Just like our mission to give the best broadband to Filipinos, we want to give top-notch basketball entertainment by having the best franchise in the PBA today, Uy said.

The players are yet to be finalized but Converge has three former Alaska players namely Jeron Teng, Ben Adamos, and Taylor Browne. The Fiber Xers also look forward to building the team with team governor Chito Salud saying that they are excited with the coming draft.

Marching orders from boss Dennis is to make this team competitive. We did not join to be an embarrassment and we’ll do our best not to be that, Salud said.
