Marami pa rin naman like McCarthy, si Tungcab din ata nagkacheating incident.

my money (no pun intended) is still with Paul Alvarez for heterosexual encounters, Bogs Adornado for the counterpart

Di sa hatred pre.. Yung diskarte nya how to deal with management is a wrong way, Immatured one.. He could handle this one on a professional matter.. Gumising kayo.. Don't ever dare that PBA can be like NBA that players can have their rights and have a union.. It's very easy to tell TNT that i want to be traded!!! Why he can't do that? He can do ala Vic Manuel and this issue is already finish!!! Or if he want to play overseas then ask MVP nicely about his decision.. Di yung ganito na pinagtataguan nya management or he didn't answer management's calls on him..

Lookie here. This TNT fantard is still frothing in the mouth because their most prized player stood up for himself. BRP Jr. has his share of lack of better judgement, correct. But for them, MVP or the TNT management, to compromise his career is clearly out of spite. Klaro naman na wala siya live contract with TNT. Ikaw ang dapat gumising. 😂 Such ignorance. Lol. From hyping TNT players, outrageous analysis and blaming the typhoon for Troy Rosario's choking performance to pure hating. LOL
Dude seriously? 🙄

Zorrilla: Phoenix has no plans to sell franchise
Olmin Leyba (The Philippine Star ) - March 25, 2021 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — Phoenix was quick to quash fears on the Fuel Masters’ status in the PBA following reports the company is considering to unload certain corporate assets as part of its “debt management and funding activities.”

Team governor Atty. Raymond Zorrilla assured that the Fuel Masters won’t be affected by the new “financial management strategy” Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. is set to implement.

“Not at all,” Zorrilla told The STAR on whether the company’s approach will have an effect on its five-year-old PBA franchise.

Phoenix, in a disclosure to the stock exchange, said its board of directors has given management the authority to enter into negotiations with third parties for the “possible transfer, sale, mortgage or disposition of certain corporate properties, assets or investments.”

“No plans (to sell). That was just part of our financial management strategy,” clarified Zorrilla, who reiterated the same in his conversation with Commissioner Willie Marcial.

“They’re not for sale, according to governor Zorrilla, and they’re here to stay in the PBA,” said Marcial.

The Fuel Masters, who entered the league in 2016, are coming into Season 46 riding the momentum of their semifinal finish in the last Philippine Cup bubble in Clark.

The squad engaged in big trades in the off-season, acquiring Chris Banchero from Magnolia and Vic Manuel from Alaska, and picked big man Larry Muyang at seventh in the last draft to upgrade its roster for the next tournament.

Instead of arguing about endo and contracts, watch Yeshkel's video na lang.

All we have to know is that PBA is gaming the system.

In a just society , the players union would hire a lawyer to contest that unfair rule, and a fair-minded judge would rule in the players’ favor, but this is the Philippines.

I don't think you not understand my point.. Maybe you not understand RFA and UFA.. Poor basketball IQ like you boi!!!

WOW look who's talking. Check your grammar first before judging someone as low IQ. no wonder madami galit sayo dito.

true, too bad majority of the players are clueless on this matter, and those who have the brains would rather stay quiet so that they would not get the ire of their evil emperor and continue to enjoy the spoils, everyone is happy with the status quo.

In the academe, a number Catholic universities successfully destroyed their respective school unions during the onset of k to 12, which displaced hundreds of faculty members. GMA and ABS continue to circumvent labor laws to their favor (and ABS would use the same employees in their attempt to "appeal to pity"), SMC and MVP, similar to other oligarchs, are known for subcontracting, outsourcing and contractuals.

we may hate BRP due to his diva-type attitude, but in this context he is the unconcious protagonist for players welfare

[ja.he]

I wasn't referring to production crew but the "producer" himself/herself, networks employ segment producers to produce "shows" (not just one show) for them year round. Why won't you regularize such a person eh especially when you also bar them from getting contracts with rival networks?
,

I see. With things you mentioned, it seems that they can qualify a regulars. We need to see the whole contract and the facts surrounding that case though.

Is there a labor case involving a segment producer? Kasi I already looked for cases involving GMA, ABS and TV5 which relates to regularization and those cases involved only teleprompters, light and sound engineers and utility workers and crew members. So far, I don't see any labor cases involving segment producers.

