MANILA, Philippines - There's a spark on Twitter.

Reigning Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Most Valuable Player Mark 'The Spark' Caguioa officially joined social networking site Twitter.

PTV Sports anchor Snow Badua says the account was created by his girlfriend Lauren Hudson.

Ginebra's main man was prompted to create an official account in the social media space after an unofficial Facebook Page of Teledyaryo Sports posted updates making him look like he's blaming Ginebra head coach Siot Tanquincen for their 5 game-losing skid.

Fans of the 2001 PBA rookie of the year welcomed him on Twitter and eagerly anticipated his first tweet.

The losing streak of Ginebra has come as a surprise as their team was tagged as one of the favorites following strong performances in the preseason.

Ginebra's struggles also produced some trade rumors -- the most recent of which was reported by InterAKTV but was quickly 'doused' by San Miguel Corp. Sports director Noli Eala in a report on Spin.ph.

As of posting, Caguioa has not tweeted anything nor has he followed anyone but his account has gained over 3,000 followers in just 6 hours from the time it was created.
