From hotdogs to cockfighters... llamado sila!

O, mga bagong sabungero!

Why the change from Purefoods TJ to B-MEG Derby Ace?
San Miguel Purefoods' PBA team was changed to bring brand recognition to the B-MEG game fowl feed brand which San Miguel Foods Inc. is aggressively pushing this year. Purefoods-Hormel agreed to help its sister company benefit from the many advantages of the PBA team branding.

Purefoods has changed its PBA name several times --Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs, Coney Island Ice Cream Stars, Purefoods Oodles, Purefoods Chunkee Giants, and Purefoods TJ Giants. I asked Mr. Rene Pardo, Purefoods Board Representative, and he said that they have won the title for every name change. Wow. So does that mean that a title under the Llamados name is on the horizon?

"There's pressure every time," answered Ryan Gregorio, Derby Ace Llamados coach. "Whether we won the championship or lost it, there's pressure. And we'll answer the challenge with the same fire, focus, determination, and commitment."
