DEFENDING champion M. Lhuillier-Kwarta Padala crushed Sanman Corporation, 102-78, for its second straight win in the Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Araw ng Dabaw Invitational commercial basketball tournament Thursday night at the Davao City Recreation Center.
Ian Saladaga poured in 21 points and Stephen Padilla, Mark Ababon and Nat Cruz added 15 each for the Cebuano dribblers, who also won the opening day assignment against the CM Farm cagers.
CM Farm bounced back from that defeat with a stunning 100-84 victory over Goldstar in the main game Thursday for a 1-1 card in the five-team tournament that is organized by Liga Dabaw and sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) 11 headed by its regional director Regino "Boy" Cua.
Leading the attack for CM Farm was Ardy Larong, who fired a game-high 21 points. Egay Billionaires backed him up with 15 markers.
Ron Capati scored 15 for Goldstar, which suffered its second straight loss in the event which offers P75,000 to the champion.
M. Lhuillier is leading the field with a 2-0 slate, followed by Monta¤a Pawnshop (1-0), CM Farm (1-1), Sanman (0-1) and Goldstar.
Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte maded the ceremonial toss to open the tournament Wednesday. Also present in the opening rites were Liga Dabaw officials led by its chair Guillermo "Willie" P. Torres, vice chair Atty. Mans Carpio, the mayor's husband, secretary general William "Butch" Ramirez and treasurer Jon Ramirez.
The second placer in the event stands to receive P50,000 while the third and fourth finishers will get P35,000 and P25,000, respectively. The fifth placer will also get P10,000.
As an added bonus, Mayor Duterte is also giving P20,000 to each team for competing in the event to highlight the 74th Araw ng Dabaw celebration.
The tournament's Most Valuable Player will pocket P5,000 courtesy of Atty. Carpio.

Montana faces M. Lhuillier in finals
Montana faces M. Lhuillier in finals
Montana Pawnshop of Davao bowed to Laguna’s Team Bida 84-82 but drew some luck in the quotients as it arranged a finals duel with Cebu’s M. Lhuillier for the Mayor Rody-Vice Mayor Inday Sara Invitational basketball crown.
It all came down to the stats with each basket counting as Montana, Bida and M. Lhuillier finished the eliminations with identical 2-1 win-loss slates. The Cebuanos topped the tie-breaker with a plus 12 quotient while Montana managed to finish no. 2 with a plus 6 quotient. Bida had a minus 4 and will be relegated to playing third against the Pacman Warriors of Gen. Santos City.
“I think these are the two teams most people wanted to meet. Montana may have the homecourt edge because it is the team from Davao but M. Lhuillier also has a lot of fans because of their exciting players,” said Bong Go, the Mayor’s executive assistant who was at courtside.
M. Lhuillier formalized its entry to the finals by drubbing Pacman Warriors 91-84 in Tuesday’s nightcap. Stephen Padilla once more displayed his vaunted firepower from beyond the arc as he came through with four triples for the night and a team-high 16 points. Frank Nailon had 14 while Marlon Basco and Ian Saladaga each had 12.
Team Bida made the standings a little complicated when it upset the Jewels earlier in the night. Ricky Ricafuente scattered four treys on the way to an 18-point output while Glenn Bolocon and Alfie Grijaldo played clean-up roles in the crucial fourth to preserve the reversal for the Drugbusters of Laguna. Francis Mercado had 13 for Laguna while Bolocon had 11.
The Jewels, who came back from a 50-38 deficit at the lemontime break to take the lead late in the third, were paced by Dondon Tadena with 18 while Ronald Lamocha had 17. For the second night, coach Nick Serafica used beanpole center Fred Canlas sparingly. It was Canlas who triggered a Montana uprising in the third period against M. Lhuillier in their first outing.
Against the same squad in the finals, everyone is speculating whether or not Canlas will be fielded by Serafica. The Cebuanos parade a strong frontline in the slam-dunking Basco and the rugged Nailon along with Ariel Mepana and Abe Santos. The Jewels will also have to find a way to neutralize the sweet-shooting Padilla who had three triples in their first encounter. Padilla averages close to five triples a game, mostly thrown from the pro distance.
For the third straight playdate, Davao’s basketball-thirsty fans filled the Almendras Gym to the rafters, queuing up at the gates early despite the strict security checks. (pr)
