ABS-CBN S+A goes off air

One of the country’s top sports channels shut down its operations, Tuesday evening.

ABS-CBN S+A (Sports and Action) went off air, together with its mother channel ABS-CBN, after an order by the National Telecommunications Commission.

“Millions of Filipinos will lose their source of news and entertainment when ABS-CBN is ordered to go off-air on TV and radio tonight when people need crucial and timely information as the nation deals with the COVID-19 pandemic,” read ABS-CBN’s statement.

“This in compliance with the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) today that prohibits ABS-CBN from continuing its broadcast operations effective immediately.”

ABS-CBN S+A airs top collegiate leagues UAAP and NCAA. Other properties of the channel are ONE Championship, MPBL, PVL, and ABL among others.

Also going black at around 7:30 PM were DZMM TeleRadyo, Knowledge Channel, O Shopping, Asianovela Channel, Movie Central, Jeepney TV, and MYX.

Still up are CineMo, Yey!, and ANC.

ABS-CBN’s web portals, including sports.abs-cbn.com, will also remain online.

The network’s application renewal has been pending in Congress for quite some time now. Congress has asked the NTC to grant ABS-CBN a temporary license to continue but the solicitor-general has denied the request, saying that if the commission does so, it will be put on trial for graft.

The only remaining all-sports local channel on air after this will be One Sports.

ABS-CBN set to comply with NTC order to shut down

A Philippine government agency has ordered the country's leading broadcast network, which the president has targeted for its critical news coverage, to halt operations.

The National Telecommunications Commission ordered ABS-CBN Corp. to stop operations after its 25-year congressional franchise ended Monday.

The network's application for a renewal has been pending in Congress. Congressional leaders have asked the commission to grant it a temporary license to continue operations while its renewal request is pending, but the government's solicitor general has said it cannot operate without an approved franchise.

Media watchdogs have accused President Rodrigo Duterte of trying to muzzle critical independent media, but government officials said the network must comply with the law.

The broadcasting giant is expected to comply with the directive.

“Millions of Filipinos will lose their source of news and entertainment when ABS-CBN is ordered to go off-air on TV and radio tonight (5 May 2020) when people need crucial and timely information as the nation deals with the COVID-19 pandemic,” the company said in a statement.

“This in compliance with the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) today that prohibits ABS-CBN from continuing its broadcast operations effective immediately,” the statement added.

Several scenarios possible for UAAP Season 83, including January start

UAAP stakeholders believe that the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic will affect the hosting of Season 83, after it already forced the cancellation of the rest of Season 82.

Season 82 was officially canceled on April 7, after the Philippine government extended the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon. UAAP Executive Director Atty. Rebo Saguisag explained on 2OT that they had to end Season 82 by May 31, so that it would not affect the holding of Season 83.

"By canceling Season 82, the Board felt that it gives more wiggle room for Season 83," he said. "Rather than, dalawang missed season. Pinilit mo 'yung Season 82, apektado pa 'yung Season 83."

"So, sabi namin, we'd rather lose the battle in order to win the war," he added.

Given the current situation regarding COVID-19 in the Philippines, Saguisag admits that Season 83 will still be affected by the pandemic. As it stands, sports events are still considered among the mass gatherings barred under the guidelines of the General Community Quarantine, and gyms and fitness facilities are still not allowed to open as well.

Saguisag noted that if the UAAP is to open in September, then teams will have to be in training by July.

"We know, medyo long shot ata 'yan," he admits.

"So, we're actually open to the idea na maybe, baka January mag-start," he revealed. "We're already building different scenarios. Baka hindi lahat ng events, ma-accommodate for next season. So we really do not know."

Further complicating the situation is that the universities themselves have yet to make a definite decision on how they will go about the next academic year.

"Kung ang classes mo mismo, physical classes, masu-suspend, much more siguro ang sporting events," said Saguisag. "High risk, and there are very grave consequences na we have to consider. Mahirap isugal."

Another issue that cropped up was that of eligibility. Most athletes playing second semester sports such as volleyball and football only saw action in a couple of games; some didn't even get to play as the UAAP was canceled before their event could start.

Saguisag said the league is open to extending the eligibility of the second semester athletes, but again, there are several issues that they have to consider.

"It makes sense naman," he said. "It makes sense, if one or two games, or worse 'yung events na hindi natuloy, like baseball, bakit mo naman ika-count 'yan as a playing year, kung hindi naman natuloy."

