PBA Commissioner

Mariano Yenko became the second PBA commissioner and under his term the PBA entered its second phase, the post-EDSA era after the disbandment of Crispa-Toyota. Yenko managed to turn around the league's fortunes by popularizing the Ginebra San Miguel team during his tenure. Revenue stayed strong and the PBA welcomed new legends such as Allan Caidic to carry the new generation.
