CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – The Pampanga Delta fortified its squad for the National Basketball League (NBL) Season 3 championship series against the La Union PAOwer that will begin on Thursday at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center.
The Delta reinforced their line-up with former PBA player Dexter Maiquez along with Michael Juico and Levi Hernandez in an effort to take their first-ever crown in the league for homegrown talents that recently gained pro status from the Games and Amusements Board.
Maiquez once played for Rain or Shine in the PBA and recently saw action for the Pampanga Giant Lanterns in the MPBL, along with Juico and Hernandez, who was once a practice player for TNT.
Jerick Fabian, Allen Enriquez and Wilson Baltazar, who also played for the Giant Lanterns in the MPBL, are also part of the squad.
Justin Baltazar and Encho Serrano, who were part of the Delta roster during the elimination round, are not part of the Pampanga line-up in the bubble.
Maiquez and company have joined forces with young guns CJ Gania, Mark Tamayo, and Primo Manoloto in an effort to strengthen its chances of winning the crown for the team owned by provincial governor Dennis ‘Delta’ Pineda.
“Pamilyar na sila. Nagtutulungan sila at tinuturuan nila kung paano mag-adjust. And that’s a good sign. That’s what we have to develop. Teamwork and family sa team,” said Pampanga coach Alan Trinidad following Tuesday night’s practice.
The Delta will be up against the La Union PAOwer, who will be led by Mitchelle Maynes and Jonathan Ablao and coached by Louie Aquino.
