CEBU's gentle giant June Mar Fajardo racked up another award as he was named co-Player of the Week in the PBA Governors’ Cup for the period of October 14-20, 2019.
The 29-year-old Fajardo scored 19 points, hauled down 13 rebounds, and handed four assists as San Miguel rallied past Columbian Dyip, 113-107.
More importantly, Fajardo scored nine points in the fourth quarter as he teamed up with import Dezmine Wells in coming back from an 82-91 deficit in the final eight minutes to lead the Beermen to their first victory over the upset-conscious Dyip in three outings this season.
The Beermen improved their record to 5-1 overall for solo second.
Not to be outdone, Almazan finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds as Meralco turned back Blackwater, 106-97, to share the award with Fajardo. It's the second time this conference the former NCAA MVP out of Letran had been named Player of the Week.
