- By REYNALD MAGALLON

June Mar Fajardo wearing a wide smile and speaking in front of everyone with his deep voice and gentle demeanor while raising yet another trophy, through the years, has already become a norm at every Leo Awards.

And the Season 49 edition was no different.

As if his feats aren't already beyond reach, Fajardo put his legendary career to an even higher pedestal after bagging his record-extending ninth PBA Most Valuable Player award on Sunday, Oct. 5 at the Novotel Hotel.
