Duterte Agilas-Davao in the Division Semifinals, 2-0, to arrange the showdown with the Warriors who earned an outright spot in the Division Finals of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

DAVAO CITY – MP Warriors-GenSan forced a winner-take-all Game Three of the Mindanao Division Finals of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference by routing Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 81-62, late Sunday evening at the Almendras Gym.
Game Three is set for tonight, still at the Almendras Gym. The winner will go on to the MVBA Finals against the Visayas Division champion tentatively set to begin on December 8 under the sanction of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
Game Three of the Visayas Division Semifinals will also be played tonight at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Center between Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue and Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu. The winner of that game will play M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu in Game One of the Visayas Division Finals tomorrow at the New Cebu Coliseum as the playoffs of the league made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature's Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball hits fever pitch.
The Warriors held MisOr nearly scoreless in the final five minutes. With the Warriors nursing a 69-60 advantage, Donald Tadena and Erian Daja combined to score the Warriors' last 12 markers and blow the game wide open. The only offense MisOr could muster was an inconsequential basket by Nat Cruz with 20 seconds to go.
Their future hanging in the balance, the Warriors of Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido raced to a 20-7 lead to begin the game behind Rolly Menor, Apol Coronado and Tadena. The Warriors led comfortably until a triple at the halftime buzzer by Cruz cut MisOr's deficit to only a point, 35-36.
MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad tasted the lead only twice, the last coming on an Anton Villoria triple early in the third canto, 40-39. Jethrone Recustodio put the Warriors on top for good with a field goal in the ensuing sequence. From there, Coronado and Tadena led the way in maintaining the Warriors' distance.
Menor topped the Warriors with 23 followed by Tadena with 14, both personal conference-highs. Coronado added 12 and Recustodio 11. Cruz paced MisOr with 15 while Villoria was the only other player in double-digits with 12.

DAVAO CITY – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr scored its third straight Mindanao Division title by hammering MP Warriors-GenSan, 77-65, in Game Three of their best-of-three series at the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Monday at the Almendras Gym.
Trailing 2-5 early in the game, Mindanao Division Most Valuable Player Lowell Briones powered an 18-3 run that gave MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad the lead for good, 20-8. Despite constant threats from the Warriors of Manny Pacquiao and Coach Ramon Pido, MisOr displayed good lead management coupled with a solid defense that disrupted the Warriors’ attacks.
The Warriors threatened for the last time at 52-55 and 7:36 left in the game. MisOr then responded with three straight baskets, 61-52. In a key point of the game, Coach Pido was slapped a technical foul for entering the court while excessively complaining. Briones canned both free throws and in the ensuing possession sank a triple to give MisOr a comfortable 66-54 advantage with still 5:05 to play. The lead would later balloon to as much as 14 points, 71-57, on another Briones triple and a basket by Ramil Tagupa at the 3:11 mark.
Briones finished with 24 points to lead the way for MisOr and secure the MVP award. Mark Moreño followed with 13 points and five steals while Tagupa had 12. Donald Tadena and Apol Coronado were the lone bright spots for the Warriors with 20 and 19 markers respectively as the rest of the team submitted below-par numbers.
MisOr now awaits the Visayas Division champion in the best-of-three MVBA Finals tentatively set for the second week of December. MisOr won the 2007 First Conference and would like to score a sweep of this year’s two conferences sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Sulpicio Lines, Accel, Cokaliong Shipping, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.

Lhuillier of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba can wrap it up while Landmaster of Joe Soberano, Mayor Jonas Cortes and Coach Jun Tan will try its best to send the series to a deciding third game on Sunday (December 9) at the Cebu Coliseum in the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
The Jewelers looked headed for the easy win, erecting a 16-point lead on a three-point play by Marlon Basco, 76-60, with 4:56 left in the fourth quarter. Suddenly, disaster struck as Landmaster unloaded an 18-2 bomb to close out regulation time, capped by back-to-back triples by Mike Manigo to tie the count at 78-78 with 13 ticks on the clock.
Coach Alcoseba designed a play for Stephen Padilla but the ball went to Jett Latonio who launched a 15-foot jumper at the buzzer hence the overtime. Landmaster actually scored the last 12 points of regulation after Jerry Cavan converted two free throws off a technical foul on the Landmaster bench for excessive complaining at the 3:40 mark, 78-66. Compounding M. Lhuillier’s woes were the disqualifications of centers Basco and Ronald Capati with still three minutes to go.
Scoreless in the first four quarters, Padilla exploded in the overtime with all his five points, topped by a triple at the 2:00 warning that shattered an 84-84 deadlock and put M. Lhuillier on top for good, 87-84. Woodrow Enriquez and Harold Santa Cruz then traded baskets. After a failed M. Lhuillier offensive, Landmaster had the chance to force a second extension but Richard Ian Saladaga missed his open triple attempt from the corner as time expired.
Capati led M. Lhuillier with 17 points followed by Basco with 15. Four other Jewelers had twin digits in Cavan with 14, Enriquez 12, Lou Gatumbato 11 and Bruce Dacia 10. Mark Yee had a monster game with 24 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in the losing effort. Saladaga added 18, Manigo 13 and Bong Marata 12.
Waiting for the series winner is Mindanao Division champion Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad. MisOr copped its third straight Mindanao title by besting the MP Warriors-GenSan, 2-1. MisOr will host the Visayas champion in Game One of the MVBA Finals next week. Game Two and if needed Game Three will be at the Visayas champion’s home venue.
How They Scored:
M. LHUILLIER-CEBU (89) – Capati 17, Basco 15, Cavan 14, Enriquez 12, Gatumbato 11, Dacia 10, Padilla 5, Rodriguez 2. Latonio 2, Bat-og 1.

