When I saw this news on Facebook, I was shocked as well because we often see him reporting on a popular news TV show when it comes to sports.
It's just sad to see one of the most active sports journalist passing away.
A good commentator indeed, but I know him for his good reporting since he's a journalist. He will be missed that's for sure by many people that are involved into sports. Condolence to him and his family.

What's your opinion on this trade? I'm pretty sure Ginebra fans out there are happy to get these 2 talented players.
Ginebra is wise, they're always like this. They've already used CStand and Pringle and they'd go with the younger talents.
Nothing new for me, but this is always the case. AFAIK, CStand will go to Magnolia after this trade with Terra Firma.
I don't see it as wise TBH. They're just using their power to do these kind of unfair trades. Just yesterday, we've seen the 3rd pick as RJ Abbarientos, a solid Point guard that's also good at shooting threes as well. That would've been the pick for TerraFirma, but went to Ginebra. These are the reasons why I hate watching PBA anymore. No offense especially for die hard PBA fans out there, but you knew it already that the competition around the team has been long gone ever since they are approving lopsided trades like this one.
CStand has a few years left before reaching his post-prime years. Pringle on the other hand has reached it already and he's injury prone. I will not be surprised if he will go to another team like Magnolia like you said, or even an MVP team like Meralco.
