for me there should be no limit of fil-fors as long as that foreign player traces his roots in that place and can prove it in all aspect. perhaps one of his parents or both his parenst hails from that province or city.

and1, except his parents can be from any city or province in the country not just the province represented by his team.

1 fil-for is enuff, and besides,how can liga achieve its primary objective of tapping talents from the grassroot level if the slots alloted to them will be taken up by the foreigners? that's defeating the purpose.

I agree. Though I would rather call the "Fil-fors" as foreign-based Filipinos instead.
 
Liga Pilipinas Teams

Liga Pilipinas Teams

WE are very amused and inspired at how creative and imaginative our fans can be by creating all these proposed team names. Who knows, some of these may be adopted by the teams!

Okay, let's set the record straight . . . as of the moment, Liga Pilipinas teams will be strictly called by the geographic area or political unit they will represent. Their nicknames will only be secondary.

As far as corporate sponsors are concerned, they will be presented as "billboards" on the jerseys of the teams they are sponsoring. Think along the lines of the football jerseys in say the English Premier League. For example, M. Lhuillier-Cebu will simply be Cebu as their sponsor is simply placed on the team jerseys.

We promise to satisfy your hunger when we finalize the list of teams on or before April 25, 2008 (Friday).

Yup. I believe he owned the Tagaytay team before that's why I was shocked to hear that the team moved to Cavite.

To say it frankly, that is the only way of the PBA funding the league - by commercializing teams. That's why the MBA posted a great threat to the PBA before but sadly, teams got commercialized and it crumbled year after year until it got phased out.

the corporations will fund the league and not specific to a team. what will happen is, the league will give each team a fixed budget. will corporations bite that kind of a setup?

Ahhh okay. I've always thought that Tagaytay's in Batangas or Laguna since they're borders of each other.
 
i think the city or provincial governments will help fund the teams using city or provincial taxes. this would fall under recreation for the people.

I would go along with the recreational tax, as long as it's free admission for a year, since taxes are being paid per annum.

And travelling expenses (against receipts/bus fares/airline tickets) would be tax refundable for out-of-town games, meals and snacks not to be included, that is too much to ask........:D

Insurance travel would be out-of-pocket, meaning you secure and pay the premiums for a year.....:D

Not a good thing, really. I mean, if they won't charge admission fees, how'd the league prosper? I mean, sponsors wouldn't be there all year round. They need their money spinning round and round, y'know.

To date there are 16 teams that will comprise the league—eight in the south and eight in the north, with some of the teams already having been named. There are the Zamboanga Latinos (because it is said to be the only Asian Latin city), the Iloilo Warriors, the Cebu Niños, the Baguio Centennials, and tentatively, the Negros Muscovados. The remaining teams are in the process of having their monikers approved in time for the May 2008 launch.

The tournament will tap into the existing officiating structure while at once develop its own stable of umpires. And once in a while, there will be foreign officials working side by side with the local zebras who will be strictly following Fiba rules rather than hybrid ones. “The league is all about opportunities and inviting foreign referees will greatly help in the transfer of technology,” said the former commissioner who also divulged that the PBA’s former head of officiating, Perry Martinez, is now on board as well.

They’ll be playing in a home and away format that will be economical and incentive-based for all the teams. Teams will be accruing points similar to the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) that will greatly tell on the national championship picture as well as other incentives. “It has to be a win-win situation for the teams, the fans, the owners and our partners—the sponsors,” says a pleased commissioner who admits that the idea for the league was something he was supposed to present to the PBA Board of Governors but never got to do. “It’s a fresh start for all and at once a vibrant opportunity.”

Even the way the league is managed is done in such a way to veer away from the bureaucracy that binds many organizations. There are two bodies that govern the league—one for policy making and one for operations that implements what the think tank comes up with. “The game is traditional, but the thinking behind it is new for the times,” chimes in Bautista, who likes the excitement and initial reception the league has been getting.

All the games will be shown over the Internet on www.ligapilipinas.net as well as a television partner that the league is still working out.
