MANILA, Philippines — Fans, officiating and a united PBA board are the top priorities of Willie Marcial in his first year at the helm of Asia’s first ever pro league.
“Mabalik yung mga fans sa atin, maayos yung officiating, and siyempre, yung sa board,” said Marcial during the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum at the Tapa King Restaurant at Farmer’s Market in Cubao yesterday.
Saying that fans are the life blood of the PBA, Marcial said it’s imperative to sustain their support both in the playing venues and on television.
It helps too, that the league is coming off a season in which a new record crowd of 54,086 was established during Game 7 of the Governors Cup Finals between Barangay Ginebra and Meralco at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
“Number one talaga gusto kong mapalapit pa tayo lalo sa mga fans. Malaking bagay yun,” he stressed in the public sports program presented by San Miguel Corp., Tapa King, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.
