[Title] => Sunkist-UST to banner RFM’s return to PBL
[Summary] => For the love of the league it helped establish and nurture to become the country’s premier amateur basketball league, RFM Corporation will rejoin the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) starting with the season-ending 2003 Platinum Cup.
"PBL’s new approach of tapping school based teams opens the door for us to rejoin the league which we were a founding member," said RFM president and chief operating officer Joey Concepcion. "PBL’s program is more or less parallel with our own objective."

[Title] => Montaña trades de Ocampo to Pop Cola
[Summary] => More concerned with the future of the team, Montaña has officially traded Ranidel de Ocampo, undeniably the best amateur center in the country these days, to newcomer Pop Cola in a move that surprised coaches in the PBL.
Blessed with the speed and soft touch from the perimeter not typical of a big man, de Ocampo, 21, is a mainstay of the national team for the coming Vietnam SEA Games and is likely to turn pro next year.