PLAYOFFS: M. LHUILLIER VISAYAS KINGS AGAIN
MANDAUE CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City retained the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Visayas Division championship by outplaying archrival Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue, 73-65, Friday at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex. The Jewelers thus swept the best-of three series, 2-0. They won Game One in overtime, 89-86, last Wednesday at the New Cebu Coliseum.
The win marks M. Lhuillier’s third Visayas Division crown in four conferences thus far of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and bankrolled by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. The partnership of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba now shoots for their third MVBA title.
The best-of-three MVBA Finals between M. Lhuillier and Mindanao Division champion Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad will commence on December 12 at the Xavier University Gym in Cagayan de Oro City. Game Two will be at the Cebu Coliseum on December 14. If needed, Game Three will be played immediately on December 15, still at the Cebu Coliseum.
With team owner Joe Soberano and Mayor Jonas Cortes in attendance, Landmaster under Coach Jun Tan started hot with Bong Marata scoring 14 of the team’s first 16 points for a 16-12 lead. Suddenly, Marata pulled a leg muscle and never returned to the game. M. Lhuillier capitalized by knotting the count after one quarter, 22-22.
The M. Lhuillier defense went to work and limited Landmaster to only nine points in the second period. Still, Landmaster held a shaky 31-30 edge until Bruce Dacia scored six of the half’s final eight points to push the Jewelers on top for good, 38-31.
Dacia then joined Ronald Capati, Stephen Padilla and Woodrow Enriquez in giving M. Lhuillier its biggest lead of the contest, 57-39, late in the third canto. A triple by Mike Manigo, his only points in the game, put Landmaster closer entering the final period, 42-57.
Just like in Game One, M. Lhuillier allowed Landmaster to claw back with Harold Santa Cruz cutting the deficit to as low as six points with 11 seconds to play, 63-69. In the ensuing play, Jerry Cavan sank two free throws to ice the game, 71-63. Mark Yee and Enriquez exchanged baskets for the final tally.
Dacia led M. Lhuillier’s charge with 18 points and in the process cop the Most Valuable Player award for the Visayas Division. Dacia averaged a team-best 13.8 points in the tournament. Capati followed with 17 points. Yee topped Landmaster with 24 markers.
How They Scored:
M. LHUILLIER-CEBU (73) – Dacia 18, Capati 17, Enriquez 8, Gatumbato 7, Padilla 6, Caputolan 5, Basco 3, Cavan 3, Aying 2, Latonio 2, Bat-og 2.

Period Scores: 22-22, 38-31, 57-42, 73-65.
(M. Lhuillier wins series, 2-0)
THE FINALS: M. LHUILLIER TAKES GAME ONE, 76-75
CAGAYAN DE ORO – Ronald Capati hit a three-point shot from top of the key with nine seconds left to lift defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City past Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 76-75, and take Game One of the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Finals Wednesday evening at the Xavier University Gym.
Both teams then called their final timeouts. MisOr guard Anton Villoria drove strong to the hoop and with the defense collapsing on him dished off to an open Nat Cruz beneath the goal. Suddenly, Marlon Basco came from nowhere to block Cruz’ twisting shot and preserve the win.
M. Lhuillier averted another late game collapse. Erecting their biggest lead, 72-62, with still five minutes to play, M. Lhuillier allowed MisOr to unload 13 unanswered points capped by back-to-back baskets by Cruz with 1:44 left and MisOr ahead, 75-72.
Woodrow Enriquez managed to eke in a free throw at the 1:33 mark to close in, 73-75. A failed MisOr offensive led to Capati’s game-winning heroics. “I put a lot of heart in the shot,” said Capati who ripped off his jersey at the buzzer in celebration. “I popped out and got the ball from Woodrow and then saw my defender (Cruz) far away and the shot clock running so I decided to take it.” The College of Saint Benilde alumnus finished with nine points.
Game Two of the series is scheduled for tomorrow at the New Cebu Coliseum with M. Lhuillier of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba gunning for their third MVBA championship in four conferences of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball. If needed, Game Three will be on Saturday, still at the Coliseum.
Bruce Dacia led M. Lhuillier with 16 points followed by Enriquez with 14. Cruz paced MisOr with 20 followed by Villoria with 18. MisOr sorely missed the services of Mindanao MVP Lowell Briones who sat out the game with a fever.
MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad has a tough but attainable task ahead of them. Meeting in last year’s Second Conference finals, MisOr “stole” Game Two in Cebu, 96-84, after losing Game One at XU, 87-75. M. Lhuillier however hung on to claim Game Three and the championship, 79-71.
Meanwhile, the MVBA Christmas Tournament’s opening has been moved forward a day to December 17, still at the Coliseum. Confirmed to join are M. Lhuillier, MisOr, Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue, Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu and guest teams from Pagadian City and Tagaytay City. The tournament will run until December 21.
How They Scored:
M. LHUILLIER-CEBU (76) – Dacia 16, Enriquez 14, Gatumbato 10, Capati 9, Padilla 8, Cavan 8, Basco 4, Rodriguez 3, Caputolan 2, Latonio 2, Aying 0, Bat-og 0.

Period Scores: 22-20, 42-36, 59-52, 76-75.

THE FINALS: MISOR FORCES RUBBER MATCH, 97-94
CEBU CITY – Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr eked out a 97-94 win over defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City Friday night at the New Cebu Coliseum to level the best-of-three 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference Finals at 1-1.
The winner-take-all third match will be played tonight. M. Lhuillier won Game One, 76-75, last December 12 at the Xavier University Gym in Cagayan de Oro City. The multi-titled Jewelers are gunning for their third MVBA crown in four conferences while MisOr is looking for a back-to-back after ruling this year’s First Conference of the league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and bankrolled by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
Center Nat Cruz unloaded 12 points in the final quarter including eight out of 10 free throw attempts in the final 35 seconds to hold off the scorching M. Lhuillier comeback. With MisOr shakily on top, 94-91, Woodrow Enriquez opted to drive to the hoop and threaten for the last time with five seconds to play, 93-94. Cruz was quickly fouled but could only make one free throw for a 95-93 MisOr edge.
In the ensuing sequence, Cruz nearly turned goat as he fouled Jerry Cavan. After making his first attempt, Cavan would miss the potential equalizer and Cruz grabbed the defensive rebound plus a foul from Game One hero Ronald Capati. Cruz calmly sank both free throws for the final tally. With no timeouts left for Coach Raul Alcoseba, M. Lhuillier failed to put up a decent shot in the final two seconds of play.
MisOr controlled the entire second half after taking the lead at halftime on back-to-back baskets by Cruz and Frank Nailon, 42-40. Dennis Concha powered MisOr’s initial third period run capped by a three-point play by Ramil Tagupa that erected their biggest lead of the game, 62-50, at the 5:28 mark of the third.
Winning coach Bong Abad credited his players’ good shooting percentage and overall defensive effort that made up for their 20 turnovers versus the nine turnovers of M. Lhuillier. MisOr team owner Gov. Oscar Moreno hardly sat and paced the Coliseum stage for majority of the tense game that saw his wards shoot 34 out of 54 or 63% of their field goal attempts. On the other hand, M. Lhuillier made 30 of 65 attempts for 46%.
Cruz finished with 24 points. Mark Moreño came off the bench in the second period to pump in 11 of his 18 points. Anton Villoria added 15 and Concha 13. Enriquez led M. Lhuillier with 30 points followed by Stephen Padilla with 17 points off five triples. Jett Latonio chipped in 13 and Marlon Basco 11.
Meanwhile, the MVBA Christmas Cup will unveil this Monday at the Coliseum with M. Lhuillier, MisOr, Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue, Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu and guest teams Pagadian City and Tagaytay City. The tournament will run until December 20 and offers big cash prizes to the winners.
How They Scored:

