Burger King trades Arwind Santos to San Miguel for a plate of roasted highland legumes

What the fuck? Arwind Santos is sold to the Beermen

I was enjoying a lazy Saturday after watching the UAAP opening when news broke that Burger King sold away their best player, Arwind Santos, to the San Miguel Beermen. No official word yet on which players BK will receive in exchange, but unofficially they'll be getting benchwarmers Samigue Eman, Ken Bono, and Chris Calaguio. Gee, do you want fries with that?

And here I was just railing about how the team had been selling all their marquee players, and they go ahead and trade one of the top five players in the PBA for the hoops equivalent of isang platitong mani. Fuck Burger King. Fuck Bert Lina, and fuck Lito Alvarez. They should go fuck themselves and then fuck each other, they don't deserve to be in the PBA.

(Even the fact that Ken Bono will be joining fellow fatties JR Quinahan and Beau Belga on a team called the Whoppers. I'm that pissed off.)

Anyway, I guess there's no stopping this bullshit, but hey, I can do a protest in my own little way (and I encourage you to join me). Here's what I'm going to do:

I will never use Air 21 for sending stuff. I'll always go with LBC or Aboitiz for my shipping needs.

Not only will I never eat at Burger King, I will dissuade all of my friends from doing so, and offer alternatives every time.

I will give Lito Alvarez and Bert Line really, really, really offensive nicknames, and I will find every opportunity to write about them and use their nicknames. I'll do this so that on the off-chance that they read my stuff (maybe if it's emailed to them, or if it's cut-and-pasted elsewhere), they or people close to them will be horrified and offended. I'm thinking of Lito "Fuckface" Alvarez and Bert "Pokpok" Lina, but I'm open to suggestions from you guys.

Fire Quinito 2009 PBA mock draft, version 1.0
The PBA draft happens this Sunday, and while there's a lot of buzz regarding Burger King possibly selling the rights to draft Japeth Aguilar (as they did with Arwind Santos, Cyrus Baguio, and all their stars), ayoko munang patulan yun. Here's my first moc

Dominoes fall with some big news. Burger King finally completes the Arwind Santos trade, and they receive Marc Pingris back in return, who's apparently headed to Purefoods. I love Pingris as a player, but I hate the fishiness of all of these deals. Patric

Editor's Note: This guest post comes for Tiger Gimenez, a self-confessed San Miguel fanatic. I figured we needed a voice from the San Miguel side of things to balance things here at the blog. I had no idea he would go Tony Atayde on San Miguel management.

The PBA board is unanimous in hiring Chito Salud as deputy commissioner, except when it’s not
There’s something curious about Chito Salud’s appointment as deputy commissioner of the PBA by the league’s Board of Governors last week. This year’s chairman, Lito Alvarez – aka the mama san of Air 21’s virtual brothel of up-and-coming PBA players who wi

you're absolutely right. that management is so fucked up. maybe they're raising an amount that japeth aguilar would find hard to resist (they do get him if japeth decides to be drafted in the pba right?) but still, that's a shitty reason to be giving up a player like arwind santos who finished second in the mvp race for two consecutive years and definitely more of an all-around player than japeth. nothing new from the two biggest burger queen bitches, HITO ALVAREZ and BERT LINTA.

I won't be surprised if BK will trade Wynne Arboleda and Gary David next. What in the hell is going on in the mind of Lito Alvarez?

#4.1 jaemark on 2009-07-14 01:39 (Reply)

i dunno if they'll trade wynne, he is married to bert "pokpok" lina's daughter after all. but yeah, gary david might be on the block next.

Bakit?!?@?#? wala ka naman alam sa pagpapalakas ng isang kompanya o ng isang team, grabe ka magsalita, as if super PERFECT and PROFESSIONAL kang TAO..

dito palang sa statements na ito di ka na matatawag na TAO o PROFESSIONAL dahil paninira na ito sa kapwa o sa isang may karapatang pang lipunan, sana alam mo yun!? i don't think so though:

* I will never use Air 21 for sending stuff. I'll always go with LBC or Aboitiz for my shipping needs.

* Not only will I never eat at Burger King, I will dissuade all of my friends from doing so, and offer alternatives every time.

* I will give Lito Alvarez and Bert Line really, really, really offensive nicknames, and I will find every opportunity to write about them and use their nicknames. I'll do this so that on the off-chance that they read my stuff (maybe if it's emailed to them, or if it's cut-and-pasted elsewhere), they or people close to them will be horrified and offended. I'm thinking of Lito "Fuckface" Alvarez and Bert "Pokpok" Lina, but I'm open to suggestions from you guys.

Kung sabagay title plng ng site o blogsite mo hnd na pang TAO, it does reflect your attitude, LOL kakaawa ka naman..hnd ako kampi sa mga kompanya na yan, in fact mas madalas akong magpadala via LBC pero hnd ako naninira kagaya ng gingawa mo..kakaawa ka talga. kilalanin mo muna mga tao na pinagsasabihan mo ng mga BAD WORDS na yan, alamin mo muna kung gaano karaming mga Filipino ang natutulungan nila o isa ka sa mga natanggal na trabahador nila dahil sa iyong ATTITUDE hayyzz kawawa ka naman talaga..

Nevertheless.....sa mga nabasa ko dito sa blog mo "Ikaw ang utak MANI" sana ibahin mo ang paghahayag ng iyong saloobin o blog, iyong hnd makapaninira sa khit kanino, pwedeng suggestion o komento, iyon eh kung TAO ka nga..

you've reached the third level of fame - getting hate mail.

now all you need is generally dismissive mail, and you have it made.

should we call the whopper trio as the BBQ Whoppers? Bono Belga Quinahan Whoppers fits the team or maybe we should change the team from BK Whoppers to BBQ Whoppers instead?
