ABL’s San Miguel Beer in Cebu on Oct. 26-27

CEBUANOS will be treated to another high-quality basketball action when the M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala Niños play the San Miguel Beermen of the Asian Basketball League (ABL) in two exhibition games next week at the Cebu Coliseum.

The two tune-up games will be held on Oct. 26 and 27. Preliminary games will feature the Southwestern University Cobras, the newly 2012 Cesafi champions, and the University of San Jose-Recoletos Jaguars.

The Beermen, who are raring to bounce back from a championship loss to the Indonesia Warriors this year, are already busy assembling a team for the upcoming 2013 season of the ABL.

The brand new season will start on January.

The Bobby Parks Sr.-coached Beermen are composed mainly of former PBA players led by Asi Taulava, Erik Menk, Leo Avenido, Chris Luanzon, Rob Labagala, Paulo Hubalde, JR Cawaling, RJ Rizada, Val Acuña, and Hans Thiele. The team is reinforced by two imports in former PBA best import awardee Gabe Freeman and Brian Williams.

Ticket prices for the upcoming exhibitions are pegged at P30 (general admission), P100 (upper box), P150 (lower box), P200 (stage, reserved seats) and P250 (coutside). /EDITORIAL ASSISTANT CALVIN D. CORDOVA and correspondent Jonas Panerio
