The 6-foot-7 center put up a near double-double performance of 20 points and nine rebounds on top of three assists and three blocks to carry the Las Pinas-based squad to its first win of the season.

The Junior Altas recovered from a slow start and got ample support from Jan Roluna, who recorded 18 points and five rebounds, as Perpetual leaned on a fourth quarter attack to turn the favor and seal the win.
