B-Meg Llamados vs Talk N Text Tropang Texters…

B-Meg Llamados signed Point Guard Josh Urbiztondo after Air 21 Express put Urbiztondo in the Unrestricted Free Agent list. After losing Jonas Villanueva to an injury, the Llamados needed another Point Guard in their rotation specially for next season where Pong Escobal will return to Barako Bull (Now owned by Bert Lina, change of name not yet final).

New import Myron Allen will probably play Point Guard in the current PBA Governors Cup and Josh Urbiztondo will play behind Allen and Roger Yap.

Welcome Josh Urbiztondo.
