1. Despite coming up short in our desire to win another title, I believe that we truly had a memorable and magical season. The 41 wins that we have so far broke the all-time franchise record for most number of wins in a season, which was 39, established in 1993.
   
   This current Purefoods/ B-Meg roster has distinguished itself as 1 of the best teams ever assembled by the organization and I am so proud to be a part of it.


2. Winning the All-Filipino conference, and the manner we won it, would forever stay in the minds of many basketball enthusiasts. We were not seeded highly, and we struggled in the early part of the elimination round but we hung in there. We survived a tough series against Rain or Shine, winning it in 5 games, then upset the awesome Beermen in 6 games by winning 3 straight after being down 1 – 2, then an incredible 4-0 sweep of the mighty Aces, which surprised a lot of experts. And the victory pushed our team to a tie with the legendary Crispa Redmanizers for most All-Filipino championships with 5.


3. The Fiesta Conference started [with us] on the wrong foot. We missed the services of Kerby due to an injury which turned out to be a season-ending ailment. But with sheer determination and willpower, we were able to beat the odds and end the elims with 13 wins and 5 losses, tied with SMB at number 2. As the season developed, we experienced all sorts of problems ranging from physical, mental and emotional stresses that would make an ordinary person/team give-up and fall apart, but not the B-Meg players, not the B-Meg team. We continued to compete and vowed that “the basketball court is our sanctuary; the moment we step inside we will just focus on the task at hand and shut off our minds from all the distractions.” Down 1-2 against an athletic RoS team and facing outright elimination, we rolled the dice on Tony Washam and won 2 straight. Our gamble paid huge dividends, an entry to the Final 4.


4. At that point however, I felt that we were really running on near empty gas tank. Puso na lang ang lumalaban. Mental fatigue, off-court distractions and playing so many back to back games took a toll on us. Kerby, still out; Ping, injected with a gel on his thigh just to play; Roger, groin; Rafi, foot ; and James, black eye, swollen knee, stiff back, ankle sprain, and a lot more… Still, we kept on fighting until the fight was over.


5. In the end, we just couldn't keep in step with the Beermen particularly Freeman. He was the difference-maker in the series. We kept on pushing ourselves until the end but, it just wasn't enough. The stronger, fresher and the better team won against us but not without a fight.
   
   We may have lost the series 2 - 4, but deep inside us , we feel like winners simply because we know that we all did our BEST. Truly a remarkable journey for all of us, a journey that I would remember for many many years.
