This isn't easy for us who are expecting to see the conference to resume soon, looks like we are back to the old days were PBA are having a hard time to figure out how to continue operating while the covid-19 cases are increasing fast.

The rate of spreading of Omicron is even faster than the Delta even though the severity of it is lesser than that of Delta. Just this day, there are new 17,220 cases and the positivity rate is around 36.9% which means 1 out of every 3 people who are having their swab test ending up being positive.

For PBA, worst case scenario is they will enter the bubble again which I think might be possible but will the BOD try to go that route knowing that they might have lesser revenues. They can't afford to stop the conference anymore because they started it already and one thing more is that franchises will not allow it. Lets just see how the management will deal with this and I'm pretty sure that they will do everything to at least finish this conference.

Do you think the data is accurate? I'm just curious, why there's no spread last month? and now this spread is very high. I guess our government is not telling the truth, it seems like they're manipulating the data for whatever reason they have and I sense it's not good.

Can't say TBH. I'm just saying what the media is saying. Maybe the government is lying or not we don't know.
I don't want to say that they are manipulating the data either because we already know how fast this Omicron spreads and even though right now we only have 43 cases base on this article, we already have a local transmission meaning the virus is everywhere especially in the NCR.

Whether they are manipulating it or not doesn't matter at least for me because what matters is our safety still. Whether it is 17,000 or 10,000 or even lower, there is still the deadly shitty virus out there. Its very surprising though that the cases tripled in just a span of 2 days.

I'm not surprised because the virus has already spread prior to the restrictions they implemented just recently. The test maybe was just conducted earlier but there are already people who are asymptomatic who are roaming around since last month we are allowed to party already and go to public places.

Sad to say, but PBA are trying to recover back from that last 2 years having this virus, this might be the reason behind they are still looking for best

solution that may give them some light, but with the widespread of this virus in which it's no longer NCR but also other places around the country

are also in talks of placing to alert level 3, the numbers of infected people are really growing. The chance of bubble setup would be the last but also

possibly the best option to prevent players and staff being infected with this virus. BOD has.

Chill back and relax guys. Let's accept the fact that we will not see any games this week. What we need to hope for is for the number of cases to drop down on which likely won't happen until January 15. This is crazy and every household does have a sick person.

It all happened after New Year. Can't believe it happened at most places at the same time.

Unfortunately for venue staff and employees, they don't have work again as event places are closed.

We can chill but for the entire economy and those people that are really affected by this, another higher alert level is what makes me think. We can wait for the PBA to get back but for those who are badly affected, it's been two years for them and they're just about to recover and here it comes again. But you're right, this is the season of getting sick, cold weather and this is usually every after the new year. I as well got sick.

Even if we know that this is a season that almost every household have a flu, but still we shouldn't take this lightly because we might drag other people if ever it could be the new variant, we just really don't know that's why a precaution is a must.
As we rest, might as well relax while waiting for the government and IATFs news regarding this bubble if they would extend it or not, I hope these things won't last long and cool down as people are really affected and so that we can watch again our favorite PBA teams playing in court and take some bets.

only the situation in NCR could tell, if the cases will not stop rising, then most likely the IATF cannot make a decision about the resumption of the conference, but there's always a bubble, PBA has to make a quick decision to shift into that set up if they want to return the soonest possible time.

They are indeed manipulating the data and I think, this is the real scenario since they just lower the cases to give way to holidays so many business will be able to earn some profit before the year end. Though the total case today is surprising, I believe a worst case scenario can still happen and it can totally affect PBA especially this conference.

If the government can contain the current spread happening in NCR then provably we will not see NCR to remain at alert level 3 but for now I guess all still fine since January 15 is not quite far and maybe at the end of their set timeline we can see the PBA continue and also for sure they know how to handle the situation since they concerned authority know how to handle this cases since they already experience more worse than this.

Yes, you are right, as they have experienced such stuff in the past, they should be aware of what works best and what doesn't. Hope that the cases don't go sky-rocketing right now.

Quote from: Fredomago on January 06, 2022, 02:09:28 AM

Oh, I wish the government learn from that past 2 years of this virus existence, even it's a new variant hopefully they are more prepared now and have good set plans to avoid wide spread of this virus, if eve that happened we may see PBA here in metro but in case alert would not change PBA still have options.

They can use bubble set up and continue while waiting for another call from the government.

Either they will wait or they will proceed with another set up, we just have to wait for now..

I heard somewhere it was talked about the semi-bubble setup but I feel like bubble setup would be a far better option. Now that they are experienced with these conditions, I hope they will make the best decision considering everything happening right now.

Let's have some good news first for us PBA fans, specifically the Gin Kings fans here.

