Cebu City, Philippines—The ARQ Builders and NJEB Construction made their way to the finals of the Duterte Basketball League after they hurdled their respective semifinal opponents on Sunday evening, August 4, 2019, at the Capitol Parish Gym.
ARQ toppled Tito’s Kitchen, 63-57, thanks to the sensational performance of Christopher Obeso who had 27 points, seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block.

NJEB, on the other hand, trounced the Huskies, 96-85.
Jie Dablo and Romar Gonzaga proved to be a awesome twosome as the former had 33 points and five rebounds while the latter produced 21 points to carry NJEB to the win and into the best-of-three championship series, which begins on Sunday, August 11, 2019, at the same venue.
