Ateneo de Davao of Region XI capped off a fairytale campaign with a dominant 67–51 win over Western Visayas’ St. Robert’s International College to capture the 2025 Palarong Pambansa secondary boys’ basketball crown. Breaking away in the fourth quarter with a decisive 9-2 run, Davao never looked back as Jhon Mark Deligrino sealed the win with a coast-to-coast layup for their largest lead of the game.
The victory marked Region XI’s first title in the post-pandemic era, following a dramatic semifinal comeback against Region III. Western Visayas, which had earlier stunned both CALABARZON and defending champions NCR, saw its remarkable run end with a silver medal finish. Central Luzon, meanwhile, secured the bronze with a 75–64 win over Region IV-A.
