00:00Miralco Boltz was crowned the champion in the 48th season of the PBA Philippine Cup.

00:06That's what Rafael Pandayrel has to say.

00:12In the first chance, Miralco Boltz will be able to call himself the PBA champion.

00:20That was after San Miguel Bierman closed the door on the game 6 of the 48th season of the PBA Philippine Cup this Sunday night in Araneta Coliseum.

00:31From the start, Boltz already had a huge lead.

00:35But the defending Philippine Cup champions didn't give up easily.

00:40The lead was gradually increased until a 3-pointer from the best player of the conference,

00:47Jun Marfajardo, scored the 78th all.

00:51But in the next possession, Chris Newsom recovered by catching a clutch mid-range jumper to recover the lead.

01:01San Miguel ran out of time in the next possession.

01:05And Miralco Boltz was able to escape the victory.

01:08That's how big their lead was.

01:11Newsom finished the game with 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

01:16He was also nominated as the Finals Most Valuable Player.

01:20Miralco's consultant, Nenad Vucinich, said that he really trusted Newsom's ability.

01:41Today, he got really defended well by some of the guards in San Miguel.

01:47But the last shot had to go to me.

01:50And that's his bread and butter fadeaway jump shot from the baseline.

01:55And he went in, so I'm so happy for him.

01:59Following their first championship, Miralco accompanied the Coca-Cola Tigers

02:04as the second team in the history of the PBA to win their first title in an all-Filipino conference.

02:12Rafael Bandayrel for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
