    BONG Ramos will sit down with Blackwater management this weekend amid rumors of impending revamp within the franchise following its failure to advance to the playoffs of the PBA Philippine Cup.

    The meeting will take place more than a week after the Elite ended their campaign in the season-opening conference with a woeful 2-9 (win-loss) record, sparking speculations of another overhaul in the five-year-old organization.

    One clear indication of possible changes in the team came just last week when Joel Co resigned as team manager. Deputy coach Pat Aquino has been delegated to take over his post, with Jacob Munez serving as his assistant.

    Co came on board along with Ramos last May when they replaced Johnson Martinez and Leo Isaac, respectively.

    Rumors that Ramos has resigned were debunked by the coach himself on Monday.

    “Hindi totoo 'yan. Mag-meeting pa lang kami this weekend,” said Ramos.

    Blackwater team owner Dioceldo Sy and board of governor Siliman Sy were with the PBA board during the All-Star weekend in Calasiao, Pangasinan, but left for Manila along with the rest of the officials as early as Saturday morning.

    The two top Blackwater executives have yet to respond to queries about the matter.

    After making the playoffs of last year’s Governors Cup, the Elite went downhill in the All-Filipino conference after losing core players John Paul Erram, Paul Zamar, and John Pinto.

    But the team did get young promising players Paul Desiderio, Diego Dario, and Abu Tratter from the draft and is expected to have No. 2 overall pick Bobby Ray Parks come on board in the mid-season Commissioner’s Cup.
