Sta. Lucia protests pressure from SBP

2/01/2010 | , | 89 comments »

Sta. Lucia Realty team PBA governor Buddy Encarnado said Monday he sympathizes with the plight of the Smart-Gilas national team but he questioned the way how the top executives of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) conveyed their message to the team regarding plans to recruit one of Sta. Lucia’s top players.

SBP executive director Noli Eala told reporters the other day that he and Gilas coach Rajko Toroman would like to have Realtor Kelly Williams to shore up the team when Gilas begins its international campaign this year.

According to Encarnado, while he understands the predicament of Gilas, he said that by coming out in public without formal discussion with them puts direct pressure on the team.

He said there are many things to consider before a deal can be made to allow the 6-foot-7 Williams to play for the national team.

“I will discuss this first with management and to Kelly. I want to know their (Gilas) schedule,” Encarnado said. “From there we can probably see kung pwede. We have to balance siyempre yung team and yung pagiging patriotic natin.”

While he is open to discussion he said that by going to the press, the team and management feel some pressure.

“I’ve never talked to him (Eala) or coach Toroman,” Encarnado told the Bulletin in a phone interview.

They’re putting pressure on us. All off a sudden, here they are coming out in public. Ayoko man tingnan ng ganun, pero may pressure na agad e.”

I don’t think they want to pressure us, but the method... they’re feeling the waters. They should sit down with us first. Hindi ganito,” he added.

As much as SLR wants to help the national team, there are things that should be considered, like the calendar of events the RP team will be competing should not be in conflict with that of the PBA schedule and the kind of tournaments Gilas will be joining.

Eala reportedly wants Williams for this year’s Asian Games and the FIBA-Asia Championship next year, the qualifying event for the 2012 London Olympics.

Encarnado also said that there is an existing agreement between the PBA and the SBP that the SBP will not get any player from the pro league for the national team.

    U feel pressured coz u don't want to give up Williams>>Encarnado said. “From there we can probably see kung pwede. We have to balance siyempre yung team and yung pagiging patriotic natin.”>.Our national hero didn't balance whatever needs balancing when he gave up his life ...he sure wasted his life for people like u..Money isn't everything its the ONLY THING

    See, PBA people were crab mentality. PBA is there for money making and ads. They don't care for this country. I don't think SBp puts pressure on them, they were just sharing there idea in the public. Still at the end, they will communicate with Sta. Lucia. It is clear that Buddy Encarnado doesn't want to lend Williams to the National Team.

    Dapat isasagot ni Mr. Encarnado, its an honor that one of our players is chosen to don the national color, well I would like to recommend to SBP to make a formal request etc etc. Napaka negative naman nang statement ng mga taong ito, akala mo anong pinag awayan na titulo sa PBA, pang barangay lang naman na titulo yan sa tingin namin.

    Dito sa middle east well informed ang fans ng PBA at Gilas. At sa present viewership ng PBA, marami ng nawalan ng gana manood ng PBA.

    Diyan na lang sa Pinas ang mahina info campaign about the national team issues. PBA mentality will only change pagka manipis na viewerships.

    “From there we can probably see kung pwede. We have to balance siyempre yung team and yung pagiging patriotic natin.”

    SBP should start looking for other options because this stament simply implies that they are not willing to give K. Williams... kaya wala nangyayari sa sports program natin kasi nauuna tlaga ang "self-interest" kaysa sa kapakanan ng "Bayan"...

    Mr. Buddy Encarnado, ito ay maliwanag na sinabi ni Coach Toroman. Wag kana ma-insecure sa kanya. Wala siyang motibo para mang-agaw ng pwesto sa BCAP.

    hoy mr. buddy encarnado! bakit ka naman mape-pressure. e wala pa nga formal request. Kinausap na ba kayo? Hina-harass ba kayo? What they said in public is a wishlist. Nuon ba, nung kayo ang nag-express in public na kunin si Marlou Aquino even before the draft e sinabihan ba kayo ni Marlou na pine-pressure nyo siya. Nagiinarte lang kayo para kunwari may dahilan kayo na hindi magpahiram. Kung ayaw nyo magpahiram, e di wag. Tutal pabagsak na naman ang liga ng PBA e.

    Balance between Team and Being Patriotic?

