SMC SHAKEUP CONTINUES, CHUA ON LEAVE
A new atmosphere enveloped the camp of San Miguel Corporation after management decided to transfer consultant for basketball operations Noli Eala to a different assignment.
In a statement released by SMC, Eala will “help out in the company’s infrastructure businesses as various projects are now either in full swing or at the development stages.”
“The Company believes that Eala’s managerial expertise and experience with various companies he handled in recent years will be very valuable in his new assignment in infrastructure, one of the high-growth areas for the company.” said the release.
At the same time, SMC management granted the request of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel head coach Alfrancis Chua for a leave of absence due to personal reasons.
It is not known, however, when Chua will return to the post.
Netizens pointed to Eala as the reason for several movements among the three San Miguel Corporation teams, something which the former PBA commissioner denied.
“SMC assures the public, particularly its basketball fans that the operations of its basketball teams will continue to run smoothly despite Eala’s new role in the organization,’ said the release. (SBadua)
