“We are all excited to play and I think we’re facing a competitive Blackwater team,” said Vanguardia in an interview. “Blackwater also has new players like top pick Mac Belo, so they are no longer a pushover team,” added Phoenix team governor Raymond Zorillo. Meanwhile, Rain or Shine will start its post-Yeng Guiao era when it battles Talk ‘N Text. We have to play our best against Talk ‘N Text and we are hopeful to win our first game,” said Garcia. Assistant coach Josh Reyes will lead the Texters against Rain or Shine in the temporary absence of head coach Nash Racela.