THE FINALS: M. LHUILLIER CHAMPS AGAIN
CEBU CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City reclaimed its status as the top team in Southern Philippines by thrashing Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr, 75-62, and captured the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference late Saturday evening at the New Cebu Coliseum.
This marks the third championship in four conferences for the Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba, taking the best-of-three series, 2-1. M. Lhuillier won Game One, 76-75. MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno rebounded by taking Game Two, 97-94.
Unlike the first two games that were decided in the final seconds, this time M. Lhuillier made sure the outcome would be settled early. From a 10-10 standoff in the first quarter, Finals Most Valuable Player Bruce Dacia teamed with gunner Stephen Padilla and big man Leo Bat-og in a 14-2 run that spanned also the second period en rout to a comfortable 36-22 M. Lhuillier edge at halftime.
MisOr’s go-to guys Nat Cruz, Anton Villoria and Mark Moreño fell prey to M. Lhuillier’s tenacious defense, as they had a hard time finding their groove. The usually prolific trio could only combine for 25 markers, with Cruz hitting only nine after tallying 20 and 24 in the first two games. Overall, only six players fielded by Coach Bong Abad managed to score.
Dacia began the second half with a triple and then added three free throws off back-to-back technical fouls on MisOr’s bench for excessive complaining. Bat-og, using his veteran smarts to outplay MisOr’s younger and taller centers, knocked in back-to-back stabs for M. Lhuillier’s biggest lead of the game, 62-42, with still 6:28 to go in the third.
It was smooth sailing from there as Dacia and Padilla made key final quarter baskets to hold off all of MisOr’s attempts to cut the deficit. The final buzzer signaled a fitting ending to the successful second season of the community-based league sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring Water, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph) and Nike Basketball.
MVP Dacia finished with 18 points. Padilla followed with 16 off three triple. Averaging less than a point entering the game, Bat-og exploded for 12 points. Frank Nailon paced MisOr with 16 followed by Ramil Tagupa with 12.
Fresh from their latest conquest, M. Lhuillier leads fellow MVBA squads MisOr, Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue and Arthro Kontra Arthritis and guest teams from Tagaytay City and Zamboanga City in the six-team, four-day MVBA Christmas Cup starting tomorrow at the Coliseum. M. Lhuillier battles Tagaytay in the opener at 4:30PM followed by Landmaster’s duel with Zamboanga at 6:00PM. A simple opening ceremony will be held at 4:00PM.
How They Scored:
M. LHUILLIER-CEBU (75) – Dacia 18, Padilla 16, Batg-og 12, Enriquez 8, Capati 8, Cavan 5, Basco 4, Latonio 2, Gatumbato 1, Caputolan 1, Aying 0.

CEBU CITY – Newly-crowned Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Second Conference champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City and Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu posted convincing wins against guest teams to begin play in the 2007 MVBA Christmas League Monday night at the New Cebu Coliseum.
The Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba started slow but immediately recovered to dispose of Spring Cooking Oil-Malabon, 93-77. Arthro of sports patron Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis survived their shootout with Pagadian City, 104-91.
With Spring leading in the second period, 26-19, the Jewelers went on a 15-0 run behind the eight points of Danny Aying to grab the lead for good, 34-26. The Jewelers took the half, 43-35
M. Lhuillier then unloaded another 15-0 run anchored on the eight markers of Ronald Capati to begin the third period. Spring never recovered, allowing M. Lhuillier to post its biggest lead of the contest late in the third, 70-46. M.

Capati topped M. Lhuillier with 18 points followed by Aying and Gerry Cavan with 11 each. Villamin paced Spring with 18 while Epondulan chipped in 17 and De Castro 12.
In the second game, Arthro started strong and led all the way. Alex Cainglet scored all his seven points in Arthro’s 12-2 opening salvo. Doroteo Almacin then caught fire to push Arthro further on top after one quarter, 32-16.
Any player fielded by Coach Solis contributed as Arthro raced to its biggest lead, 53-29. Pagadian managed to inch closer at halftime, 41-58. Peter Naron then combined with Jan Philip Villaver to bring Pagadian to their closest, 55-63, and 6:02 left in the third. From there, Almacin continued his hot scoring binge, scoring Arthro’s next 11 markers for a more comfortable 74-63 edge.
Arthro simply allowed Naron to continue his scoring ways while Almacin and the rest of his mates matched every shot Pagadian could put up to notch the easy win and cap the first day of the tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Hotel Fortuna, Nature’s Spring, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph), Yayoy’s Grill and Nike Basketball.

M. LHUILLIER IN FINALS, BIG DEBUT BY MISOR
CEBU CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City barged into the finals while Holcim MoneyGram-MisOr had a rousing debut as Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) teams continued to dominate their guest teams on the second day of the 2007 MVBA Christmas League at the New Cebu Coliseum Tuesday night.
In the main game, MisOr used a strong fourth quarter to eliminate Pagadian City, 92-85. In the opener, M. Lhuillier made short work of Zamboanga City, 112-87, for the first finals seat in the tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Hotel Fortuna, Nature’s Spring Water, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph), Yayoy’s Grill and Nike Basketball.
With Pagadian threatening with a minute left, 81-83, guard Mark Moreño canned back-to-back baskets to give MisOr a six-point edge with 30 ticks remaining, 87-81. After a basket by Mark Yee, Ramil Tagupa sank two free throws followed by a three-point play by Randy Sevilla to seal the win, 92-83. A Yee basket at the buzzer settled the final count.
Pagadian was leading after three periods, 69-65, thanks to the 12-point effort of center Mark Benitez in the third. MisOr of Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad used a 12-2 run to begin the fourth quarter behind Moreño, Tagupa and Sevilla to take the lead for good, 77-71.
Rocky Sanchez led MisOr with 20 points while Moreño followed with 15 and Sevilla 13. Pagadian dropped out of contention with its second straight loss despite the 22 markers of Benitez and 16 from Rick Quilo.
Earlier, M. Lhuillier breezed to its second straight win and a spot in the finals. The visiting Latinos managed to lead briefly early in the game, 7-2. From there, it was an all-M. Lhuillier show as Marlon Basco, Bruce Dacia and Ronald Capati took turns at punishing the Latinos and grabbing the lead for good, 11-10. Jayford Rodriguez then came off the bench to push the Jewelers further on top after the first period, 28-17
Every player fielded by Coach Raul Alcoseba contributed as the lead ballooned further and further. A triple by Gerry Cavan gave M. Lhuillier its first taste of a 25-point margin halfway through the final quarter, 92-67, a margin they maintained until the final buzzer.
Former College of Saint Benilde Blazers Lou Gatumbato and Capati topped M. Lhuillier with 14 points each. Cavan added 12 and Dacia 11. Overall, nine M.

