With Sta. Lucia's defeat to Coca-Cola last Sunday, the team bids farewell to the PBA. After 17 years of providing excitement and entertainment to PBA fans, Sta. Lucia finally exits the league. Like its loyal fans, I am deeply saddened by the demise of the Sta Lucia team. I have watched the team from its maiden year to its final struggling years. From Zandro Limpot to Ryan Reyes, I have seen the team's highs and lows. From Nat Canson to Boyet Fernandez, I have seen Sta. Lucia's commitment to keep its fans happy.
With all the things said about Sta. Lucia, I would just like to add a few good words to two of the men behind Sta. Lucia. Mr. Buddy Encarnado has been the force while Coach Boyet has been the heart behind the team. More than being an owner, Mr. Encarnado took care of the people making up the whole team and their families. Coach Boyet , on the other hand, gave opportunities to players who were talented yet lacking in exposure. The two served people in the team selflessly and sincerely.
It is truly a sad day for the PBA and its followers as Sta. Lucia takes its final bow in Asia's first professional basketball league.
Sayang din talaga yung Realtors. Model organization din sana. Poor promotion lang, kaya walang gaanong fans. I mean, why did they stick to that dull-colored jersey for, like what, 17 years?
ReplyDeleteMalas ang GREEN! Shell then SLR. Wala ng magsusuot ng GREEN sa PBA.