    When was the last time nag-ka-MEDAL ang PILIPINAS sa FIBA ASIA?
    Don't you feel the NEED and URGENCY of being PATRIOTIC?
    There is imbalance already.
    The PBA has become non-Patriotic.
    Worst ng naging COACH si YENG GUIAO na sobrang TAMAD at sinayang ang magandang BRACKETTING ng PILIPINAS.

    There is no need to BALANCE.
    EVERYONE must favor and choose to be PATRIOTIC.

    Makinig ka MR. ENCARNADO sa PHILIPPINE RADIO.
    Anu maririnig mo? KOREAN SONGS.
    Pagkakataon mo ipakita ang pagiging MAKABAYAN nyo MR. ENCARNADO.
    Set a good example.
    Wag ng OA please.

    Mr.Encarnado with all due respect sir, I think you are just power tripping. SBP may have been sending feelers by their words but I can't understand why you are taking so much offense at that. If you are not agreeable, then just say so.

    SMART Gilas was asked by the press who they want from the PBA, and an answer was given. SLR should not feel pressured by the answer because the question from the press was reasonable. Besides the decision to lend Williams is still the decision of SLR.

    PARA MABALIK ANG MGA FANS NG PBA AY DPAT MAY PLAYER/S SA PBA NA SIKAT INTERNATIONALLY AT YUN AY MATUTUPAD KUNG MAGLALARO ITO SA SMART-GILAS WHICH IS NAGLALARO INTERNATIONALLY.DUN DADAMI PO ANG MGA FANS NG PBA.

    no doubt nsa PBA parin ang mga best cagers d2 sa pinas unfortunately eh nabubolok sa sistema ng laro d2 sa PBA kaya pagdating sa mga fiba tournaments ay hindi nage-excel..
    smantalahin na natin ang pgkakataon habng nsa atin pa c toroman. i send na po natin ang best cagers natin pra mabigyan ng sistema ni toroman.
    PARA PO SA KARANGALAN NG PILIPINAS.

    I think it will be kelly's decision if he wants to suit up for gilas or not, saka anu ba yan sa totoo lang nakakatamad na manood ng PBA, i was a purefoods fan way back alvin, jolas era, umuuwi ako ng maaga from school para lang maabutan ko first game pero ngaun honestly i really dont care. wala na yung excitement, which gilas brought back.

    Kung pahiramin nila si Kelly Williams, dapat may logo ng Sta Lucia East Realty and uniform ng SMART GILAS...

    Tapos may rental fee sila kay Williams.

    O dapat Uniform ng Sta Lucia pag dark Jersey ang gamit ng Gilas...

    O kaya mag-eendorse ang mga GILAS players ng Sta Lucia East properties free of charge.. (siguro
    o exempted na si Tiu dahil conflict of interest, sa knaila Tagaytay Highlands di ba?)

    Malaki laking mileage na yan, good for business di ba?

    I tink encarnado was rayt wen he said, we have 2 balance patriotism & personal interest. come on guys, lets be practical, only a few are wiling 2 sacrificed almost everyting 4 his country's sake. I ask everyone a question: wil you work 4 your country without any compensation? I know dat 99% of you wil answer NO, & dats a big NO! So who are we 2 critisize encarnado wen being in d same situation, we wud have done probably d same? from MAVERICK

    Si MVP.
    Gumagastos para sa Bayan.
    Pera nya yun ginagamit sa Gilas.
    Does MVP favor COUNTRY over BUSINESS?
    The answer is a big YES.
    We need more people like Efren Penaflorida and MVP and less people like MAVERICK and Lito Alvarez and Sonny Barrios and Yeng Guiao.

    kung sa boxing may freddie roach, sa basketball may toroman. i hope pba should trust him the way manny trusts roach. toroman believes that the national team needs the 3 pba players for the success of our national team. sana maintindihan nang pba yong idea na yon. wag na nilang sabihin na hindi kailangan yong pba players, kasi nga SINABI NANG KAILANGAN. Kasi sina alvarez may sama lang nang loob yan sa smart gilas. kaya kung ako sa kanya tumahimik na lang sya. NAGMUMUKHANG MADAMOT LANG ANG PBA. Sa isang banda sila din ang mawawalan nang fans. Dadami ang fans nang smart gilas. Filipinos love underdogs, ung inaapi. Wrong political move on the part of PBA. later on, fans will turn away from pba (well nangyayari na).

    THE PBA IS NOT PATRIOTIC FOR SURE..BUT MAYBE SOME OF THE PLAYERS ARE..

