Robert Non, Barangay Ginebra’s alternate governor to the PBA board, wants future walkouts to be treated more severely by the Commissioner’s Office, recommending no less than a whopping P10 million fine to start the ball-and-chain rolling.
“Half a million pesos is too small at today’s rates. Iba ang scenario noon,” said Non by phone from his office Tuesday afternoon.
“Kung 20 years ago e kaya nang bayaran ng isang team yung five hundred thousand, ngayon pa kaya? Ilang inflation na ba ang nangyari?”
Non was referring to Anejo Rum under playing-coach Robert Jaworski back in 1990.
The 65ers were fined P500,000 – an astronomical amount then – after walking out in the second quarter of Game 6 of the First Conference Finals and forfeiting the championship in favor of Shell Rimula-X, 4-2.
Asked to react to reports that Anejo Rum was already a subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation in 1990, Non said: “E hindi pa naman San Miguel ang nasusunod noong mga panahon na ‘yon. Di dapat sana walang walkout.”
Non said the league governors have requested copies of the PBA rules for immediate review.
“We have to revisit and strengthen the rules, especially on walkouts. Kailangan
maging deterrent talaga yung sanctions dahil you’re depriving fans who had paid hard-earned money to watch the game,” he said.
Non stressed he isn’t putting any kind of pressure on PBA Commissioner
Sonny Barrios.
“Suggestion lang naman ‘yon. Di naman cast in stone,” he said. “It’s up to the commissioner naman whatever revisions he thinks are appropriate for these times. Baka lang kasi obsolete na yung ibang rules.”
Non also made it clear he “isn’t zeroing in” on Talk ‘N Text, which walked out of Game 4 of its KFC-PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinal series with Barangay Ginebra last Friday and was fined more than P1 million.
“This isn’t about what happened. I’m just looking ahead, kung baga,” he said. “This isn’t about them.”

I think u have to revisit and strengthen the rules, especially on dirty players and coaches ..players who beat fans who had paid hard-earned money to watch the game..like Ranidel de Ocampo and Caguiao and many more who got away with it bec the PBA turned a blind eye on them>>P10-million fine for walkouts is rediculous and not a prudent thing to say ..why not just tell them not to join the league....how much revenue was generated during the powerade and gilas match for Ondoy victims?madami nanood eh wala pa kahit sa kalahati at kalahati nang 10 million wala!!P10-million fine ..very silly!!!hindi bale sana kung yung 10 million ibibigay doon sa fans...sa PBA rin mapupunta all the fans will get is just a refund of the tickets...TICKET lang ..so PLs lang to any PBA governor don't use the "FAN " word to mislead the PUBLIC!!!!
half a million is enough,, 1 million is fair.. but 10 million is too much!
PBA must check the system its pretty obvious SMC is what PBA wanted to be in the semis and finals why?? because of MONEY business e, we the fans wanted a league that is not bias check the salary cap check everything isnt it obvious?????
please change your system i am also a san miguel beer fan but thing is if its sister teams in the finals definetly it will be till game 7 without any doubt but if its another corp against another it will be till game 5 or 6 where is the compitition???
dami namang hindi nagiisip dito, kaya nga fine e. dapat lang talaga mataas ang fine, tama yung 5 to 10 million. hindi ka naman magbabayad kung hindi mo gagawin e. the fine has to be outrageous to deter teams from walking out. kung 10 million yan wala ng magwalk out and thats what the huge fine is for. para magdalawang isip mga teams bago mag walk out. thats what robert non is trying to say.
Remember the TIME when...
Meron lang 6 PBA Teams.
Gawin nila exag ang RULES.
For SURE SMC teams na lang matitira dyan.

well may point ung nagcomment na " kaya nga tinawag na fine dapat talaga mataas" ito ay para di maging option ng mge teams ang pagwawalkout!! protection ng mga viewers at fans to. .right!?
ALASKA team against the 3 Lions...ALL the way...
dapat ang fine i-base sa itr or revenue ng isang franchise team...kung sinong team ang mas mayaman at may kakayahang magbayad just in case na mag walk-out cla ang magbabayad ng pinakamalaking fine pero kung yun ang pinakamahirap na team dapat i-ayun sa itr at revenue ng company(franchise team)...pldt group isa sa pinakamayaman yan ilan ba subscriber nla sa landline,dsl,mobile phones at ang smc na ang pinakamayan dahil 3 franchise team nila araw-araw maraming pinoy ang nagsusunog ng baga sa liquors product nila..marami ring pinoy ang uminom ng magnolia milk at poultry products..kumakain ng hotdog at de lata.(kung smc ang nagwalkout)..kung red bull naman dahil cla pinakamahirap na team dapat cla ang bigyan ng terms kahit 4 gives.
10 M is toooooooooo much...
one of the most sickest thing to suggest!! its over ruled!
