    ALCANTARA, CEBU — Jaybie Mantilla put Dumaguete on his back and carried it to a 90-85 win over Tabogon in the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup on Thursday night at the Civic Center.

    With Dumaguete down by 15 at halftime, Mantilla — a former CESAFI MVP — exploded for 17 points in the third quarter to turn the tables on the Voyagers and put the Warriors in the driver’s seat, 71-69.

    He completed a three-point play with 2:44 left to put Dumaguete in the lead for good as the Warriors snapped a five-game losing streak and improved to 2-7, good for a share of fifth place alongside Tubigon Bohol.

    “We needed to win this game. So there was no time to relax and we needed to step up so that we could get a better position in the playoffs,” said Mantilla, who also is the SK chairman of Brgy. Suba Pasil in Cebu City. “Coach Leode (Garcia) also told me that I needed to step up and really show my game.”