MISOR GETS REMATCH WITH M. LHUILLIER
CEBU CITY – Holcim MoneyGram-MisOr booked a rematch with Second Conference tormenter M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City for the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Christmas League crown Wednesday at the New Cebu Coliseum.
MisOr of league chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad went through anxious moments before beating Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu of Jonathan “Atan” Guardo and Coach Al Solis, 93-88.
Trailing by 10 after three quarters, 60-70, MisOr went on a 13-1 run powered by Ramil Tagupa and Rocky Sanchez to go ahead, 73-71. Ronald Bucao then gave the lead back to Arthro for the last time via a triple, 74-73, and still 6:53 to play.
Tagupa restored the lead to MisOr for good ten seconds later on two out of three free throws off an Ariel Mepaña foul, 75-74. In the key point of the game, the Arthro bench was slapped a technical foul for excessive complaining. Tagupa dutifully made both free throws and in the ensuing possession banged in a triple for an 80-74 MisOr lead and 6:12 to go.
Mepaña and Alex Cainglet banged back-to-back triples to threaten for the last time, 82-85, and 1:47 remaining. Sanchez cooled Arthro’s rush with an acrobatic drive in the next sequence, 87-82.
Forced to resort to fouling to buy time, Arthro never recovered as Sanchez continued to wax hot from the field and the foul line to preserve the win. The former National University Bulldog accounted for nine points in the final five minutes of the contest.
MisOr actually started slow, trailing after the first period, 10-20. Sanchez and Tagupa rallied MisOr but they allowed Arthro to score the last seven points of the first half for a 37-37 deadlock. In the third quarter, Bernie Ursal, Doroteo Almacin and Mark Ababon took turns in pushing Arthro to a 70-60 advantage entering the final canto.
Sanchez led MisOr in scoring for the second straight game with 26 points. Tagupa followed with 22. Almacin paced Arthro with 16 while twin towers Mepaña and Rino Berame had 14 markers each.
In the first game, Spring Cooking Oil-Malabon clipped fellow guest team Zamboanga Latinos, 88-80, to earn to right to face Arthro for Third Place. The Third Place game as well as the MisOr-M. Lhuillier finale will be played tonight at the Coliseum with the champion bringing home 100,000 pesos in the tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Hotel Fortuna, Nature’s Spring Water, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph), Yayoy’s Grill and Nike Basketball.

Are there college players playing in the MVBA? Similar to the PBL?
I thought Bruce Dacia was playing in the PBA?
is the MVBA going to merge with NBC for LIGA Pilipinas? How true is that? When does it start? is the old PBA commish going to run it?
MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR M. LHUILLIER
CEBU CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City added one more trophy to its already huge collection by grabbing the 2007 Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Christmas League at the expense of Holcim MoneyGram-MisOr, 101-97, Thursday at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Nursing a precarious four-point edge entering the final quarter, 71-67, the Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba turned to Bruce Dacia and big men Ronald Capati and Marlon Basco to erect an 11-point lead entering the last two minutes, 93-82.
MisOr did not give up as Ramil Tagupa nailed back-to-back triples to close in by five markers with a minute left, 88-93. However, back-to-back lay-ups by Basco and Dacia sealed the deal with 30 ticks remaining, 97-88.
M. Lhuillier raced to a 17-5 lead to begin the ballgame behind Stephen Padilla. MisOr of league chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno and Coach Bong Abad fought gallantly as Lowell Briones joined Tagupa, Frank Nailon and Rocky Sanchez in keeping M. Lhuillier in check.
Briones gave MisOr its last taste of the lead via a triple midway in the third canto, 59-58. M. Lhuillier’s Danny Aying reclaimed the lead for good on a triple in the ensuing play, 61-59.
Woodrow Enriquez and Dacia led M. Lhuillier with 16 points each followed by Padilla with 15. Tagupa paced MisOr with 24, 14 coming in the final canto. Briones added 22 and Sanchez 16.
The well-played game was marred by a scuffle that led to the ejection of Jerome Numeran and Leo Bat-og with 22 seconds left in the third period. Both bruisers got entangled as they tried to rebound a missed Sanchez free throw. That left Coach Abad with only eight active players as the rest of the team was nursing various ailments.
The Christmas League, a fitting end to the MVBA’s second season of play, was sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and made possible by ML Kwarta Padala, Nature’s Spring, Hotel Fortuna, Accel, Reva Sandals, Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph), Yayoy’s Grill and Nike Basketball.
BAP-SBP Cebu head Lorenzo Chao Sy and Boljoon Mayor Deogenes Derama awarded the trophies and cash prizes to the winners. M. Lhuillier took home 100,000 pesos while MisOr settled for 50,000 pesos.
Earlier, guest team Spring Cooking Oil-Malabon walked away with Third Place and the 30,000-peso prize after Commissioners Jose Murillo and Willy Generalao cancelled their game against Arthro Kontra Arthritis-Cebu after a post-game scuffle last Wednesday.
After MisOr defeated Arthro to advance to the finals, assistant coach Jojo Lozano entered the referees’ room and attacked referee Raleigh Relator and threatened to kill all the referees. Relator was the official who called a technical foul on the Arthro bench for complaining that ultimately led to their 88-93 defeat.
Relator and the other referees will press criminal, civil and administrative charges against Lozano, an elected barangay councilor in Labangon. The referees immediately proceeded to the nearby police precinct to have the incident recorded on the blotter. Lozano also faces a permanent ban from the MVBA and other BAP-SBP-sanctioned activities because of Wednesday’s incident.
How They Scored:
M. LHUILLIER-CEBU (101) – Enriquez 16, Dacia 16, Padilla 15, Capati 14, Basco 11, Cavan 11, Aying 8, Bat-og 5, Gatumbato 3, Latonio 2.
HOLCIM MONEYGRAM-MISOR (94) – Tagupa 24, Briones 22, Sanchez 16, Nailon 15, Sevilla 6, Apepe 5, Moreño 4, Jabagat 2, Numeran 0.
Period Scores: 29-25, 49-45, 71-67, 101-94.

