Just a week ago, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), the country’s National Sports Association for basketball, elected its new board of trustees and officers. Known sportsman and business mogul Manuel V. Pangilinan (MVP) and twelve other officials that served the federation for ten years officially ended their watch on August 8, 2016, paving the way for the new set of trustees. The newly-elected board of trustees then elected the officers led by Meralco executive Al Panlilio as President, Senator Sonny Angara as Chairman, Congressman Robbie Puno as Vice Chairman, and Ateneo official Ricky Palou as Treasurer. Sonny Barrios was retained as Executive Director.