"The bigger question, and I think the bigger issue that should be answered is what happens to the age requirement," he added. "And yan ang hindi pa namin masasagot as we speak. 'Yan ang medyo thorny issue or more interesting question."

PBA to wait until August before deciding on fate of suspended season

By Jonas Terrado

The PBA will wait until August to decide whether to resume or cancel the 45th season currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commissioner Willie Marcial said after Saturday’s teleconference with the league’s Board of Governors that the option of cancelling the season lies on whether the ongoing health crisis will continue to affect the country until the target timeline.

“Maghihintay kami until August to decide whether it’s still a go or a season cancellation,” Marcial said, as quoted by PBA.ph after the online meeting called by league chairman Ricky Vargas of TNT KaTropa.

 

PBA officials made this decision in reaction to the government’s recent decision to extend the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Metro Manila and select regions and a General Community Quarantine in other areas.

The government’s Inter-Agency Task Force had earlier decided that sports-related gatherings are barred under the ECQ and GCQ, thus making things difficult for an earlier return of the games.

Cancelling the season will be unprecedented for the league, which has never endured any disruption of this magnitude since it opened shop in 1975.

Weather-related issues and even a court order back in 2000 had forced the PBA to suspend games, but only on a short-term basis.

Meanwhile, the board also announced the suspension of any trades and the signing of players currently on the free agent market during the current situation.

Marcial, however, said teams can re-sign players whose contract have expired.

UAAP not in a position to make decision on new season, says Saguisag

THE UAAP is not in a rush to make any decisions regarding its future.

UAAP executive director Rebo Saguisag clarified that the league is still closely monitoring the situation brought upon by the global COVID-19 pandemic and when everything stabilizes, that's only when the decisions can be made.

"There seems to be confusion when there shouldn't be," the amiable executive said in a message to Spin.ph.

"We are not in any position to make decisions right now. We'll meet after May 15 and a lot depends on what the health experts and the government will say."

UAAP Season 82 came to a sudden halt in March following the spread of the virus in the country and the subsequent Luzon-wide lockdown, forcing the league to indefinitely suspend operations.

The remainder of the season was eventually cancelled on April 7, putting an abrupt end to the athletic calendar.

Scrapped were majority of the second semester events headlined by the much-anticipated volleyball tournaments. Also cancelled were the staging of football, baseball, softball, athletics, lawn tennis, 3x3 basketball and juniors beach volleyball tournaments as well as the streetdance and the demonstration sport of ballroom.

The league's Board of Managing Directors (BMD), made up of the athletic directors of eight member-schools met in an online conference last month.

Saguisag said that the BMD will once again convene in a still to be determined date depending on what the government permits under the quarantine rules.

"Mas lilinaw lahat after May 15 hopefully. That, I guess, will be the first order of business. It depends are we in ECQ, GCQ, or MCQ, on what is allowed and what's not allowed. And then we'll build from there," he said.

Among issues to be discussed is if a general championship will be awarded for the shortened UAAP Season 82 given that much of the tally is dominated by the completed first semester sports.

Based on Spin.ph's unofficial tally, University of Santo Tomas leads in both the seniors and juniors division.

UST has 209 points in the college level, putting it on pace for its fourth straight and 44th overall general championship.

Trailing the Growling Tigers are La Salle (181 points), Ateneo (162), and University of the Philippines (137).

The same was the case in the high school level, with UST collecting 159 points and is poised for its sixth consecutive crown and 21st overall.

Behind the Tiger Cubs are La Salle (122 points), National University-Nazareth School (114), and Far Eastern University-Diliman (97).

Also a point of contention is the status of players who were supposed to be in their final playing years, especially those who are already over the age of 25 such as Ateneo's Kat Tolentino and NU's Risa Sato.

Ateneo, the Season 82 host, has not formally turned over the hosting to La Salle, which was scheduled to take over for Season 83.

Meanwhile, the NCAA is looking at November for its formal opening, and Cebu’s Cesafi scrapped its next season altogether.

"All those matters are tabled," said Saguisag.

UAAP seniors could be eligible again for Season 83

UAAP’s graduating seniors, whose final year in the league was foiled by the cancellation of the games last month due to the corona virus pandemic, could still return for Season 83.