Lessons learned, MVBA finds stability
THE year 2007 will probably best remembered as the year that parity began to establish itself in the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA).
After a highly-successful debut season in 2006 that saw the multi-titled M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City Jewelers sweep not just both regular conferences but also all the short-term invitational tournaments organized by the MVBA, cracks in their armor began to surface and the other MVBA teams did not waste time to capitalize.
The year began with M. Lhuillier ruling the four-team Governor Oscar Moreno Cup at the Xavier University Gym in Cagayan de Oro City from January 26 to 30.
M. Lhuillier defeated host team Holcim Pryce Pharma-MisOr in the one-game finale, 72-67, thus avenging their 80-85 defeats to MisOr in the classification round.
Less than a month later, it was the turn of Cebu City to host the five-team Cebu City Charter Cup from February 19 to 23. Using a unique double-elimination format, the Jewelers breezed its way into the final game against newcomer Heartvit-Tribu Guardo. Heartvit had to fight its way from the losers' bracket and their hard work was rewarded with an 84-83 upset of the Jewelers in the championship.
Only four teams would sign up for the 2007 First Conference-Heartvit renamed as Arthro Kontra Arthritis, M. Lhuillier, MisOr and the Iligan Archangels-that opened on March 26 at the XU Gym.
Since a lot of MVBA personalities behind all four teams were running in the May elections, the conference had to take several extended breaks. With all the post-election business finally over by June 1, the conference resumed with the playoffs.
Arthro made history by ending M. Lhuillier's regime in the Visayas Division, beating them in Game Three at the San Carlos Gym, 87-82. The gritty Archangels, prevailing in the double-overtime Game Three, 99-92, also stretched MisOr to three games.
MisOr went on to be the first Mindanao Division team to win a regular conference title, sweeping Arthro in two games. MisOr needed an overtime to take Game One, 74-71, at XU. The title came three days later at the Cebu Coliseum, 74-65.
MisOr center Frank Nailon earned the nod as conference Most Valuable Player.
With only nine days to rest, MisOr joined M. Lhuillier and Iligan in the first Talk N Text Invitational from June 24 to 28. Touted as the toughest Cebu tournament in recent years, the tournament attracted two reinforced teams from the Metro Manila's Philippine Basketball League, Dazz Sang Patak and Burger King.
M. Lhuillier scored redemption from its first conference debacle by annexing the title at the expense of Dazz, 80-75. Veteran Danny Aying was chosen as MVP in the first provincial tournament under the aegis of the newly minted Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
One thing that MVBA teams have proven in 2007 was their continuing superiority over guest teams from Manila and other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao, a testament of the high level of competition in the league.
The MVBA went on a midyear break to give way to the college basketball season.
By September, it was back in business with the Hotel Fortuna Cup from the third to the sixth.
After a one-conference leave, MVBA pioneer Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue served notice of its comeback by beating Arthro in the title game, 85-77. Richard Ian Saladaga was named as tournament MVP.
Landmaster continued its winning ways come the second conference by tying M. Lhuillier for the best win-loss record at 8-2. Still, M. Lhuillier went on to advance to the conference finals.
Aside from Landmaster, the second conference saw the return of the MP Warriors-GenSan into the MVBA fold while welcoming expansion team Duterte Agilas-Davao.
MisOr scored a Mindanao three-peat after disposing of the Agilas and the Warriors in succession. It was a familiar refrain in the final series as M. Lhuillier emerged victorious in three games, 2-1. Bruce Dacia notched his first MVBA MVP citation.
Finally, the Jewelers added another trophy just before the year drew to a close, the MVBA Christmas Cup over MisOr, 101-94, last December 20 at the Coliseum.
With its second season in the bag, the momentum and lessons learned should augur well for the third MVBA season in 2008. The first two seasons were charged to the learning and growing process.
Now, the MVBA has found stability and with the lessons learned will continue to be the basketball force in Southern Philippines.

SINULOG CUP RETURNS JANUARY 27
CEBU CITY – To kick off its third season this 2008, the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) will revive the Sinulog Cup basketball tournament from January 27 to 31, 2008 at the New Cebu Coliseum.
Defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City heads a crack roster of teams that include the Pharex Medics and Toyota-Balintawak Road Kings from Metro Manila’s Philippine Basketball League (PBL) and the multi-titled University of the Visayas Lancers. Also in the mix is another Metro Manila-based team, Fifth Avenue Telecoms, champions of the Millennium Basketball League (MBL). Organizers are waiting for confirmation from one more team in order to complete a six-team cast.
Realizing the extreme competitiveness of the tournament, all teams have tinkered with their rosters to assure fans of high-level plays in the games sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
M. Lhuillier coach Raul Alcoseba has enlisted former Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue guard Dale Singson while reactivating Cebu’s back-to-back college MVP Enrico Llanto, swingman Nino Ramirez and center Ariel Mepana from their reserve list. Singson is expected to provide veteran stability to the plays while youngsters Llanto, Ramirez and Ramirez will give the much needed energy boost.
The Lancers’ participation will be bankrolled by businessman Lorenzo Chao Sy of Hotel Fortuna and La Fortuna Bakery. Coach Elmer Cabahug plans to add some UV alumni to the roster in order to be competitive against their much older rivals.
Pharex of Coach Carlo Tan is coming off a credible debut PBL conference wherein they reached the quarterfinals. Toyota-Balintawak under Coach Ariel Vanguardia, was a semifinalist in the last PBL conference, ironically eliminating the Medics to advance. The PBL teams are in the process of finalizing their rosters to be submitted later this week.
Fifth Avenue saw action in the recent Zheng Cheng Gong Cup in China last month where they landed in fourth place. Unlike in China where they played with a depleted roster, the wards of playing coach Junel Mendiola will come in full force led by Cebuanos Braulio Lim and Roberts Labagala, Ronnie Zagala of Sultan Kudarat plus former Landmaster Mark Yee of Bacolod City.
A fixture in past Sinulog Festivals, the tournament is making a return after a three-year absence. It was last staged in 2005 with M. Lhuillier winning the crown at the expense of the Quezon Coco Huskers, 97-87.

M. LHUILLIER, FIFTH AVENUE WIN OPENERS
CEBU CITY – Defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City and Fifth Avenue Telecoms registered contrasting wins to begin the 2008 M. Lhuillier Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Sinulog Cup at the New Cebu Coliseum Sunday night (January 27).
M. Lhuillier routed the Toyota-Balintawak Road Kings, 106-86, while Fifth Avenue escaped with a 112-110 thriller against the Pharex Medics in the tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
Fifth Avenue led by much as 19 markers in the third canto, 70-5. The Medics then rallied in fourth behind a rain of triples from Jam Alfad, Sean Co and Ronnie Bughao. Don Villamin capped the rally with another triple and then forced a steal that led to a quick assist to Alfad for the go-ahead basket with 1:44 to go. 104-103.
Jeff Sanders bailed out Fifth Avenue with a three-point play off Jeff de Guzman, 106-104. Pharex failed to score in the ensuing minute, allowing Ronnie Zagala to knock in an insurance jumper with 38 ticks on the clock, 108-104.
Pharex still hung tough as Villamin added two more triples, closing in by a point with three seconds left, 110-111. Mark Yee was quickly fouled, making one free throw for the final tally. Alfad grabbed the defensive rebound off Yee's second free throw but Pharex failed to put up a decent shot.
Sanders led Fifth Avenue with 20 points followed by Zagala and Allan Salangsang with 18 each. Villamin paced Pharex with 21 markers while Alfad added 19.
Nursing a shaky 77-68 lead after three periods, M. Lhuillier delivered the knockout blow with a 15-0 run starring Bruce Dacia and Enrico Llanto to begin the final period, 92-68. The Road Kings never recovered from there as the Jewelers coasted to the win.
The Road Kings led at the halftime break, 44-43, with Frederick Rodriguez and Patrick Cabahug leading the charge. A seesaw battle ensued in the third quarter marked by nine lead changes. Back-to-back field goals by Jerry Cavan and Marlon Basco restored the lead back to the Jewelers for good, 60-57.
Stephen Padilla fired six triples en route to 20 points to top the Jewelers. Woodrow Enriquez followed with 17. Rodriguez topped the Road Kings with 15 while Cabahug and Erwin Santa Maria chipped in 10 each.

