If anything, we learned that big bosses, just like the common tao, can get their feathers ruffled, too.
Manny V. Pangilinan, the president of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, turned to Twitter to vent his frustration ahead of the Philippine-China championship game on Saturday.
MVP let his Twitter followers in on the problems that team Philippines faced even before they hit the court. Lack of tickets, billeting issues, and the delayed pick-up clearly frustrated the boss.
Sigh. We feel you sir.
Now it has begun. Our Gilas electric bus delayed. Failed to charge daw. Gilas arrival at stadium delayed. Less time for warm up.

Chinese team staying w/ us at Kempinski Hotel. All other teams inc. Gilas in another, official hotel. That’s not following the Fiba rules.