Tama ka dude. Kaya nga tinawag na fine to discourage teams in doing walkouts. Kung di nila gagawin wala naman silang babayaran. Okay na yung 10M para di na maulit ang mga ganitong incidents. Kawawa din ang paying public nun.
kaya hindi tayo umaaasenso eh...
dito sa Singapore, bawal kumain sa MRT trains at stations, fine palang nasa $500 na..
no biking on walkways, $1000 na agad..
ridiculous ba ang mga multa? disiplina lang talaga..
ang point ni Non eh ang hindi na basta-basta nalang pag walkout sa laro..
Ano ba yan takutan para walang mag protesta outside the board? Hindi naman PBA teams ang problema yn problema ay sa PBA kume office and Refs. Bakit walang balita sa pag up grade sa refs officiating?
Sa Singapore yun.
Hindi naman ganun kayaman lahat ng PBA teams.
Remember na wala ang SHELL.
Wala na ata silang pang-gastos nun.
So pwede ng api-apihin ng mayayaman teams ang hindi ganun kayaman na teams?
buti pa magsimula nalang ng bagong liga c MVP or lahat ng teams jan umalis na...iwan nalang nila teams ng San Miguel Group kasi parang SMC na ata may ari ng PBA sa dami ng teams nila...
tama si non, dapat talaga taasan ang presyo ng multa... ng mag dalawang isip naman ang isang team na mag walk out. yun ang point nya. hindi sya nagnenegosyo sa 10 million na yan.
tama ka Anonymous // February 10, 2010 2:03 AM
dito sa Singapore, mag yosi ka lang sa exit stairs, $1000 (32,000 pesos) na ang multa mo. kaya ganyan kataas ang multa, para madisiplina mga tao. UULITIN KO, PARA MA DISIPLINA MGA TAO!
I'm all for it! Hindi ako papayag na masayang ang pag-biyahe ko galing sa malayong lugar para lang manood ng dalawang quarter dahil sa nag-walk-out yung isang team! Dapat laging isipin ng mga players, coaches at ng mga team officials ang responsibilidad nila sa mga fans ng PBA na siyang patuloy na nagpapayaman sa kanila!
U can't compare Singapore from the PBA ..the fine in singapore goes to the people of Singapore while the fine in the PBA goes only to the PBA not to the FANs of the PBA ..if it goes to the Fans of the PBA then I would agree to a hefty fines eventhough its biased officiating or players hurting each other I don't care as long as they don't walkout of the game..
I don't think it's a question of where the money goes to. Instead, we should look at the reasons why these fines are in place. Having a fine that amounts to something that can be shouldered by anybody will not deter other teams from walking-out of a game. The fine will not serve it's purpose kaya kailangan gawing exhorbitant ang amount para mag dalawang isip ang coach ng isang koponan bago mag walk-out! I don't even care kung saan mapupunta yung pera basta nakikita ko na hindi pinababayaan ng PBA ang mga fans! Because at the end of the day, fans pa rin ang mag su-suffer, hindi ang mga milyonaryong coaches and players!
Read again kung san napupunta yung 500,000 pesos na multa... di nga sa fans... pero mapupunta sa funds ng PBA... di naman si kume o si non makikinabang jan... kaya kinumpara ang singapore sa pba... tungkul dun sa laki ng multa para ma disiplina ang tao... ng manghinayang naman sila bago nila gawin ulit ang walkout... Gets?
Dapat when PBA (players, coaches, managers, etc) hurts a Fan, dapat may Fine na 10 Million din. Regardless kung anung pang-aasar ang ginawa nya, FAN sya eh, he/she favors one team.
If PBA really cares about the FANS
(or viewing public).
Dapat safety muna ng FANS ang concern nila.
d nmn gagastos ng 10 m.. kung nde magwawalk out db?? tama yn!! THE BIGGER THE FINE THE BETTER..
Assuming If the referee didn't call a flagrant foul on Player A and he keeps on hurting the Gilas players not to mention other teammates does it too bec the coach ordered it and on top of that the officials just sat there and do nothing..,should the Gilas team not walkout for safety reasons? once they walkout is it bec they r not discipline enough ? it is not about discipline ..its about the reason that provoked the walkout that should have been addressed...this question should not have been asked by the reporter to Robert Non and should instead been asked to other Governor like that of alaska, Rain or Shine ,,
10 million is too much for that.
The Bigger the Fine the more Stupendous PBA is.
And the Bigger the Fine the more BIAS PBA is, in FAVOR of SMC.
Its no longer about giving the FANS truthful and heartfelt passionate Basketball. PERA PERA na lang, scripted, parang PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.
Ang gusto ng FANS... mala-UFC, hind WWF o WCW.
tama yan para di na pamarisan...kumbaga sa batas, pag nang rape dapat bitayin para walang gumaya. sa middle east nga eye for an eye ,tooth for a tooth..mali talaga ang tnt at smart management. sana kung may problema sila sa officiating which wala naman talaga, tinuloy nila ang laro tapos nag protest na lang sila for full review ng board after the game... nakakawalang galang sila.