Board member Rod Roque of University of the East confirmed to Inquirer that graduating student-athletes, who played in the second semester of the canceled season, could still play in Season 83 if they fit the criteria set by the league.

This moved was approved after the UAAP Board convened on April 30.

The first rule of eligibility for the seniors is that should not be over 25-years-old during Season 83.

If already graduated from the school, student-athletes should also take up a second bachelor’s degree or enroll at the graduate school to be able to play.

“They are still qualified to play as long as they are still 25-years-old,” said Roque. “The student-athletes can enroll to a second degree or at the graduate school.”

“This is for the second semester sporting events, they can still play as long as they haven’t used up their five playing years and they’re still of age,” said Roque.

Season 82’s second semester sports were canceled after the national government declared enhanced community quarantine in Luzon to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The volleyball, football, baseball, softball, athletics, lawn tennis, basketball 3×3, ballroom formation dance, and streetdance competitions were all affected.

NCAA Season 96 looking at November start

The 96th season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association is being forced by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to move its start date way later than it had intended to.

Initially being scheduled to begin on August this year, Season 96 is now being eyed to open on November. This as the Inter-Agency Task Force has put sports under sectors that cannot operate even during the general enhanced quarantine to avoid mass gatherings.

“Fine-tuning pa. Marami pang aayusin. Baka early next week pa maipasa ang proposal to the policy board,” said Season 95 Chairman Peter Cayco of Arellano University.

“We have to consider a lot of things.”

Serving as host of Season 96 is Colegio de San Juan de Letran, an institution celebrating its 400th year.

Incoming chairman Fr. Vic Calvo, OP is working hand in hand with Jose Rizal University’s Paul Supan in formulating the contingencies for the upcoming season. It will have to be approved by the presidents of each member school — the Grand Old League’s policy board.

However, Calvo and Letran cannot plan anything yet since the hosting rights have yet to be turned over to them.

“We are still waiting for the league’s resolution and them formalizing our hosting,” Calvo said.

Also being factored is when the Commission on Higher Education will open classes in colleges and universities.

Season 95 was cut short by the pandemic, formally ceasing the tournament last March 19.

Events that were canceled were indoor volleyball, football, lawn tennis, soft tennis, track and field, under-15 basketball, and beach volleyball, as well as the cheerdance competition.

PBA may scrap season 45

A PBA season drawn up as a caravan of celebrations, with stops practically all over the country and even overseas, has gone awry.

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said the league is ready to call off the COVID-hit Season 45 altogether if resumption of play won’t still be possible by September or October.

“Government is considering the opening of classes by September. We’ll see kung papayagan na rin yung mass gathering (by that time). Kung hindi pa papayagan ang sports, baka i-cancel na natin yung season,” said Marcial.

The PBA board of governors is looking to convene online again this week for more discussions on the league’s situation and actions amid the pandemic that has crippled all sectors.

Metro Manila is currently under extended enhanced community quarantine until May 15. In case this will later be downgraded to general community quarantine status, activities involving large crowds won’t be allowed immediately.

If everyone’s worst fear happens, this will be the first time Asia’s first play-for-pay league will scrap an entire season.

“(If ever) Season 46 na tayo. Start ng March (2021). Yung champions ng three conferences ng Season 44, they will defend their crowns then; rookies (of Season 45) ay rookies pa rin, tapos madadagdagan pa (from 2020 Draft),” he said.

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the PBA was looking at a bevy of marquee projects to mark its 45th anniversary, and has projected record numbers in terms of revenues.

“Kung walang basketball, wala rin tayong activities. Malaking sakripisyo ang nangyayari sa PBA,” said Marcial.

The league set out to launch the inaugural 3x3 tournament and implement measures to improve officiating and the referees/table officials development program.

It also aimed to continue to reach out to the less fortunate and perform CSR activities, including Home Court where players and officials visit barangay street courts, Open Practice in college gyms, Blood Donation Drive, Kids Day Out, Make A Wish Foundation, World Vision, PBA Heroes and Veterans and PBA Run For A Cause.

The PBA also planned an exhibit road show of video clips, memorabilia and jerseys spanning 45 years in a docu-like production, which Marcial dubbed a “virtual multi-museum.”

But in this time of crisis, the league has done its share, donating P1 million worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) to health workers in Pasig, Antipolo and Biñan, Laguna.
