MANILA, Philippines – As it turned out, Terrence Romeo isn’t the only new guy in the San Miguel Beer crew.
Former Gilas Pilipinas star Jimmy Alapag joined the Beermen as an assistant coach to Leo Austria in the PBA and showed up for the first time in practice on Thursday, January 3.
Alapag, who served as deputy to Tab Baldwin in Gilas Pilipinas, also currently mentors reigning champion San Miguel Alab Pilipinas in the Asean Basketball League (ABL). (READ: The day Jimmy Alapag nearly quit basketball)
