Coming from a province with a rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, the Abra Weavers are set to bring their unique flair to the MPBL. Team owner La Paz, Abra Mayor Joseph Bernos, and head coach Jonathan Banal will lead the Weavers.
“We are thrilled to be a part of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League,” said Bernos. “Our team is ready to showcase the talent and passion for basketball that Abra is known for. We look forward to competing against the best teams in the league and making our fans proud.”
Guard Mac Tallo signed up for the Weavers after his release from Converge FiberXers. The Weavers boast veteran big men Jeepy Faundo and Prince Caperal.
MPBL Commissioner Kenneth Duremdes believes the addition of the Abra Weavers will further excite and challenge the country’s top regional league.
For his part, Banal said the Weavers will be ready for the challenge.
” I think we need to play defense because offense will come. We have a lot of good scorers. Of course, we cannot win the game if without rebounding and playing with defense. We need to focus on that. We need to prepare against Balti ( Pampanga Giant Lanterns). Of course, he’s the MVP of the League so that it will be a big challenge for them. And, of course, secret na rin kung paano namin babantayan si Balti. Abangan na lang nila kung ano yung mangyayari but for sure we’ll compete for the best, the very best,” said Banal.
The Abra Weavers will join the MPBL’s 6th Season, tipping off on April 6 at the Calasiao Sports Complex in Pangasinan.
