Converge FiberXers


Every morning when I wake up, I turn on my laptop, read the news, watch YouTube videos, write and upload vlogs, and most of the time I never really have an issue. As you can see from the clarity of my uploads and live shows, everything runs smoothly. Do you want to know why?

Malakas ang Converge internet ko, and today it just got even stronger! This is not a paid advertisement for Converge Internet, but I wouldn’t mind getting one. Independent teams and independent sports media should stick together, right?

Transitioning to the Converge FiberXers the PBA team. Last season they almost beat my Barangay Ginebra San Miguel team. Arguably they could have won that series, but they didn’t. This team has been good since they entered the Philippine Basketball Association, but the 2026 PBA Commissioner’s Cup could be their breakthrough conference. I just hope it’s not all hype.

They already boast young talents that include Justine Baltazar, who should have been included in the last Gilas Pilipinas window. JGDL who can doo it all. There’s also Justin Arana and Alec Stockton, among others. I couldn’t mention everyone, but keep in mind you’re all in my thoughts.

Converge big boost.

The higher the tower, the better the signal. And Converge just acquired a 7-foot tower in Kylor Kelley. He was named to the 2024 NBA G League All-Defensive Team and averaged 2.9 blocks per game. I may be mistaken, but I think he was hired to block the signal from other teams. That should worry everyone.

Speaking of worries, The Beast Calvin Abueva also joined the purple nation. While he’s already 38, he proved he still has it, playing like a monster with his former team Titan Ultra. He even scored a career-high 41 points and competed for the Best Player award. That’s scary?

If not, that’s understandable but Converge may have finally found their hidden Mickey… I mean Mikey Williams. A former 2× Finals MVP, Rookie of the Year, 2021 Scoring Champion, and 2× PBA Champion. Converge just added size, grit, and the veteran leadership needed to achieve the coveted championship trophy and maybe even do the Hot Dog Dance.

Hype or legit Converge?

I’m hyped for this team, but the reality is that several other teams have also boosted their chances. We’re just a week away from the conference opening, and they will see action right away on March 11 against the Macau Black Bears.

I’m curious. I’m excited. I want to cover the PBA, but I don’t have credentials. I might just go to the Ninoy Aquino Stadium and watch as a fan… unless someone from Converge gives me tickets.

PM is the key.
