Mapua's Escamis prioritizes team title over MVP

Mapua University's Clint Escamis prioritizes winning the NCAA Season 100 men's basketball championship over individual accolades like the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

Despite scoring 30 points in Game 1 against College of St. Benilde, Escamis remains focused on securing a title for Mapua and celebrated with his teammates after clinching the historic victory.

Escamis emphasized that winning the championship brings happiness to an entire community more than individual awards, noting he set aside personal achievements this year.