Per news below, it seems that the rumors of CStand going to Japan is now scrapped after the latter have signed a three year contract with Ginebra so this means that the SMC management has still trusted the Fil-German banger despite the not so good showing of Ginebra last conference.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/ginebra-locks-standhardinger-to-new-three-year-contract-a793-20220105?ref=home_featured_big

CHRISTIAN Standhardinger is still in the process of learning the system of coach Tim Cone with Barangay Ginebra.

But he need not be in a hurry to familiarize himself with it since he’ll be with the team for the long haul.

Still learning the system after this long? Grin

You made me smile Grin

such a system is too difficult to learn, I guess, taking another conference to continue learning how things should be
is not a good excuse. Maybe that good news of keeping him inside this league will allow him to adjust. He's already with ring contender team. They are doing good now with BrownLee.

The good thing about CStand is he is a good complement to an import like the caliber of Brownlee. He is a good defender of the opponent's imports too so if everything is back to normal, we could say that out of 3 conferences, he is useful to two import laden conferences, not bad at all

.

Quote from: Fredomago on January 05, 2022, 11:39:22 AM

Just waiting for upcoming updates in regard to what will be the setup. Delaying the game if it because of safety protocols is not bad.

The thing now is we don't know when will they will resume back..

Per report from the DOH, Philippines logged 10k plus new covid-19 cases yesterday alone, biggest so far for almost a year so we can't expect PBA to be back soon as i think they are not keen on doing this on a bubble.

It's understandable because of the omicron surge and that's why the games have been stopped. They just have to do the right thing so that everyone is going to be safe.
We're used to waiting and that's all they need to do for them to secure themselves and we can wait until the alert level goes down again, alert level 2 is already fine when it does.

Yeah, for the moment all we can do is just to hope and pray that the surge will stop as that's the only way the PBA will resume. We should see it this month though, doesn't matter if it's the end of the month as long as the season will continue. As of now, there's no news saying that the season is cancelled, so it's a positive sign tha that they will continue this.

The timing is normal if there's no pandemic, what I mean, the cold weather after new year was there before. We are not afraid of cases like this

before at it was expected due to this climate changes, but because of covid, most of us are scared thinking that we are affected or infected by this

new omicron variant, and for that, hospitals are also taking advantage, the very chance that even with a normal flu and headache they can admit

you with omicron findings.

PBA commissioner just did the right thing, is for the best of everyone inside this league, they don't need to rush in terms of deciding,

waiting now for the final update.

I too got sick but am now finally feeling well. No cough but just flu. But like the others says here, surprisingly, almost all houses here in our compound do have a family member that is not feeling well. Still not seeing it yet as related to pandemic as almost everyone is affected.

Back to PBA, let's expect an update by either Saturday or Sunday. That's the timeline we are expecting we can get a public update from PBA unless IATF still can't decide on what to do in the future of PBA.

Numbers of people are now jobless again and that's another burden for the government as they are given allowances for the time being. yes, we have to be very positive that the cases will slowly drop so we can get back to normal again, but as they said, we have to be more patient as it will not happen easily, it will take a little time.

I hope the Imports will also understand, not sure about their terms and condition but if the pause is long then I guess they deserve to get paid even if they are not playing for their stay.

MANILA, Philippines – The PBA has postponed all of its scheduled Governors’ Cup games this week after the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) raised Metro Manila to Alert Level 3 following a big surge of COVID-19 cases.
The decision comes as the league awaits a confirmation and further instructions from the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) for the continuation of its operations.
In an official statement on Monday, January 3, the PBA also noted that it needs the approval of various local government units (LGUs) before resumption of play.

Source: https://www.rappler.com/sports/pba/postpones-all-games-january-3-9-2022-alert-level-3/

I think that's the best we've got for now, because the government can't afford to impose another 15-day lockdown and as still many individuals are not yet vaccinated due some various reasons so a bubble would be ideal. The PBA had no choice but to agree to the current resolution and postpone its games until further notice. We'll see some update on January 15 if this alert would be extended.

I'm about to post this when I've seen GAB has said no contact sports and the PBA just did the right thing. No bubble, no games for now boys. We take this as rest for now.
But hopefully after this alert level status and it goes down to 2, we're all going to see things going back eventually to normal. This is truly hard when it just happened all of a sudden.

Are they still considering to play outside NCR since some areas are still on Alert level 2?
Well, if this is their final decision we should accept that and yes this could be their resting period and hopefully this new variant will slowly fade away and will not worsen our situation, let's hope that everything will go back to normal the soonest, Alert level 2 will be back and I'm confident about this.

I don't think that they're allowed to go outside NCR as the bubble is still implemented while it's still on Alert level 3, local LGUs and IATF surely won't really approve that one as they can't also afford to have some local transmission if PBA will really play outside NCR and have some places to be crowded as PBA games is so famous locally and people would really want to see it live. Besides, PBA won't go nowhere as they have been already pouring too much money for this games alone after getting cancelled on the scheduled dates.
