Purefoods, a former Ayala Group food company now under the giant SMC umbrella, needs a two-third vote of the board or it will have its PBA franchise bidding goodbye to the league at the end of the season.

Pasig-Rizal and ABS-CBN are each paying Alvarez P250,000 monthly.

Manila Metrostars' ace slotman Rommel Adducul may just hop in the last bus ride
to the PBA this season.

A reliable source said at least four PBA teams have started sending feelers to
Adducul once again after hearing news that the Metrostars management is now
open to discussion for a possible buyout deal involving its star cager.

Apparently, Manila officials have thought it's better to release Adducul now
than lose him without compensation as his contract will expire at the end of
the year.
