God bless her soul. She was the one who made JMF the way he was. During the Boomers-Gilas basketbrawl, the main reason Junemar stayed out of it was because the thought of what his mother would think of him if he got in a fight.

I Feel sorry for Junmar knowing how close he is with his mom. I understand what is like losing a parent. Maybe the passing away of Junmar's mom came much earlier than expected.
The saddest part of being a human being is that, someday you will lose all your parents right before your eyes. Its inevitable. The only chance one won't witness a death of a parent is if he dies before his/her parent does, which of course isn't good either to say the least. They say, a child is supposed to bury his parents. Not the other way around.

I hope that Junmar and his family are coping well with her death. I wish them all the best and I hope that they can all move forward well. God bless Junmar's mom and god bless his family.

From LotR: The Two Towers, Théoden says "No parent should have to bury their child."
Condolences to June Mar. His mother was his anchor. Hope he powers through.

Players willing to shoulder the bubble costs, TF?

Players willing to shoulder some of the expenses of the PBA bubble just to ensure that the season would continue, as per BGSM Team Captain LA Tenorio, as agreed upon by other team captains
“Nag-usap usap kami at pumayag na rin yung mga team captains na this time, kami naman muna,” said one source., “Kasi gusto lang naming matuloy na muna to saka gusto nating pasayahin yung mga fans, masyado na tayong maraming problemang kinakaharap,” he added.
IMHO, the minimum salary players and the average earners will suffer from these scheme, and they are the majority of the player's population while the superstars/max paid players can foot the bill. Damn, PBA teams are either too cheap or the pandemic has really hurt their core businesses. This financial woe could be exploited by the Binondo Mafia and the Gambling Lords of Pampanga/Central Luzon.

At least one player speak out already. Greg Slaughter tweeted 'Huh?? This article does not speak for me Thumbs down emoji"
good for Greg to speak out against it. those against him in twitter must be uninformed in labor practices. PBA is an actual professional league, not a 'barangay' league with 'ice tubig' chip in to pay for the court. if this pushes through, then this league should go and demise
Grabe talaga na development ito! Very low from the PBA! I can't believe that Greg has naysayers in his tweet! If this development ends up being true, PBA will reach an all time low in my eyes. I hope this development does not happen! Players deserve better!
This is why a union is needed in the PBA. We'll need someone to be the voice of the players, to represent what the players really think. Ang problem lang, kung masyadong buddy-buddy sa owners ang union.

Players union is the last thing SMC people would want to see. Hence, expect assholes like Long Hair & Rene Pardo to do whatever they can to discourage everybody from forming such union. I also expect SMC players not to join players union if ever a union is formed someday. Arwind "Bagyo" Santos is perhaps among the last PBA player that will join a players union.

Discouraging a union is unfair labor practice under the Labor Code.
Even if the SMC players don't join the union, they still form part of the bargaining unit that the union would represent. Hence, they're still represented, even if they don't join.

Nice to know that more or less the PBA can’t stop a player union from developing. I just can’t believe na this Player union has not been materialized yet since the league has founded and its 2021 na for crying out loud! My god PBA, be progressive naman kahit player union nalang, hahay!

Except if they will lead these "Players Union", But if you look at them eh they are not united.. They don't care in each other... It's up to them if they want to have players union.. They should be united first...
Actually, only 20% of the bargaining unit is required to form a union. Forming the union is the easy part. It's winning the certification election (the one where they get to represent the players) that's the hard part. At least 50% of the players have to vote, and the union needs 50%+1 of valid votes cast.

That is in NBA rules right? They have too many players and 20% is already maybe 200 plus players agreed.. Here, we have only 160 plus players overall in the PBA.. If we conduct that 20% is only equivalent to 32 - 35 agreed players.. Do you think they can get atleast 35 players united to have a union? SMC players + farm teams have their bloc while MVP + BWE players also have another bloc.. For sure it's hard to them to be agreed/united for have Player's union for their sake.. As i said, Unity between all players from each camp is the solution to have "Players union".. Ni maglaro nga sa Gilas eh maarte pa mga PBA players for country's sake...
That's Labor Code IRR. It applies to any union.

biggest problem in unionizing the PBA imho is that no single player in the league can unify these players, either some are content with the current structure, some are voiceless, most are apathetic and the minority, against the system but has no bargaining power (i.e. slaughter)
this generation of PBA players needs a Jaworski type of personality. I hope the incoming batch of PBA players are woke enough to challenge the status quo. (though I think they would rather go to Japan)

Correct & well said.
Players that are "content" with the status quo are SMC players, specially Arwind "Bagyo" Santos. You bet "Bagyo" would be among the last PBA players to join a union, if ever there will have one.

Actually, the NBA CBA has a union security clause requiring the players to maintain membership in good standing as long as they are employed. This is a maintenance of membership shop provision. So, basically, all NBA players playing for a team have to be members of the union.
We can't have a union security clause, since there are players who would be against a union kasi kuntento na, as CoJ and JAMSKIE pointed out.

As what Arwind "Bagyo" Santos once said (not the exact words), "Sino ba nagpapa sweldo sa atin? Kanino ba tayo nabubuhay? Di ba sa San Miguel? Kung ganoon eh, sino ang susundin natin?"
Masunurin lang naman si Arwind....
...masunurin sa DEMONYO!

likely high chance smb players will never join the players union.

Long Hair would tell the SMC players, "Bakit pa kayo sasali sa union na yan? Busog naman kayo sa San Miguel management ah. Ano pa ba ang mahihiling ninyo?"

SMC and to a lesser extent MVP players have nothing to gain from unionizing, they would just jeopardize their post retirement income, whereas, players from indy teams, farm teams, minimum earners and those on SMC's (Maliksi, Yap, Slaughter) and MVP (formerly Parks) sh*t list will benefit from a union. I doubt that journeymen PBA players who are out of the lague in 3-5 yrs time get the same perks that a Arwind or the Ravenas get.
