MANILA, Philippines — Family’s Brand Sardines-Zamboanga City finished on top anew after escaping Butuan City to rule the fourth leg of the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 President’s Cup on Tuesday at Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna.

It was a dramatic win for Zamboanga City, which needed the heroics of Santi Santillan to weather a late storm by Butuan City, 21-20 (7:27).

Santillan won it at the free-throw line when he was fouled after securing the offensive rebound off a miss by Joshua Munzon.
