MANILA, Philippines – The PBA Office of the Commissioner has upgraded B-Meg’s Marc Pingris Flagrant Foul Penalty 1 on Ryan Arana to a Flagrant 2 Tuesday.

Pingris was also given a P20,000 fine.

Fortunately for the Llamados, Pingris won’t be suspended for shoving Ryan Arana’s face during the fourth quarter of Game 4.

Arana, whose lips bled after taking the hit, was also slapped with a P1,000 fine for second motion.

“I’m very surprised (that Pingris was just given a Flagrant Foul 1). They should just apply the rules,” Guiao said last Sunday after his team’s 94-89 Game 4 win.

Game 5 is set Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum with ROS looking to clinch the franchise’s first ever PBA title at 6:45pm.

    PBA rules on sportsmanship is really amazing, be the first to give the blows and it is alright, if you retaliate, then it is something different. Kalimitan ang ganitong pangyayari ay dahil sa kakulangan ng matinong prinsipyo ng ating mga referee na gagawa ng tawag laban sa isang kuponan depende kung sino ang coach. Tulad ng ginawa dati ni Chot Reyes na pumasok na sa korte at hinamon ang mga referee na i-technical siya ngunit naging bingi at bulag sila dahil sa takot sila kay Chot (o kay MVP). Kung naging consistent lang sana sila sa kanilang tawag (bagay na hindi binibigyan pansin ng PBA) maging ano mang kuponan o sino man ang coach, hindi sana mangyayari ang ganoong sitwasyon.