TWO OVERTIME GAMES ON DAY TWO
CEBU CITY –Both games needed an extra period in the thrilling second day of the M. Lhuillier Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Sinulog Cup Monday night at the New Cebu Coliseum.
In the first game, defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City leaned the heroics of Dale Singson to whip Montaña Pawnshop-Davao, 116-107. In the second game, it was the turn of Ferdinand Go to bail out Fifth Avenue Telecoms and beat Hotel Fortuna-Boljoon, 103-99.
Monday’s winners remained undefeated in two games and thus earned automatic seats in Wednesday’s crossover semifinals of the tournaments sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).
Singson hit a booming triple with six seconds to play in regulation that tied the count at 100-100. In the extension, Singson sizzled with five markers and Marlon Basco shot steadily from the foul line and completed a three-point play off Harold Santa Cruz with 1:28 remaining for an unassailable 113-107 M. Lhuillier advantage.
M. Lhuillier of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba actually rallied from five points down with 37 seconds left in regulation. Former M. Lhuillier stalwart Michael Manigo canned two free throws off Bruce Dacia for a 100-95 tally. Singson quickly scored a basket to threaten, 97-100, and the Jewelers immediately sent Montaña center Arden Guiyab to the stripe at the 14-second mark. Guiyab bungled both shots to set the stage for Singson’s game-tying triple.
Basco and Dacia shared scoring honors for M. Lhuillier with 24 points each. Henry Fernandez powered Montaña of Armando Quibod and Coach Nic Serafica with 32 points while Ryan Abañes was the only other player in double figures with 15.
In the second game, Go nearly turned goat as he missed a free throw with 22 ticks left in regulation to keep Fifth Avenue ahead, 89-86. In the ensuing sequence, Morsie Akad converted a triple at the 10-second mark to send the game into overtime, 89-89.
In the overtime, the Hotel Fortuna quintet of Coach Elmer Cabahug opened with an 8-0 run. However, Fifth Avenue countered with a 9-0 run of their own capped by Go redeeming himself with a triple that pushed his side on top for, 100-97, and 28 seconds left.
Hotel Fortuna did not give up, with Von Harry Lanete threatening with two charities off Jeff Sanders, 99-100. Chris Diputado then fouled Mark Yee at the nine-second mark and the gamble paid off as Yee split his gift shots, 101-99. Collaring the defensive rebound and a golden chance to tie or go ahead, Hotel Fortuna issued a wild pass that sailed out of bounds. Yee was again fouled and this time made both free throws for the final count.
Yee and Sanders topped Fifth Avenue of Mike Dullas and playing coach Junel Mendiola with 18 points each. Akad paced Hotel Fortuna with 20 markers followed by Rino Berame with 19 points and 11 rebounds. The game also marked the commercial league debut of 6’11” Gregory Slaughter, who was part of the starting five and finished with four points.

the only good thing about the PBL is the tv exposure plus the fact that best college hoops players in UAAP and NCAA strut their wares in that league. cebu is so far the best place to play basketball outside of metro manila although their leagues are short except for the MVBA.

PBL TEAMS SURVIVE DAY THREE BRUISERS
CEBU CITY – Teams from Metro Manila’s Philippine Basketball League (PBL) survived their respective bruising knockout matches Tuesday and advance to the crossover semifinals of the 2008 M. Lhuillier Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Sinulog Cup at the New Cebu Coliseum.
The Pharex Medics routed Hotel Fortuna-Boljoon, 107-79, while the Toyota-Balintawak Road Kings tripped Montaña Pawnshop-Davao in the nightcap, 97-95. The Medics will face defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City while the Road Kings drew Fifth Avenue Telecoms in the semifinals today (January 30).
Guard Pocholo Villanueva essayed a superb performance down the stretch to lift the Road Kings of Coach Ariel Vanguardia. Villanueva intercepted the ball and was promptly fouled with nine seconds to play, sinking both freebies to push the Road Kings further ahead, 95-91. Roland Lamocha scored on a follow-up of a Marvin Poloyapoy missed triple to threaten for the last time, 93-95. In the ensuing sequence, Villanueva drew a foul from Poloyapoy and then iced the game with two more charities and four ticks remaining, 97-93. Rocky Clavel settled the final score with a lay-up at the buzzer.
The good game was marred by a bench-clearing rumble with 3:01 left in the third quarter and the Road Kings comfortably on top, 68-54. Jonathan Aldave and Ryan Abañes wrestled for position while waiting for a rebound play resulting in both guards falling to the floor, triggering the melee. Timely intervention by MVBA officials prevented the incident from blowing up any further. Aldave and Abañes were immediately thrown out from the game.
Fired up, Montaña of Armando Quibod and Coach Nic Serafica rallied and seized the lead on a reverse lay-up by Michael Manigo with 2:50 left in the final canto, 86-85. Their celebration was short-lived as Frederick Rodriguez restored the lead to the Road Kings and Villanueva stole the inbound pass en route to an easy lay-up for an 89-86 advantage. In ensuing lull, Henry Fernandez was slapped with a technical foul for elbowing Villanueva in the previous sequence, sending him to the foul line for two more free throws, 91-86, and 2:11 to play.
Villanueva led the Road Kings with 17 points, 12 coming in the crucial fourth quarter. Bryan Faundo followed with 11. Lamocha paced Montaña with 22 points while Clavel added 11.
The first game also had its share of action. With 4:53 to go in the second period, Randy Sevilla bit into a fake by Jam Alfad, resulting in Sevilla planting an elbow that opened a cut on the Pharex enforcer’s head. Alfad reacted by pushing Sevilla, prompting both referees to slap disqualifying fouls on the two. The Medics of Coach Carlo Tan were on top, 37-23. As both teams were exiting towards their dugouts for the halftime break, Alfad rushed to Sevilla. Luckily for both, Pharex and MVBA officials quickly restrained Alfad.
The Medics blew the game wide open in the third quarter, erecting their first 20-point margin, 65-45, on back-to-back baskets by Sean Co. Hotel Fortuna coach Elmer Cabahug then turned to Restycel Getubig and 6’11” Gregory Slaughter to keep their side in contention.
Slaughter opened the fourth quarter with a three-point play that put Hotel Fortuna at its closest, 64-74. However, the Medics countered with a 13-0 blast that delivered the knockout blow, 87-64, and still 6:30 on the clock.
Richard Ian Saladaga paced Pharex with 20 markers followed by Ronnie Matias with 13. Getubig, a Cagayan de Oro Rapid during the MVBA’s maiden season, led Hotel Fortuna with 21 while Slaughter knocked in 14.
How They Scored:

