Test of strength

You can't blame Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner Emilio
(Jun) Bernardino for standing firm on his decision to forfeit Tanduay's two
semifinal wins over Purefoods even at the risk of going to jail.

Bernardino isn't being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. His motive
isn't personal. He's determined to protect the integrity of the league. If
Bernardino backs down, the PBA will never be the same again.
