Marc Pingris was named Most Valuable Player of the PLDT Telpad Governors’ Cup finals after lifting his team to victory in Game Seven.
The San Mig Coffee defensive demon posted monster numbers of 19 points, 17 rebounds, and five blocks in the series clincher as the Mixers completed their unfinished business after losing in the title series last season.
He also set the tone for San Mig Coffee, opening the game with six straight points over 6-foot-10 Petron center June Mar Fajardo. He also took on the challenge of defending Boosters import Elijah Millsap, who finished with a series-low 25 points.
Pingris capped the 87-77 win with two free throws as San Mig Coffee fans chanted “MVP! MVP!”
He acknowledged them in an address after the match. “Kayo po ang nagbibigay ng lakas sa akin,” said Pingris, who also gave all the credit to San Mig Coffee coach Tim Cone.
“Mahal na mahal ko yung Coach ko na yan eh. Kahit pinapagalitan ako palagi.”
It was Pingris’ second finals MVP after winning the same honors in the 2006 Philippine Cup for the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants.
