It seems like someone from Ginebra is coming to Boracay after all.
Coach Tim Cone shared that he will spend a few days next week in the pearl white sand beaches of Aklan to unwind with his family.
“We’ll go to Boracay for a couple of days,” he said on Friday.
But he was quick to explain that he’s going there to celebrate his team’s triumph in the 2016 PBA Governors’ Cup, and not for what fans have dubbed the “Bora Cup.”
“This time, we’re not going there because we lost,” he said with a smile.
Fans have repeatedly made Ginebra the butt of jokes and subject of memes because of the squads repeated failures in the past.
One of the recurring jokes is that Ginebra is the defending champions of the imaginary “Bora Cup,” the supposed destination for the teams which were eliminated through the course of the tournament.
But on Wednesday, the ridicule met its end with Ginebra proudly hoisting the trophy and snapping its eight-year title drought.
Cone won’t be the only one taking a break and reveling in the championship.
“We had the dinner after the game, and I guess the players went clubbing after that,” Cone shared. “They asked me to go and I said, ‘Yeah, right. That should’ve been three hours ago.'”
Ginebra is also planning a fans’ day at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan on Sunday noon, while the team will celebrate with San Miguel employees inside their compound on Monday.
“When you win, you have to celebrate because when you celebrate, it reminds you how much you enjoy winning. So when you get to that situation again, you remember how much fun it was to win,” said the winningest coach in PBA history.
But Cone is setting a deadline for all the hullabaloo.
“At some point, you got to put it away, put the trophy in the lobby, and go back to work,” he said.
Ginebra returns to the hardcourt on the second week of November in preparation for the 2017 season.
