“Wish the best for Kerby. One of the highlights of my career will be coaching him for that one conference. I wish he could have stayed!!”

“Kerby was the consummate professional. It only took one conference for me to realize his greatness as a player and a person.”

“Kerby leaving is almost like when Alvin retired. End of an era for Purefoods/B-Meg. A new era now begins for B-Meg planet!”

We would like to welcome the new assistant coaches of Head Coach Jorge Gallent for the B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados, Richard del Rosario (former Assistant from ROS) and Art Dela Cruz (former Assistant from Ginebra). Thank you to former assistant coaches Ronnie Magsanoc (who transferred to Meralco with former Head Coach Ryan Gregorio) and Rey [...]

Jorge Gallent will be taking over the head coaching job for B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados. There were a lot of candidates from Purefoods/San Miguel/Ginebra Teams but SMC decided Gallent is a right fit for the Llamados. Gallent joined Purefoods mid 2008-2009 season as an assistant coach to new Meralco Coach Ryan Gregorio.

As a player in the PBL, Gallent won seven (7) championships with Stag Pale Pilsen/Tanduay Rhum in the PBL under head coach Alfrancis Chua. And as a coach, he won six (6) titles with the Harbour Centre squad. And he hopes to bring this championship experience as player and coach to the Purefoods franchise and also defend the All-Filipino Cup in the 36th Season.

Only Koy Banal and Dayong Mendoza are still under contract as assistant coaches for Derby Ace. Congratulations Coach Jorge Gallent and Good luck!
