"We want to create the habit, which the PBA deserves," paliwanag ni Bobby Barreiro, isang beterano sa telebisyon na siyang namumuno ng proyekto para  sa ABC. "We believe that the PBA is a very viable product."

At the same time, the PBA has demanded payment of penalties of P60 million from IBC-13 for the latter’s failure to broadcast the last 20 play dates of PBA games.


A reliable source said the PBA is now considering elevating the case to the Central Bank after Manila Bank allegedly said it was not honoring the LC.
