MANILA - The top performers of the past two seasons of the PBA were honored on Sunday night, during the first ever virtual awards night of the league's Press Corps.
Sharing the spotlight with the players and the coaches were the league's "frontliners" -- the PBA staff who made it possible to hold the bubble in Clark, Pampanga last year. They were given a special citation, formally received by PBA Deputy Commissioner Eric Castro via Zoom. "Nagpapasalamat ako sa PBA Press Corps. Paulit-ulit ko pong sinasabi -- kung wala ang media, wala ang PBA," said Marcial.
Meanwhile, the 2019 President's Award was given to Vergel Meneses, one of the PBA's 25 Greatest Players and now the mayor of Bulakan, Bulacan. This marks the fourth time in his career that Austria has won the Baby Dalupan Coach of the Year award."If you weren't inside , you really didn't know what an undertaking that was," said the 23-time PBA champion coach. "I want to thank the Board of Governors for putting it all together. It was like one big team in there, and Commissioner Willie Marcial was the leader of it all.
