Fajardo rewrites history anew with record-extending ninth MVP award
The Freeman
|October 06, 2025
Cebuano basketball star June Mar Fajardo capped yet another dominant year by winning his record-extending ninth PBA MVP award on Sunday, October 5, during the Leo’s Annual Awards for Season 49 presented by ArenaPlus.
-
The 35-year-old San Miguel Beer franchise player bagged the league's highest individual award by runaway fashion, amassing a total of 3041 points by topping the statistics (1688), media votes (855), and players' votes (518).
In his 11-year pro career, only twice has Fajardo not walked away with the MVP trophy - during his rookie season in 2012 and in 2020 when he went down with a fracture on his right tibia and missed out completely the entire season.
When he went down with the career-threatening injury, the 6-foot-11 giant from Pinamungajan thought everything was over.
