He played for APCOR in the 1981 season. Since the MICAA folded up at the end of the 1981 season, as well as APCOR disbanding at the end of the same year, Salda?a decided to turn pro in 1982 and was directly hired by the Toyota Super Corollas. He would have been the Rookie of the Year that season had he not been involved in a brawl against a South Korean player in the 1982 Invitationals. The melee disqualified him from any award that was to be handed out at the end of the season. His namesake, Marte Salda?a, ended up winning the ROY honors.

Thanks for the information Sir. Huge fan of you since I read your posts in the other forum since 2006. And now you are one of my favorite sports personalities.

sad to hear that Terry spent the remaining days of his life in poverty. Used to talk to him a lot when he studied for college back in 2015. PBA players need to reconvene the union to protect the welfare of future retirees through a pension fund. Yes most of this athletes earn a lot during their playing days but only a few are financially prudent, which leads to a number of players going broke just a few years after their last PBA game.
