'Sobrang surreal': San Miguel's Tiongson relishes first PBA crown
Juami Tiongson, after an 11-year PBA career, has won his first championship title with the San Miguel Beermen, defeating TNT in Game 6 of the PBA Philippine Cup finals on Friday, July 25.
Tiongson, who was drafted 12th overall by Blackwater in 2014, expressed that this PBA title is particularly meaningful due to his career journey, which included playing in the PBA D-League, stints with NLEX and Terrafirma, and a trade to San Miguel Beermen in 2024.
Despite admitting to struggling in the finals, he credited veterans Chris Ross, Marcio Lassiter, and June Mar Fajardo for helping him adjust to the high-stakes series and anticipates personal and professional growth.
His girlfriend, Sparkle artist Arra San Agustin, was present to witness his championship victory.
