One of the main stars of this conference's Petronovela Renaldo Balkman is "banned for life" in the PBA. His sentence was handed Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner Atty. Chito Salud. Salud not only banished him from the league but he was also fined 250,000 pesos. Wow, that's a over year's salary for an average Juan de la Cruz.
The drama at Peron continues as many die-hard fans felt that PBB's (Petron Blaze Boosters) "telenovela" is hindering the ascent of the team. Last conference, they had a coaching drama leading them to almost at the bottom of the standings after being touted to be one of the strongest teams on paper. This conference after a great start, one of their leading men chocked a fellow leading man causing the producer (commish) to implement a harsh punishment. The show was supposed to be rated PG but what Balkman and company did rivaled the unknown stars of "face to face" or "personalan". After seeing the video of what happened last friday, many sarcastic fans were reminded of Claudine Barretto vs. Mon Tulfo.
Slowly but surely the PBA is evolving into a mini-teleserye. TV5 even interviewed Balkman a few days after the incident which was handled like Boy Abunda or Lolit Solis interviewing a movie star. By the rate they are going, the PBA could soon dislodge Ina, Anak, Kapatid as the top telenovela in the country.
The PBA could use the incident to evolve into like WWE. They could probably add chairs and blood to increase the ratings further. Next would come costumes since they already have nicknames like Kracken, Ninja, Spark, Lieutenant, Captain Hook, and Extra Rice Inc. With the incident garnering over a million hits already , the PBA somehow became viral. Bad publicity is still publicity.
As for Petron, they are now looking for a new leading man. If you want to audition the requirements would be you must be over 6-8 in height, choir boy looks and manners, no tattoos, and the type who would hug teammates instead of pushing them away. If you qualify or if you know someone you can act as his manager and make tons of money.
