Salud to Grace MMTLBA Opening
by Henry Liao for philippinebasketball.ph (01/07/2012)


PBA Commissioner Chito Salud has been invited as one of the special guests when the Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Association launches its 42nd edition on Saturday with a promise of another exciting action at the Uno High School gym.

The amiable executive of Asia?s first professional basketball league will be joined by officials and supporters of Grace Christian College ? this year?s host ? in a simple opening ceremony where former stars of the premier Fil-Chinese league are expected to be extolled.

Among the former stars who made significant contributions to the growth of the league were Atoy Co, Lim Eng Beng, Sunny Co, Alfrancis Chua, Woody Co, TY Tang, Joseph Yeo and Chris Tiu.

Chua, who steered Stag-Tanduay to six championships in the now defunct PBL before handling several teams in the pro league, has been tapped as the commissioner of the centerpiece Juniors Division.

Aside from the Juniors Division, the league, according to Bonnie Tan of the host school, will also have competitions in the Aspirants and Girls High School divisions, both of which will also fire off on Saturday.

The 1:30 p.m. showdown between five-peat-seeking Xavier School and Chiang Kai Shek College will highlight the three-game schedule of the event presented by major sponsors Regan Industrials Sales Inc. and World Balance
and supported by Uratex, Burlington, Summit Drinking Water, 100 Plus, Supreme Steel Pipe, Superior Pipe and Ace Water Spa.

Backstopped by Youth Olympic Games veteran Jeron Teng, the XS Golden Stallions bounced back from a shocking Game 1 loss to beat Hope Christian High School in their 2011 best-of-three championship series and claim their 10th Juniors championship.

Though Chiang Kai Shek College has yet to win a title since the departure of Justin Chua in 2008, it remains as the winningest squad in the league history with 14championships. Chua, who now plays for Ateneo in the UAAP, helped steer the Blue Dragons to the title in 2007.

Other teams competing are St. Stephen's High School, St. Jude Catholic School and Uno High School.

Hope Christian High School, which is determined to avenge its defeat last year, opens its season against against St.Stephen?s right after the 3 p.m. showdown between Grace Christian College and Uno High School.