Lol.. Mas lalo kana bro... Try to understand someone post before you comment.. Nahahalata kana eh..

Eh bopols ka pala eh. Hindi naman ikaw kausap in the first place. I was just pertaining to one21guns post guilty ka masyado. From small ball na di magets to yun pala positionless. Tapos Erram is a top 3 big man. What a f"cking joker. Wala talaga kwenta kausapin ka.

Do you think 3x3 is enough? With having thousands of professional basketball players here eh Pinagmamalaki mo 3x3? These players still like 5x5 due to more benefits and exposure aside the money that they will get.. 16 teams in 3x3 is only around 80 players (5 is the max players each per team), While adding atleast 3 teams in 5x5 will have already 45-50 players that our players having a spot playing in the PBA.. Kung may kunsensya ka bro, Maawa ka sa ating ibang aspiring players that their dream is to play for our country and help their families.. Some of them are poor and from the province that their only way is to play professional basketball.. I know even i will message a lot here calling for expansion eh PBA will never care atleast they will know about what it feels especially these people who have their dream to play in the PBA..

work is work, 3x3 is not a bad option especially for those who have borderline skills and limited real world skills (not to mention didnt take college seriously).

not everyone is cut to play in the highest level of pro play in the country, similar to the nba, hundreds of d1 ncaa schools plus numerous international prospects yet only 30 teams, the cream rises to the top and only the fit should belong to the PBA, thus it should not add teams for the mere sake of accommodating all the displaced and the aspiring athletes, i would rather have the league address parity first before adding teams. i think the days of midget ball would end if talent in the league is distributed evenly among teams.

its similar to any other career actually, only the select few, the best of the best, gets the highest posts. Corporate or academe, public or private sector, only few slots are available and only the best (in theory) should hold the post.

i think adding a team or two would be enough (indy team ah not farm team) but more than that would saturate the talent pool, just like how the mpbl expanded too soon which led to an awful product.

personally though i don't pity that much those who did not make the league, they had their scholarships in college, they should be equipped with the employable skills outside basketball, like the rest of us. Plus, its a competitive environment, its high level pro play not a charity or affirmative action program for the aspiring pros

Hard to argue with you on this, you hit the nail on the f'n head, bro. The problem with most Pinoys is that basketball is the only option where one could potentially have a better-than-average pro-career, they don't want to try other sports (football, tennis or any other sport that Pinoys could make a difference in and have illustrious careers), that's why even if they don't possess elite physical attributes and playing skills for basketball, they just go with the flow.

As for the expansion of PBA, I'd rather see that it comes back to being a 9 or 10-club league, removing the farm teams in the process. But such PBA iteration should also not become the first or permanent destination of our continental/world-class players, so that there will always have slots for mid-tier Pinoy talents. For the unlucky ones, there are tons of minor league/commercial clubs that still pays good money anyways, so it would be better for them to make a killing in those leagues, make it a springboard to PBA.

mpbl could have been an alternative for mid tier players, too bad duremdes, pacquiao and the gambling underworld screwed it, i hope the viz-min league of Dondon Hontiveros would be stable as it could provide an alternative to borderline players with no employable skill outside basketball, not all ex pros are like jeric fortuna (currently a pilot) who is smart enough to know when to quit and change careers.

if only our basketball stakeholders could grasp how MLB's minor league system and the baseball league tier system works, that could be a win win situation for team owners, borderline talents, aspiring pros and the has beens/washed up

that's why i tell my student athletes enrolled in my course, especially the benchwarmers and those from sports who have no commercial leagues to take their studies seriously so they could have options.

i think charles barkley said it best (will look for the video later) he encourages young athletes to pursue degrees (doctor, teacher, phd, law, nursing wtc) than chase the nba dream as only a handful will make it in the nba.

I suggest that you guys watch Coach Carter as it gives valuable lesson that not all will make it in the pros, and education and career choices matter.

PBA should just expand to 15 teams already. Sayang ung madaming bench players, UFA, at undrafted players. Madaming talented pero very limited lang talaga ung teams.

[HJPotter]

Anyway, Manila North Harbour Port, Inc (MNHPI) is 50% owned by SMC and 50% owned by Enrique Razon's ICTSI. Is this the reason why NorthPort Batang Pier isn't labeled as SMC team in the PBA yet? They are waiting for SMC to increase its stake to at least 51%?
