Oh, really, this is my first time I heard that those PBA Stars like Pingris and Fajardo have been joining in the E-sports playing. Well it was a good idea, because we are now in our homes because of the coronavirus outbreak and I think it is the best moment to try E-sports to prevent of getting bored in our homes. Me too I don’t know on how to support this famous PBA players, I think I will support them by watching this match at April 6. Thank you for sharing the good news to us.

Nice information you brought here.

James Yap turned 38 last February so plenty of time left to pass the 11th rank and he is one of the main men for the Rain Or Shine so definitely even the PBA takes a break for now due to pandemic virus he has lots of opportunity and chances to achieve it.

Unlike for Caguaio, now near retirement and almost averaging 1-3 minute a game. He is now 40 years old so no chance now to break the 14th place. But achieving 10,000 points is already an achievement of a PBA player. Maybe that's the reason why he doesn't want to retire when he already passed his prime for him to be included in the 10,000 point marks.

Arwind Santos is also at 38 and will turn 39 this June. Still, lots of works to be included in the 10,000 point mark as we know the SMB team has lots of scorers.

Non of the active players in the PBA now has reach the top 10 yet, and I was surprise James Yap is leading the scoring. Damn I think he is really good during his time with the san mig coffee and teams prior to that.

Now, I know the reason why they called him BIG GAME JAMES.

I'm wondering now if they really play good teamwork before compared today, and before games are more physical so scoring are less, we should be breaking that record already.

Since most of us are now lurking most of the time in front of our desk, I've watched some of the basketball game highlights that marked in history either PBA, NBA, and MBA (the now, MPBL version).

One game highlight I watched is the 81-point game of Kobe Bryant and when LeBron James passed him in the All-time scoring leaders. It's now lead me to check the total score made by NBA players. Then somehow I lurk to PBA news and saw some article about its All-time Scoring Ladder so I began thinking, why the hell all these times, I didn't even think of checking the total scoring leaders in our own, Philippine Basketball Association.

Here's the Top 20: ((Wiki is not updated)

1. Ramon Fernandez - 18,996
2. Abet Guidaben - 15,775
3. Alvin Patrimonio - 15,091
4. Atoy Co - 12,994
5. Nelson Asaytono - 12,668
6. Philip Cezar - 12,077
7. Jojo Lastimosa - 12,008
8. Bogs Adornado - 11,967
9. Robert Jaworski - 11,760
10. Allan Caidic - 11,719
11. Jerry Codiñera - 10,868
12. James Yap - 10,792
13. Benjie Paras - 10,322
14. Francis Arnaiz - 10,292
15. Mark Caguioa - 10,071
16. Freddie Hubalde - 9,927
17. Manny Victorino - 9,596   
18. Vergel Meneses - 9,453
19. Arnie Tuadles - 9,430
20. Arwind Santos - 9,334

As we can see, J. Yap, Caguioa and Santos are the active players today. J. Yap can still catch up to Jerry Codiñera for the 11th rank even with the hiatus of PBA. Santos also has a chance to reach the 17th spot. However, for Caguioa, it looks like he will be in 15th place once he retires since even he is still active, his playing time is now mostly at the bench lol.

All of us are into this fight even staying at home is our fight no to spread the virus. I really salute those people who have the heart to help the President and all the frontliners who do their specific duties, it's life threatening for them but they still work for all of us. Right now all we can do is to support them and abide to the order from the government.

And just later on he (President) addresses that the financial assistance should not be delayed and hoping that it will not be cut for who distributing it and he assigned it instead to DSWD and not to the LGUs, seems a good one because mostly LGUs, you know what I mean.

It's the right time for these big companies to shine. Ramon S. Ang is a supporter of President Duterte on this time of crisis as he poured whatever resourses that he had to help the government on this fight. Government alone will be having a hard time containing this virus, they need the help of the business elite. After all when everything is over these big businesses will be the ones to gain something. They might be exempted to pat taxes for a year as an appreciation to what they have done  .

Thanks to this big companies who are complying with the president, they are bringing help to those less fortune people. It's a big lift as we knew
that the government can't handle everything but with the help of this different companies it will reach those who are in need.
Front-liners are very important right now and providing them the help will also help those that they are assisting.

I partly agreed with that. Even so the DOLE: 250,000 workers to get aid amid COVID-19 quarantine promise to received P5,000 has been hold by the "others" employee company coz of the losses of company not making an income this crisis.

I would like to see them donating food or necessary equipment need to combat the pandemic than just giving the money and let the government distribute it as I don't have trust with the government, our government is corrupt, especially in the LGU as they will be the ones who will distribute the help to the people.

There's no news/update regarding to those other teams helping their employees and others. But if we look at the bright side a lot of well financially people helped silently without the camera, so most probably, let's just assume the way like that.

Probably, since this is not a compulsory thing then we would not know everything, and some will prepare not to publish the help that they give.
Hopefully the "bayanihan" will enter in the hearts of the many who can afford to help financially, so together we can defeat the virus and we can get back our normal life.

Well I didn't know this news yet maybe I get busy thats why. It is good the even them has make their way to help others, also I read that Manny Pangilinan the owner of SMC already gave a lot to its employees and to the hospital. Glad that PBA members shows their support and help to those needy. How about other teams? Did they also give something or help?

These are the names taken from the article who showed their support.



And this struggling time, the government can't do it alone, we need the private sector to help the government as we are not a rich nation, that's why as a citizen, I really appreciate what they did and I am proud to be a PBA fan.

The link you shared is not working, this is the correct link - https://pba.ph/news/aces-doing-their-share-in-own-small-way

well, you are correct, they are also doing their own initiative to help the people, I can say that PBA has a great organization as everyone is helping, from the team owner down to the player and the president like that especially the donation coming from the SMC.

An appreciation post of the "real" aces in the reality whom given away all some relief goods to those unfortunate fellow Filipinos.

Another good deeds of the SMC management, they are donating PPE's worth millions.

After alcohol and nutribuns, SMC donates P500 million for PPEs

They are showing that they can also share their big profits in time of crisis, Php 500 million is a huge sum of money, I can only think how profitable the SMC is and how big of a bonus the SMB team will receive when they win championship.

I can't find any mechanics too. According to the article, the event was started last March 24 and they are now done with Marvel of War.

Just 4 days ago, they managed to raised Php250,000 and now it rose to Php400,000. Good job for those who take part in this Mineski's event.


Yes, I agree there will be no online betting for these as it was a charity game.

But if there is, I disagree that it will be rigged. If you know the game mechanics, you can actually see and understand if something unusual is happening and I doubt these players will take advantage of the current situation that the nation is dealing with. The game is live. It's a disgrace as a public figure if something goes wrong. The players involved are kind and helpful so I doubt they will take advantage of the situation just to make a profit to themselves.

Fajardo is already an online gamer since his ABL (Asean Basketball League) days. Junjun Cabatu was his partner back then and the later was also responsible in introducing him to Marc Pingris, that's one reason why they become best of friends.

I don't think this will be covered by the bookies as this is only a friendly tournament and a "play for a cause" event so they might not take it seriously.

This is not a big event, and this is for a cause so the public are not interested with this, they will instead just focus on the real esports games than this one, and these two knows each other, they could rig the game and bet for themselves, so it's not gonna happen.

@bisdak40, if this is available in sprortsbook for betting, then I think it would be more exciting, I heard that Pingris was really playing online games but my first time to hear that Fajardo is also playing too.
