[Title] => Sunkist-UST to banner RFM’s return to PBL
[Summary] => For the love of the league it helped establish and nurture to become the country’s premier amateur basketball league, RFM Corporation will rejoin the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) starting with the season-ending 2003 Platinum Cup.
"PBL’s new approach of tapping school based teams opens the door for us to rejoin the league which we were a founding member," said RFM president and chief operating officer Joey Concepcion. "PBL’s program is more or less parallel with our own objective."

[Title] => Montaña trades de Ocampo to Pop Cola
[Summary] => More concerned with the future of the team, Montaña has officially traded Ranidel de Ocampo, undeniably the best amateur center in the country these days, to newcomer Pop Cola in a move that surprised coaches in the PBL.
Blessed with the speed and soft touch from the perimeter not typical of a big man, de Ocampo, 21, is a mainstay of the national team for the coming Vietnam SEA Games and is likely to turn pro next year.

[Title] => PBL: De Ocampo ibinigay ng Welcoat sa Pop Cola
[Summary] => Dahil sa hangad nila ang magandang kinabukasan ng koponan, opis-yal na ipinamigay ng Montaña si Ranidel de Ocampo, ang pinakama-husay na amateur center ng bansa sa kasalukuyan sa bagitong koponan na Pop Cola na ang nasabing hakbang ay isang malaking sorpresa sa mga coaches sa PBL.
Biniyayaan ng bilis at mahusay na kamador mula sa perimeter na wala sa ibang manlalaro na gaya niya ang taas, ang 21-anyos na si de Ocam-po, mainstay ng national team sa nalalapit na Vietnam SEA Games ay nakatakdang umakyat na sa pro league sa susunod na taon.

[Title] => Viva, Montana trounce rivals
[Summary] => Motivated by his performance in a tough playoff victory over Blu Star Power the last time out, Dennis Miranda took over for Viva Mineral again as the Water Force stunned the John-O Senators, 60-58, at the start of the semifinal round of the Sunkist PBL Unity Cup at the Pasay Sports Complex.
Two days after erupting for 23 points, Miranda was at it again yesterday, scattering nine of his 14 points in the fourth quarter as the Water Force completed their stunning comeback from deficits of as many as 15 in the second quarter.

[Title] => Viva tests John-O; Hapee vs Montana in PBL semis
[Summary] => Between a well-rested squad and a worn-out team, one would surely pick the former but Viva Mineral Water vows to outdo itself as it battles John-O today at the start of the semifinal round of the Sunkist PBL Unity Cup at the Pasay City Sports Complex.
"Everybody knows we’re tired," said Viva coach Coy Banal, whose wards are coming off a tough playoff victory over fancied Blu Star Power. "But we’re not going to let it stop us from achieving our main goal, which is to make it into the finals."
Gametime is set at 2 p.m.

[Title] => Viva rips Blu, makes last trip to semis
[Summary] => Viva Mineral Water toughened up on defense in the fourth quarter as it outlasted Blu Star Power, 71-56, yesterday to gain the last slot in the Sunkist PBL Unity Cup semifinals at the Pasig Sports Center yesterday.
The Water Force held the Detergent Kings without a field goal and to only eight charities in the first nine minutes of the payoff period — a good defensive job that keyed the crucial win.
Dennis Miranda unleashed a monster game with 23 points including a buzzer beater from way, way out in the first quarter.
