                    [Summary] => Feeling a big drop in revenues despite the success of the Governors’ Cup title series, the Philippine Basketball Association has considered reverting  to the old schedule starting with the Commissioner’s Cup which unfolds June 16.


After having adopted a four-day-a-week, six-game schedule, PBA officials said the league suffered greatly, as the Tuesday and Thursday schedules that only had one game offerings dragged down the total of overall attendance by close to 10 percent compared to the All-Filipino last year.

Asi's mom in the dark

Mobiline center Asi Taulava's mother Pauline Hernandez Mateaki isn't aware that
the Bureau of Immigration (BI) has denied her son's application for a
Certificate of Recognition (CR).

In an interview arranged by Viva Vintage executive Ronnie Nathanielsz for the
TV network the other day, Taulava said he hasn't broken the bad news to his
mother. "I don't want to cause her any more pain," he explained.
