KOREA lies in wait, but Kevin Quiambao is already P190,000 richer regardless of La Salle's fate in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball finals.
The La Salle superstar was the recepient of the bulk of special citations on Wednesday during the ceremonies held before Game Two at Mall of Asia Arena.
Quiambao received P100K from Hyundai Stargazer X for being the Exceptional Player of the Season; P50K from PSBank for being the PSBankable Player of the Season, and P40K from Skechers for the Best Performance of the Season.
That's on top of his P10K worth of McDonald's gift certificates as member of the Mythical Five
It's just the sweetener for him taking home his second straight Season MVP honors, as well as, of course, back-to-back Mythical Team selections.
Green Archers teammate Michael Phillips received P30,000 from Motolite as the Maaasahan Player of the Season, Far Eastern University center Mo Konateh got P50K from AIA as the season's Best Rebounder, and Rookie of the Year Veejay Pre received P30K from Nissin Cup Noodles.
Rounding out the Mythical Team is the University of the Philippines lead guard JD Cagulangan.

Make no mistake, however, these monetary incentives are just a bonus, as KQ still has his sights set on keeping La Salle in the championship chase, as they look to force a decider against their new-age rival Fighting Maroons.
