SMC Sells Share in Coke; DISBANDMENT Looms
The Philippine Star 12/31/2006
San Miguel Corp. will have to decide whether to keep the rights on the Coca-Cola franchise in the Philippine Basketball Association in next few months following its sale of its 65-percent stake in Coca-Cola Bottlers Phils. Inc. (CCBPI) to Atlanta-based parent Coca-Cola Co. for $590 million.
The Philippine Stock Exchange was informed Friday of the sale which will be completed upon compliance by SMC and Coca-Cola Co. of the transition service program and cooperation agreement for a maximum of 18 months.
Within that period, the SMC management has to decide whether the PBA franchise would be included in the deal.
SMC basketball operations chief Robert Non said the management has yet to discuss the matter though he expected a decision could be made only after the ongoing PBA All-Filipino tournament. There were speculations San Miguel would keep the franchise through another SMC subsidiary that will take over Coca-Cola after the completion of the sale.
The giant food and beverage conglomerate has three other PBA ball clubs in San Miguel Beer, Ginebra San Miguel and Purefoods Chunkee. Before the current season started, word went around that Coca-Cola would soon disband as the club management sent key players Rudy Hatfield, Rafi Reavis, Billy Mamaril and Johnny Abarrientos to Ginebra.
The management also transferred coach Chot Reyes to San Miguel then took in coach Binky Favis who formed a ragtag team composed mostly of rookies and free agents. The Tigers finished ninth place in the Philippine Cup double-round classification phase, barely avoiding early exit in the tourney.
Coca-Cola took over the Pop Cola franchise in 2002 after CCBPI purchased the Cosmos Bottling Corp. from the RFM Group of Companies.
Under coach Reyes and with Abarrientos, Reavis, Ato Morano, Jeffrey Cariaso and Rudy Hatfield among his key players, the Coca-Cola ball club made history by winning a title right in its first year in the league.
The Tigers pulled the rug from under the Alaska Milk Aces in the All-Filipino finals while playing the whole title series with Cariaso, Cris Bolado and Estong Ballesteros sidelined by injuries. Abarrientos missed the last three games after suffering fracture on his right cheekbone in a freak accident in the series opener.
Reyes won another title the succeeding tourney then steered the Tigers two more final appearances — achievements that weighed heavily as he was appointed to call the shots for the national training pool.
With Reyes on loan to the RP pool, Coca-Cola, however, went on a downhill ride starting in 2004.

Babilonia passes away
Former national player and long-time pro Vegildo "Gido" Babilonia passed away yesterday morning at the Medical City after a bout with pneumonia.
Born Aug. 19, 1966, the 6-foot-5 behemoth, who played juniors basketball for the Letran Squires before suiting up for UST Goldies, was assistant coach of Dindo Pumaren at UE at the time of his death.
Among the premier big men in the amateurs in the late 80s, Babilonia donned the national jersey in the 1989 Kuala Lumpur SEA Games then turned pro the following year.
Picked by Purefoods fourth overall in the 1990 PBA Rookie Draft, Babilonia went on to play 10 seasons in the country’s premier pro league. He also had stints with Shell, Pepsi/7-Up, San Miguel Beer, Mobiline/Talk n Text and FedEx.
Babilonia’s PBA career was interrupted by a heart ailment in 1996. and returned to play with the Pasig Pirates in the MBA.
After the fold-up of the MBA, Babilonia played for Mobiline
condolence to Gido.. tanda ko dati nung tinanong ang mga PBA players noon kung sino ang fave cartoon character nila, sabi ni Gido, si Bugs Bunny..![]()