    THEREFORE MY PLEA GOES TO K. WILLIAMS:

    HI KELLY! THIS IS A CHANCE TO REPRESENT THE COUNTRY ONCE MORE AND TO PLAY FOR FLAG AND COUNTRY IS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND RARE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. YOU CAN LEAVE THE PBA FOR GOOD. WHO KNOWS, IF THE PHILIPPINES GETS A GOOD EXPOSURE IN THE OLYMPICS, YOU MIGHT HAVE A SLOT IN THE "NBA." :-)

    MABUHAY AND GOODLUCK TO TEAM PILIPINAS! THANK YOU SO MUCH SBP, SMART GILAS, EALA, THE PLAYERS, AND COACH RAJKO! YOU MAKE US ALL PROUD!

    -------------------------------------------------

    “A man without ambition is dead”
    Interesante ang pananaw ng ating katoto tungkol sa patriotism..so para sa iyo as long as we are represented e ok lang sayo yun kahit bokya at mukhang katawa tawa at whipping boys tayo ng Asya..nagampanan na ng mga players ang tungkulin nila para sa Bayan e..therefore patriotic na sila…tsk tsk tsk tsk..
    Ang ganitong attitude ng iilan kaya walang nararating ang ating bansa, Kung ganito ang paraan mo ng pagtanaw ng patriotism pare at sa tingin mo sa amin ay mga kawawa..pwes kawawa na kami..pero sa tulad ko na nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa lubos kong ginagamit ang aking kakayahan upang ipakita sa ibang lahi..lalo sa mga kanluranin na kaya ng Pinoy na makipagsabayan sa kanila..ayaw ko na minamaliit at binababa ang tingin sa ating mga Pilipino dahil naniniwala ako na magagaling at WORLD CLASS tayo..hindi lang naman ako ang may paniwala ng ganito..madami kaming mga nangingibang bayan na dala ang bigat ng responsibilidad na ipakita sa ibang lahi ang kakayanan natin…upang tayo ay RESPETUHIN…upang tayo ay HANGAAN.
    Masisisi mo ba kami kung aming hingin sa mga kinauukulan na ibigay din nila ang lahat para sa ating bayan? Lahat tayo ay binigyan ng maykapal ng kakahayan para ating gamitin para sa ikabubuti at ikararangal ng bansa. Binigyan niya ang mga PBA players ng kakayahan maglaro ng basketball para gamitin pero bakit kanila itong pinagdadamot?
    Gusto ko ibahagi sa iyo ang isang experience ko dito. Nung makathird place ang Gilas dito sa Middle East nilapitan ako ng isang Jordanian at tinanung ako kung Pilipino ako sabi ko oo, sinabi niya na “your team was very good they beat us”, inispecial mention pa si Casio pare alam mo ba pakiramdam ng purihin sila ng ibang lahi kaibigan, para nading pinuri ka nila? Palagay ko ay hindi alam ang pakiramdam ng ganun kasi kaiba ang pananaw mo sa patriotism e.
    Food for though kaibigan…
    “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
    “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
    "Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it."

    Kung kuntento ka sa kahong iyong kinalalagyan..kami hindi...

    Pressured talaga si Buddy.

    Mauudlot kasi yung pagbenta nya kay Williams sa Al Riyadi.

    Masasayang lang ang pagod nya at pamasahi sa pagpunta sa Dubai para ibenta kay Coach ng Riyadi.

    Masasayang din lang ang oras, pagod at pamasahe ni coach ng Riyadi sa pagpunta dito sa Pilipinas para panoorin si Williams sa PBA.

    Kailangan talaga ng Al Riyadi ng Physical Therapists na magaling mag basketball. Tulad ni Williams.

    TNT & ROS are willing to release Norwood and Dillinger because they don't need them as much as SLR needs Williams.

    Todd Rundren...SLR has won its only All Filipino championship with Williams in fact. SMC TNT BGK all spend money to get the "best" players. I wonder why Toroman isn't wishing for any of those players. Williams turned down SMC when they tried to make arrangements before he was drafted.

    Its obviously not about the money with Williams. Maybe for SLR but not for Williams. Kelly obviously proudly wears the RP colors as he has shown the past tournaments.

    People, if you are a fan of the PBA, support them. If you're a fan of flag and country, support that. But don't put the other down. That mentality does not help the country as a whole and as a people.
