GlobalPort Batang Pier seasons

The 2012–13 GlobalPort Batang Pier season was the franchise's first season in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The team took over the Powerade Tigers after its sale to Sultan 900 Capital. Although it did not qualify for the Philippine or Commissioner's Cups, it was a quarterfinalist for the Governors' Cup.

Key dates

  • July 30: Coca Cola Bottlers Philippines, owner of the Powerade Tigers, sent a letter to the PBA Commissioner's office informing it that the franchise would be sold to Sultan 900 Capital (owned by businessman Mikee Romero) for PHP100 million, with an additional PHP10 million franchise-application fee to the PBA. Under league rules, the sale required approval by two-thirds of the PBA board of governors.[1][2][3] The board unanimously approved the purchase at a special board meeting August 17, and the team's name changed to GlobalPort Batang Pier.[4][5]
  • August 17: After the sale's approval, coach Bo Perasol asked to be released from his contract[6] and Glenn Capacio was appointed interim coach.[7]
  • August 19: The 2012 PBA Draft took place at Robinson's Midtown Mall in Manila.
  • January 3: Junel Baculi was appointed head coach, with Glenn Capacio assistant coach.[8]
