New team

Galleon Shipping Corporation, a company owned by Rodolfo Cuenca, acquired the franchise of the disbanded Filmanbank. The franchise debuted in the 1980 PBA season as the Galleon Shippers. The core team was built around former Filmanbank players that included skipper Rudolf Kutch, Larry Mumar, Romulo Palijo, Nilo Cruz, Angelito Ladores and Ben Ocariza. It acquired two former U-Tex Wranglers; Anthony Dasalla and Renato Lobo, and a recruit from the amateur ranks, Robinson Obrique. The team was coached by Nic Jorge with assistant Adriano "Bong" Go, a former national youth team trainer. [1]

Imports

Galleon's two reinforcements in the Open Conference were Paul McCracken and 6-10 Larry Jackson. After five games, Jackson was replaced by 7-foot center Jeff Wilkins.

gollark: I don't think it's very good in theory if it's got a giant problem you could easily see coming.
gollark: If you ask other people, even other leftists, I don't think they'll agree very much on what it actually means.
gollark: I'm sure if I ask a bunch of other people they'll disagree on a bunch of details or maybe the whole thing.
gollark: As vaguely defined as "communism" actually is, I don't even agree with it being a particularly admirable goal.
