MANILA, Philippines – The delay in the PBA opening may be a blessing in disguise for San Miguel Beer as it welcomes back stars June Mar Fajardo and Terrence Romeo and integrates trade acquisition CJ Perez into the fold. For his part, Perez got extended time to get accustomed to the SMB system after his celebrated trade from Terrafirma last February. Abanilla believes the squad is ready to plunge into action despite the limitations of the closed-circuit training sessions. “I think we are prepared for the PBA resumption since all we do during the restrictions is lift and practice when permitted, anticipating for the PBA’s opening,” he said. “We are all excited and we are all eager to give the PBA fans what they truly deserve, so God willing, let the PBA games begin!”