M. LHUILLIER, FIFTH AVENUE ADVANCE TO SINULOG FINALS
CEBU CITY – It will be defending champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City versus Fifth Avenue Telecoms for the championship of the 2008 M. Lhuillier Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Sinulog Cup after both squads disposed of their semifinal opponents Wednesday at the New Cebu Coliseum.
M. Lhuillier eliminated the Pharex Medics, 108-94, while Fifth Avenue barely scraped past the Toyota-Balintawak Road Kings, 97-92. Both teams also remained the only undefeated teams in the tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) and supported by ML Kwarta Padala, Hotel Fortuna and Gameface.Ph (http://www.gameface.ph).
Fifth Avenue looked well on their way to registering the easy win, leading by as much as 19 points, 88-69, and only 3:15 on the clock. Suddenly, Erwin Santa Maria drilled in a triple to signal the Road King’s surge that resulted in a 21-5 run highlighted by three treys en route to 11 points by Paul Guerrero that cut the deficit to only three, 90-93, and 21 ticks remaining.
The Road Kings quickly fouled Ronnie Zagala, who made both his free throws to pad Fifth Avenue’s lead, 95-90. The Road Kings then fired two missed triples before Chito Jaime opted for an easy under-goal stab off an offensive rebound, 92-95. Zagala was suddenly left unguarded to receive the outlet pass for an unmolested lay-up at the buzzer.
Fifth Avenue, champions of Metro Manila’s Metro Basketball League (MBL), made their move in the second period as the quartet of Zagala, Ferdinand Go, Al Vergara and Braulio Lim peppered the Road Kings en route to a 40-26 advantage. The Road Kings of Coach Ariel Vanguardia clawed back to close in at halftime, 36-47.
Zagala finished with 18 points for Fifth Avenue of Mike Dullas and playing coach Junel Mendiola. Vergara followed with 17. Guerrero topped the Road Kings with 16 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter. Santa Maria added 16 as the Road Kings scored 40 in the final canto alone.
After a slow start, the multi-titled Jewelers of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba buckled down to business in the second half, erecting a 19-point lead with still six minutes to play, 89-70, on baskets by Bruce Dacia and Enrico Llanto.
Pharex of Coach Carlo Tan suddenly awoke behind five straight points by Richard Ian Saladaga followed by three straight triples by Emmerson Oreta that put them at their closest, 86-93, and 3:08 to go. However, Dacia, Woodrow Enriquez and Jayford Rodriguez defused the Medics’ rally with a 15-8 M. Lhuillier run to close the game.
Dacia led M. Lhuillier with 20 points followed by Enriquez with 19 points. Jam Alfad and Oreta paced Pharex with 16 markers each.
Toyota-Balintawak and Pharex will dispute Third Place in all-Philippine Basketball League (PBL) showdown. Also competing in the five-day tournament were Montaña Pawnshop-Davao of Armando Quibod and Coach Nic Serafica and Hotel Fortuna-Boljoon composed of past and present University of the Visayas Lancers under Coach Elmer Cabahug and supported by Lorenzo Chao Sy and Mayor Deogenes Derama.

M. LHUILLIER SCORES SINULOG GRAND SLAM
CEBU CITY – M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City crushed Fifth Avenue Telecoms, 83-78, to annex the 2008 M. Lhuillier Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) Sinulog Cup Thursday evening at the New Cebu Coliseum.
The team of Michel Lhuillier and Coach Raul Alcoseba ended the five-day tournament sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) undefeated. This also marks the third straight Sinulog Cup won by the Jewelers, taking the trophy in 2004 and 2005. No Sinulog Cups were held in 2006 and 2007.
Fifth Avenue of Mike Dullas and playing coach Junel Mendiola started hot, 21-9, behind the 12 points of Ronnie Zagala. Four points by Dale Singson closed out the quarter but Fifth Avenue stayed on top, 21-13.
M. Lhuillier made its move in the second quarter as Marlon Basco and Bruce Dacia started to puncture the hoop. Basco finally gave M. Lhuillier its first taste of the lead via a three-point play off Mark Yee with two seconds left in the first half, 39-36.
In the third canto, Stephen Padilla hit back-to-back triples and center Ronald Capati submitted all his nine markers as M. Lhuillier maintained its double-digit lead. Dacia and Basco continued to mock the defense thrown against them.
Almost every player on M. Lhuillier’s deep roster contributed. Padilla scored on a two-handed drive to erect an 11-point advantage entering the final two minutes, 83-72. Although the Jewelers failed to score from there, time was not on the side of Fifth Avenue.
For their outstanding overall play during the tournament, Dacia and Woodrow Enriquez shared Most Valuable Player honors, the first time such happened in an MVBA tournament. Dacia led all scorers with 20 points followed by Basco with 12. Al Vergara topped Fifth Avenue with 14 while Yee added 13.
BAP-SBP Cebu head Lorenzo Chao Sy awarded the trophy and the 100,000-peso cash prize to the champion Jewelers. Fifth Avenue, champions of Metro Manila’s Metro Basketball League (MBL), went home with 50,000 pesos.
Earlier in the day, the Toyota-Balintawak Road Kings walloped the Pharex Medics to take Third Place and the 30,000-peso prize, 106-98.
Patrick Cabahug exploded for 24 markers while Paul Guerrero and Bryan Faundo chipped in 14 each for the Road Kings. Ronnie Bughao drilled in 21 points for the Medics followed by Emmerson Oreta with 19. The Medics took home 20,000 pesos.

M. LHUILLIER TO TEST TALK 'N TEXT
CEBU CITY – Southern Philippine’s top ball club the M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City Jewelers of the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) will test the Talk ‘N Text Phone Pals off the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) in a goodwill game tonight (February 21) at the New Cebu Coliseum. Tip-off is at 7:00 PM.
The game is part of the celebrations of the 71st year of the Cebu City Charter and is held in cooperation with the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) through its president Manuel V. Pangilinan and Visayas area head Michel J. Lhuillier. Both gentlemen are also the owners of the competing teams.
The game marks the first time new Phone Pals coach Vincent “Chot” Reyes will call the shots in a public game since taking over from Frederick Pumaren. Coach Reyes will match wits against the multi-titled Coach Raul Alcoseba. Ironically, assisting Coach Alcoseba will be Coach Reyes’ brother Mike Reyes, adding twist to the interesting coaching battle.
M. Lhuillier is no pushover, as its roster is loaded with former PBA players in Bruce Dacia, Stephen Padilla, Danny Aying, Leo Bat-og, Dale Singson, Marlon Basco, Ronald Capati, guest player Don Camaso and rookie free agent Woodrow Enriquez. Completing the roster are rising stars Jayford Rodriguez, Enrico Llanto and Jerry Cavan.
Talk ‘N Text, coming off a disappointing PBA Philippine Cup performance were they got the early boot in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, will be lead by point guard Jimmy Alapag and shooters Renren Ritualo and Mark Cardona. Also on the roster of the Phone Pals is Egay Billones, who played for the MVBA’s Cebu Landmaster quintet in 2006.
The rest of the Phone Pals are Yousif Aljamal, Ali Peek, Miguel Noble, Felix Belano, Kalani Ferreria, Yancy de Ocampo, Don Allado, Harvey Carey and Anthony Washington.
The Jewelers hope to rise above their 1-1 win-loss slate against PBA teams. In August of 2006, the Jewelers shocked the Santa Lucia Realtors, 82-69, at the Cebu Coliseum. A month later, they lost to the San Miguel Beermen, 91-97, in a charity game organized by Dondon Hontiveros.

