With that, he was the runaway MVP, a recognition he himself didn’t see coming. “Di ko talaga inasahan kasi rookie lang ako,” he said, not even a week since his win was announced.

Mahiyain pa,” Adamson head coach Mike Fermin shared.Still, Figueroa made noise because he let his game do the talking. “Di talaga ako humihingi ng bola. Kung ano lang kailangan ng team,” he said.
