Game Wednesday (New Cebu Coliseum, Cebu City)
6 p.m. — MP Gensan vs Cebu

M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala Cebu tries to complete the semifinal cast when it battles MP Gensan this Wednesday in the Tournament of the Philippines quarterfinals at the Cebu City Coliseum.

Behind a cast of ex-PBA players and some of the former homegrown collegiate stars, the Niños claimed the No. 1 spot after the nine-leg elimination round tournament to establish themselves as the title favorites in this tournament organized by the Philippine Basketball League and Liga Pilipinas.

With a twice-to-beat advantage, the Cebuanos are favored to make short work of the Warriors in their 6 p.m. showdown although the squad of coach Yayoy Alcoseba should be wary of the fact that Gensan can make things interesting.
