Talk and Text secures their place in league history as they sweep Rain or Shine Elasto Painters (105-82) Wednesday night to take home the Emilio "Jun" Bernardino Perpetual Trophy which is given to the team that wins 3 consecutive Philippine Cup championships.
Before the tip-off, Jayson Castro, also of the Tropang Texters was awarded the Best Player of the Conference award. He bested 4 other candidates: His team mate, Ranidel De Ocampo, Alaska's Rookie Calvin Abueva, Petron's Arwind Santos and Meralco's Solomon Mercado.
Talk and Text throughout the game played well defensively, limiting E-Painters chance to catch up during the final quarter and taking the fight out of them.
Ranidel "Ranidirk" De Ocampo was awarded as the Papa John's PBA Press Corp Finals MVP.
