San Miguel Corporation is retaining the name B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados for the next conference of the Philippine Basketball Association which starts on October 3, 2010 as the sale for Purefoods may not push through. This means Petron is out and SMC may decide not to sell the whole Purefoods franchise. At least we are sure that for one more conference, they will still be called B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados.

In other news, a new head coach for Purefoods/Derby Ace has been named!
