"It's common knowledge what boss Danding has done for sports. Till his passing, he supported sports and athletes. It is a great loss for the sports world but his legacy lives on," said PBA legend Ramon Fernandez, now a commissioner at the Philippine Sports Commission. After the ABC disqualified the Philippines for having naturalized players in the 1983 event in Hong Kong, Jacobs slashed the naturalized Filipinos to 3 – center Dennis Still, forward Jeff Moore, and deadshot Chip Engelland – and strengthened the local core led by Hector Calma, Allan Caidic, Naning Valenciano, Franz Pumaren, and Yves Digandice.

As chief executive officer of San Miguel Corporation, Cojuangco saw his 3 PBA teams – San Miguel, Barangay Ginebra, and Magnolia – achieve immense success.

Sad for his family. But not to be glorified in death. Too many unanswered questions about where and how riches accumulated alongside the Marcoses'. Talents misapplied.

Was one of Marcos' cronies who got thrown out with him. Managed to get back, reclaimed his lootings. Voters not gullible to elect him. A gifted robber baron of all time.
