Joselito "Jojo" Duncil (born January 13, 1983) is a Filipino former professional basketball player who played in the Philippine Basketball Association. He was drafted 15th overall by Red Bull in 2007. Duncil previously played for the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers from 2004 to 2006 in the UAAP where he helped UST win their first championship since 1996 in his final year as a Tiger, winning the Finals MVP award in the process.
Born in San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines, Duncil first played for the Aivandale selection in San Pablo City, Laguna alongside some notable players like Dexter Mendoza, Alvin Garcia, Richard Manlapig and Christian Anlacan. He then played for University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers in 2004. The Tigers failed to make it to the playoffs in Duncil's first year, with him playing a minor role in the rotation. In 2005, the Tigers again missed the playoffs, having an even worse record than the previous year. Duncil emerged as a backup for Warren de Guzman and Danny Pribhdas, becoming the third option for the team.
In 2006 Duncil and new player Jervy Cruz emerged as the go-to guys for the Tigers as they barely made it to the playoffs, scoring 20 points or more in three of their first four games. Duncil himself missed four games either due to suspension or illness. In the playoff for the third seed, Duncil scored 13 points against the Adamson Falcons to help UST clinch the #3 seed and set up a semifinal series against the UE Red Warriors who had the twice to beat advantage. In the semifinals, Duncil scored 13 points to help UST force a do-or-die game for the last Finals berth. Duncil completed a pivotal three-point play in the dying seconds of the do-or-die game off Cruz's missed shot to put UST up for good and enter the Finals for the first time since 1999.
