The incoming PBA 45th Season will have a new set of officers headed by TNT KaTropa's Ricky Vargas who has been reelected to a third consecutive term as Chairman while Columbian Dyip's Bobby Rosales and Blackwater Elite's Silliman Sy were elected as Vice Chairman and Treasurer respectively. Atty. Melvin Mendoza, the Board's long time Secretary and Legal Counsel, retains his post.
The PBA board also agreed, during its regular meeting Thursday, to extend the deadline for Fil-foreign players who intend to apply for the 2019 Annual Draft to Nov. 29.
Previously, the deadline for Fil-foreign applicants was Oct. 23. The new date now coincides with the deadline for local applicants.
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said the move intends to give a chance to Fil-foreign players who didn't meet the previous deadline because they are still working on their papers.
"A number of prospective Fil-foreign applicants have told the Commissioner's Office that they are still working on important documents required for the Draft and requested if the deadline could be extended," Marcial said.
