PBA: The Pride is Back!

Like what I've said last time, I'm feeling the basketball fever nowadays. So I'm quite busy reading those news, updates, previews, and forecasts. The 32nd season of the PBA has just started last Sunday.


Damn! I missed the opening ceremonies! Good thing there is a recap after the game.

Now, i would say, the PBA have a VERY good production team. They are keeping at pace with the fad. Inviting the hottest performers in town, APO Hiking Society (hot because of their Tribute Album) and Kamikazee (hot and fresh! kangkarot and maharot)

Interesting to watch are the muses. Comprising the list of muses are; Tanya Garcia (Air21), Gelli de Belen (Alaska), Angelica Panganiban (Barangay Ginebra), Justin Gabionza (Coke), the 12 girls of Deal or No Deal (Purefoods), Valerie Concepcion (San Miguel), Lara Precious Quigaman (Sta. Lucia), Pauline Luna (Talk N Text) and Bianca King (Welcoat). Red Bull opted to parade a cutie and not a celebrity.

Hmmm. Purefoods! 12 (out of 26) girls of Deal or No Deal! No wonder!

The opening-day game is a no brainer! Powerhouse Ginebra against the newbie Welcoat. For Ginebra, every position is loaded. They are the early favorite to win the title. Rudy Hatfield even quoted:

We are going to win the championship!

What a confidence! Shouting it at the start of the tournament!

With an increased venue attandance and a good fight at the ratings game, truly, the pride is back for the PBA!