M. LHUILLIER TO HOST BARANGAY GINEBRA
CEBU CITY – Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) champion M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu City Jewelers will host another club from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), no less than the pro league’s most popular team the Barangay Ginebra Kings, in an exhibition game today (March 3) at the New Cebu Coliseum. Game time is at 6:30 PM.
Local fans are in for a treat as the Gin Kings of Coach Joseph Uichico will go all out behind the explosive backcourt rotation of Mark Caguioa, Anthony Helterbrand, Ronald Tubid and Johnny Abarrientos plus the tall frontline of Eric Menk, Rafi Reavis and Billy Mamaril.
Completing the Kings’ roster are shooters Sunday Salvacion and Mark Macapagal, guards Paul Artadi and Macky Escalona, forwards Vic Pablo and JR Aquino and center Gilbert Lao. The team manager is the charismatic Avelino “Samboy” Lim, who once played for the Jewelers during his amateur days.
Ginebra's Vis-Min talents are Tubid of Iloilo and Salvacion of Surigao del Sur. Furthermore, Fil-Ams Menk and Reavis trace their roots to Samar and South Cotabato respectively.
M. Lhuillier of Coach Raul “Yayoy” Alcoseba and Michel Lhuillier will try their best to even their recent win-loss record against PBA squads at 2-2. Last February 23, M. Lhuillier bowed to the Talk ‘N Text Phone Pals, 97-101, in a tightly-contested match.
Their lone win came against the Santa Lucia Realtors in August of 2006, 82-69. They then lost to the San Miguel Beermen (now Magnolia Beverage Masters) a couple of weeks later, 91-97.
Coach Alcoseba has recruited American Michael LeBlanc to bolster his side’s chances. The 6'7" LeBlanc is 29 years old and played varsity ball at the University of Connecticut, Vanderbilt and Houston Baptist. He has experience playing as an import in Slovenia and hopes to make a PBA team in the coming Reinforced Conference.
Aside from LeBlanc, the Jewelers will rely heavily on their veteran-laden roster led by Woodrow Enriquez, who torched the Phone Pals with 24 markers. Also seen to play key roles are gunners Stephen Padilla and Bruce Dacia, guard Dale Singson and centers Marlon Basco, Ronald Capati and Leo Bat-og.
Basco and teammate Danny Aying had brief stints with Barangay Ginebra several years ago and are raring to play well against their one-time employer. The rest of the M. Lhuillier roster is composed of former Cebu college MVP's Jayford Rodriguez, Enrico Llanto and Jerry Cavan.
The proceeds of the game will go the projects of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP) for the Visayas where Lhuillier and Alcoseba are members of the Board of Trustees.

Jewelers suffer heart-breaking defeat against Gin Kings
Cebu Daily News
First Posted 14:26:00 03/04/2008
Rafi Reavis dealt M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala its second straight painful defeat against a PBA team, sinking a mid-range jumper with eight-tenths of a second left to help the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings survive the Jewelers, 92-90, on Monday night in their exhibition game at the jam-packed Cebu Coliseum.
The Jewelers, who lost to the Talk ‘N Text Phone Pals on January 21, 101-97, rallied from double-digit deficits and tied the contest at 90-all in the final 12.2 seconds on two free throws by Woodrow Enriquez.
Coming off a timeout, the Kings inbounded the ball to Reavis at the midcourt. Guarded by Marlon Basco, Reavis dribbled the time away and drove to his right.
The ball was partially deflected away from his hands but the lanky center managed to recover the leather before pulling up for the game-winning basket.
Out of timeout, Stephen Padilla was forced to launch a long shot that hit nothing but air, sealing the Jewelers' downfall.
The Kings had a balanced attack with five players scoring in double figures and four others scoring at least six points.
Reavis only had four markers but made the biggest basket of the night.
Rodney Santos topped the Kings with 13 points, Ronald Tubid added 11, while Sunday Salvacion, Alex Crisano and Victor Pablo contributed 10 apiece.
Import Michael Jamaar Le Blanc had a decent outing for the Jewelers, firing a game-high 25 points on an eight-of-17 shooting from the field.
The biggest disappointment of Le Blanc's game is his defense and his stamina as he was probably affected by the venue's humid atmosphere.

Out of timeout, Stephen Padilla was forced to launch a long shot that hit nothing but air, sealing the Jewelers' downfall.
The Kings had a balanced attack with five players scoring in double figures and four others scoring at least six points.
Reavis only had four markers but made the biggest basket of the night.
Rodney Santos topped the Kings with 13 points, Ronald Tubid added 11, while Sunday Salvacion, Alex Crisano and Victor Pablo contributed 10 apiece.
Import Michael Jamaar Le Blanc had a decent outing for the Jewelers, firing a game-high 25 points on an eight-of-17 shooting from the field.
The biggest disappointment of Le Blanc's game is his defense and his stamina as he was probably affected by the venue's humid atmosphere.

i just noticed someone: crisano. is he cleared to play already?
why is it that ML don't want to join the PBL. they have to prove that they are for real. if they had beaten PBL teams here, they should go to Manila.
THE M. Lhuillier Jewelers are a former member of the then Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL) where they went on to bag the 1986 Freedom Cup. The Jewelers of Coach Raul Alcoseba were bannered by future superstars Samboy Lim and Jojo Lastimosa.
wow, they only used 7 players...
It is the editorial policy or style of most newspapers (not just in Cebu) to omit from the box scores the names of those players who were fielded but did not score.

ML should go back to PBL and bring over load of cebuano cage warriors so that the people can see at least a glimpse on what these players can do on the court.

Dacia was never allowed by Air21 to shine. He was given limited time.

I am looking for current information about a player named Lalong Mepana. He played for UV last year and had an outstanding conference. However, during the sinulog cup he was to play for MLKP instead of UV. I checked the final team roster and his named was not mentioned. In addition, after the ccl championship game he was to sign for Harbour Center. This signing never took place what is the reason for this?
