Tubu restarted his career best with 30 spikes and two blocks, but Farm Fresh could not complete his defeat against the mighty Choco Mucho after absorbing a 25-15, 24-26, 21-25, 25-21, 15-12 defeat on Tuesday night at Philsports Arena.
Rondina, who saved the day for Choco Mucho with 29 points, had nothing but praise for Tubu after giving the Flying Titans a tough challenge before heading into the semi-final with defending champions Creamline, Petro Gazz and Chery Tiggo.

“We are both great flyers. She jumps very high, so I can't get a good read,” said Rondina after exchanging violent blows with Tubu. “She is very competitive and we have the same mentality that we don’t want our teammates to have a difficult time. I hope her career reaches its peak because she is very promising in her position.”
Tubu, who surpassed her previous professional record of 30 points last year, was honored to be praised by the reigning All-Filipino MVP, whose words will inspire her to play even better in the upcoming conference.
