This is the major loophole of the league since without these two big companies PBA will die since they are the one who's major contributor of the league so expect that commissioner or big bodies on the league cannot do anything once those companies target some good players outside or even on other team.
Because of that, we should hope that new big companies will soon join the PBA that can offer good salaries like San Miguel Corporation and MVP groups.
Adding to that, expect new rookies that will land on independent teams to be improved while they can and can become a rising stars and in the future, reach the All-Star or Superstar level. Not all good players can be signed to top companies. PBA is lacking good players, in general, that's why good talents are only limited to a few teams and are usually seen in top teams because of a much better contract offered by these companies.
Remember chook's to go express their interest to join the league and to avoid that to happen Purefoods change their name to Magnolia Chicken Juicy or something that will directly compete with chooks so PBA didn't give them a chance to be part of this league where the chance of business collisions may take place.Unlike before where Tanduay directly competes with Gins kings and Swift directly competes with purefoods, but now, after SMB and MVP bought those franchise the competition are only focusing with these two giant companies but in terms of business they are not competing with wide advertisement and exposure by using PBA as their channel to reach more fans and audiences.
PBA is huge business for those tycoons they market their own product and company as well they get huge amount of money in the league so there's no surprising about them blocking some companies who want to compete them in the league. And this is totally unfair since if the commissioner just allow those companies who got interest to join the league for sure the PBA will grow more and fans will love to see more teams compete on championship also I think the manipulation of certain teams will be lessen unto this. But unfortunately this will not gonna happen since it seems SMB owner and TNT owners holds the decision of the league and the commissioner cannot say anything against on their own will.
The Commissioner needs to stand with a new principle and not just being a puppet dummy of these two giant companies, if he will continue being afraid with what the bosses wants then nothing can be done for this league, along the way fans will continue to stop supporting this league and we know how lesser the fans now compared with the late 90s and early 2000 there are real rivalries where fans loves to cheers for their teams and favorite stars.
I've missed the whole thing about the news that the SBP was in the Senate for a hearing.

Actually we cannot expect to win in the international competition due to lack of chemistry, our players are getting offers from overseas with a high salary. What is happening here is that PBA has now become a farm team for overseas teams, sad, but that's the reality.
This exodus of Filipino players abroad is a very complicated problem for the PBA because how can they match the offer of those players where only a handful of teams can even afford to pay decent wages to its players? They are asking the help of GAB so they have the intent to stop this exodus which for me is to stop their opportunity of earning a decent amount in a little time.
Is this the end of the PBA? Talented players are playing overseas and what is left for the draft are those in the second round of the draft so this means the talent level of the PBA is declining, not good considering that PBA is the oldest professional league in Asia.
I didn't watch or read the full articles about this senate hearing just some clips from the news, I'm just wondering why the senators are focusing with the players and the team owners but didn't tackle about the coach where pilipino fans are really voicing it out,.We have seen a lot of Senators during that gilas game against Saudi Arabia, the Boos for coach Choke should be the focus, not sure if this also been discuss during that meeting, I only heard about players moving overseas and if why PBA can't match the salary that overseas team offers to our local stars.
