Tolentino admitted he thought about the MVP race, but he's not putting too much as according to him, it could be detrimental to the team.

"I'm not gonna really focus on that," Tolentino asserted. "Maiisip mo rin, but once kasi na mag-focus to chase that MVP, hindi rin makakatulong sa team."

Meanwhile, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson of the TNT Tropang Giga was named Best Import of the conference, his third -- the first two being his back-to-back individual nods in the past Governors' Cup contests.

He clinched 1280 points to edge out his NorthPort counterpart Kadeem Jack, who had 825. Ginebra's Justin Brownlee had 670 points, while Rain or Shine's Deon Thompson tallied 633.
