INTERVIEW| Frank Bonifacio, thankful for getting a Ginebra Roster Spot.
We've been seeing Frank Bonifacio every Ginebra Practice wearing the ginebra uniform and the first question we had in mind was, "Is he a new player of Ginebra?" and that question was answered last year when someone from the ginebra coaching staff confirmed that he's going to be a practice player/reserve. Bonifacio is undrafted and has been practicing with other teams prior to the Ginebra spot.
A few days before the start of the third conference, a news spread out that he signed for a roster spot in the active line up of ginebra. And we had to confirm some details with him personally via his facebook account and he said that he's very happy now that he already earned a spot in the pba as a professional player of the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.
"I found out Friday before the practice but I don't know who I replaced, they didn't tell me. I'm just happy I'm finally on the lineup after 5 conferences being a reserve/ practice player." Bonifacio said. Ginebra has 15 active players in their line up which means he will be the 16th so we are yet to confirm if anyone will be moving out of the active roster.
He also wants to thank the ginebra fans, the management and Coach tim for the opportunity and support. "I'll do my best to make an impact on the court whenever I get a chance. Thanks to Coach Tim and the Ginebra Management for giving me this opportunity. #nsd."
Ginebra did not hire any Asian import and Greg Slaughter will be out in a couple of games since he is still in a recovery period after his surgery so that's maybe the reason why they needed someone to be ready to help in case they need front-line support.
