00:00For our sports banter teammates, we mentioned Mr. Longbam earlier and we will talk more about his current situation here in the Philippines, Super League.

00:11So now, teammates, we will have on the other side, Mr. Jerry's plan, the PSL Commissioner.

00:19Good afternoon, Sir Jerry.

00:22Sir Jerry, Mr. Cool.

00:23Good afternoon to both of you, Daryl and Thorne.

00:26Cool, now we have a current situation involving Mr. Longbam.

00:35What is his status here in the Philippines, Super League?

00:41I will tell you. It stemmed from the comment I gave, very objective, after the season.

00:49When I said his first game, I was interviewed.

00:53When I said his first game, I said the offense was stagnant. He ran all the time.

00:59He was cut off from the FB.

01:05Some posted, but I said hopefully he will improve the next game.

01:09Coming from that, he improved. It's like we're one-on-one.

01:16I called him, that was yesterday, and I talked to him together with our coach, team manager and official, President Chris Bautista, the president of the PSL.

01:31We talked about it. I told him, the PSL is a professional league and we expect the participants to carry themselves with utmost respect and sportsmanship.

01:44What you did was not good, considering that I'm the commissioner and you're a player.

01:49We're not on the same level so you can do that to me.

01:53He was apologetic and we accepted the apology.

01:57But we will not let it slide. For sure, there will be sanctions.

02:02We will let you play first because he had a game yesterday.

02:06We will give you our sanction.

02:10The sanction is one game suspension and 15,000 pesos fine.

02:18Sir Jerry, thank you very much for clarifying this issue.

02:26PSL is coming back. How is the season of PSL?

02:31Good. PSL is doing well.

02:35This is our ongoing presidential cup.

02:39We have 11 teams that joined.

02:42The team is doing well.

02:44The only thing is, the flaggers who joined the lineup are from two different teams.

02:51Of course, I want to clarify this.

02:56PSL has been under attack.

03:00Actually, it happened to the coach, team manager and owner.

03:07They took those players.

03:09Then the captain is ministerial.

03:11When you apply for a professional license as a professional player, you will be given.

03:15We opened the lineup.

03:18We didn't have many players.

03:19All of a sudden, these flaggers came out.

03:23Of course, we will give them a fair chance to show their worth.

03:32That's why our eyes are on them.

03:34Especially those negative things about these two players.

03:39But in general, PSL is doing well.

03:48The matches are good.

03:50You will be happy if you see our sports enthusiasts, basketball enthusiasts,

03:57if you have a chance to watch our FB page, PSL page.

04:01The matches are good.

04:04You mentioned that we have influencers and content creators here in PSL.

04:11But what can you say to those basketball fans who don't deserve to play in professional leagues like PSL?

04:21Anybody is entitled to his opinion.

04:24Of course, basketball is number one in our country.

04:30Real talk, our basketball enthusiasts know who they are.

04:39That's why we were surprised to see those influencers.

04:44That's why we check their games.

04:48If they're just going to make a fool of themselves, we'll talk to the management.

04:53Because we don't have guidelines.

04:56With regards to that, we were caught by surprise to see these players.

05:00I'm not saying they're not deserving.

05:03There are some who are.

05:05But we will give them a chance.

05:08Because it's hard to judge.

05:12There's a saying, duty is in the eye of the beholder.

05:15Maybe we can see the coach, the team manager who got it from him.

05:20It's hard for us.

05:23We don't have the right to say, you can't play.

05:27We'll see along the way if they can match the level of play of being a professional player playing in a professional league.

05:39That's right, Sir Jairino.

05:42But for the fans who want to watch PSL,

05:47it's January now.

05:49How will they go?

05:51Where will they go?

05:52And when is the schedule?

05:54Yes, what should we look forward to?

05:56Go to our page, the Philippine Super League page.

05:59We always put our schedules there.

06:03And where we'll play.

06:05Our schedule is, we have games every Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and then Fridays and Saturdays.

06:14The venues, we go around so we can lower the risk of those who want to play basketball.

06:23Now, we're here in the new era.

06:26Because we have games now.

06:28We're almost here.

06:31Next Tuesday, we'll go back to Marikina.

06:34So we go around.

06:36So you can see the right schedule, time, place, and venue.

06:41Go to the Philippine Super League page.

06:45Last one, on our end.

06:48Before the end of the PSL Presidents Cup, what are the leagues that the Philippine Super League should look forward to?

06:58Last year, we had a PSL Global.

07:04For the youth, we had 20-under, 18-under, and 16-under.

07:15So we have regional tournaments.

07:17Those who catch up in each region, Luzon, Desai, and Mindanao, go to Manila to compete with each other.

07:23Then we'll have finalists.

07:27Those who win in Luzon, Desai, Mindanao, and Metro Manila will be seeded for the Global Challenge.

07:35We invite youth teams from different countries.

07:40Last year, there were many from the UK, from Canada, from the US, from Thailand, to name a few.

07:49There are a lot of people joining.

07:52So this is what will come after this.

07:55PSL is in collaboration with MPBL.

08:00After this, we will take a break because it's the MPBL tournament calendar.

08:08After that, our Global will enter.

08:11We have a lot of upcoming events.

08:14It's not a basketball tournament.

08:17We're working on putting up a boxing tournament and billiard tournament.

08:23Thank you very much, Tom Jerry.

08:26We have a lot of tournaments and events lined up this year.

08:31Again, thank you very much, Tom.

08:33Thank you very much for your time, PSL Commissioner Jerry Esplana.
