It appeared Meralco is really back on its feet after claiming a second straight win at the expense of Ginebra, 89-75, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao Friday, Oct. 17.

Coming off a breakthrough against Blackwater, the Bolts scored a come-from-behind win against the Gin Kings.

They thus improved their slate to 2-2. 

The Gin Kings, meanwhile, absorbed a second loss in three games in the All-Filipino conference.

But the Bolts will only have a day to rest as they take on still unbeaten Magnolia (2-0) at the Ynares Center in Montalban Sunday, Oct. 19.

They clash in the 7:30 p.m. mainer.

He continues to be involved in the sport he loves, but this time as a member of the PBA Press Corps. Aside from primarily covering the PBA, he is also assigned to cover Gilas Pilipinas.
