MANILA, Philippines — San Miguel Beer center June Mar Fajardo picked up his second Best Player of the Conference award on Wednesday before Game 4 of the 2015 PBA Philippine Cup Finals tipped off at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Fajardo, the reigning MVP, won his first BPC last year also in the Philippine Cup.

The 6-foot-10 Fajardo, who averaged league-best 19.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game through the semifinals, accumulated 1141 points built on 480 statistical points, 515 media votes, 71 votes from fellow players and 75 votes from the Office of the Commissioner.

Alaska’s do-it-all forward Calvin Abueva came in second with 889 total points. Beermen big man Arwind Santos was in third with 523 points, Ginebra center Greg Slaughter in fourth with 392 and another Beermen in Alex Cabagnot was in fifth with 390.

Fajardo though, won’t have time for any celebration with his San Miguel Beer down, 2-1, in their best-of-seven championship series with Alaska.
