Is this the guy that has sold their game to a bettor and they did the transaction through gcash? That's what I remember with the most recent rigging of their match.

Yeah, that's him. It looks like he is guilty as we can see on the actions of the PBA imposed to him.
here's another link about the story of his alleged involvement in game-fixing.

De Guzman accuser to appear in game-fixing probe, says GAB\

THE Games and Amusements Board (GAB) is giving San Miguel 3x3 player Daniel de Guzman a chance to air his side even after snubbing a summon for a probe into his alleged involvement in game-fixing and gambling.

GAB chairman Baham Mitra assured due process will be given to de Guzman, who was asked to explain his side to the professional sports regulatory body after screenshots of his alleged conversation with a bettor became viral on social media.

Mitra also bared that the person who made the allegations against de Guzman in a post on Facebook will also be appearing before GAB officials for his side on the issue.

Thanks for the links. He firstly denied his involvement with the deal and that's usually going to be the first thing he's going to do because it just pops and that poor bettor has shared it on social media. He has forgotten how quickly to spread information through it and can easily make it viral.
When De Guzman and the accuser goes on face to face, there will be an intense face off between and the two and many information that haven't heard yet will come out for sure.

He destroyed his career with just a small amount he would make, if he avoided giving tips, he could have played with the SM Beerman and maybe given a break if he do well which would made him a millionaire, too bad for him, he was attracted with instant money without realizing that he risk his career for that.

That's him being careless and not contented with what he has attained. A lot of good players are wanting to get in on his position but he's the one that got lucky and chosen to get into the league.
But with his luck, he has put himself into the wrong situation by rigging a game with the little amount that he can even earn and at least get with some sponsors. A very bad decision that he has made and I don't know where he's going to be led by the decision thrown to him.

I know that most of us here are talking about the Game Fixing and I just want to share this news.
One Sports, a page on Facebook posted that there is already a schedule into when the Governor's Cup will start. It will start on December 8 2021.

In addition to it, Comm. Willie is trying to communicate with the LGUs on hoping that they will allow spectators or audiences to watch the games in person. Well, this is a good news for PBA fans including me .

With the alert system of most of the places in our country in Level 2, I think that they will allow 50% of the total capacity of the stadium but with the new variant of the virus that has been discovered which is the Omicron variant this might change and the worst scenario is that PBA will return to bubble again once this variant will come to our country. We know for a fact that this variant will come. Its just a matter of when. I just hope that even though this variant will be in our country, the Governor's Cup will still continue.

The case is still pending investigation, but he is already banned for the moment, so if the investigation may take too long, that is how long he will be out even if he does not really make a violation.


@LogitechMouse

Thanks for that wonderful update, seeing the PBA slowly getting back to normal is a huge improvement and that will bring more fun. Maybe we will see it more entertaining to watch especially the team which has the biggest number of fans, and that is non other than the Ginebra San Miguel.

We’re on a good alert level but since there’s a new covid variant this may prevent the government from allowing live audience, let’s just hope that this new variant is not that strong compare to delta variant so we can have a good holidays and a good basketball conference. So next week is the start of the Governord cup, I think there’s no time left to apply for approval of live audience, its better for now to have a good live telecast so people can still watch the game on a good quality.

There's no problem with live telecast as they are delivering that to us, we can see the live games on TV5, PBA Rush, and on their facebook live streaming. I just missed the youtube live streaming, I hope they'll make that up again as it's easier to watch it compared to facebook like, and with good quality as well.

Finally, the good news has come, the PBA will start a new conference this December 8.

The second conference will feature imports with a height limit of 6-foot-6.

Good for Ginebra as Brownlee is  6-foot-6 in height so he might dominate here like he always does.

Also, the venue is in Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City but no audience is still allowed at the moment, but hopefully, they will eventually allow the audience since the situation now is not anymore as worse as before.

Nice update, Brownlee. As we know him, he can lift the spirit of the Gin kings.

Though we can't tell if he can really dominate, but in terms of familiarity with his teammates and the system from coach Tim,
the advantages are with in him.

Ginebra needs him to guide the team again and bring the brotherhood. We didn't see that last bubble after acquiring CStan,
if Japeth, CStan and Brownlee will jive together, adding LA and Pringle will complete their solid 5.

Now they are coming back to Manila, and the players are now capable of going home after playing. It's more comfortable now.

I guess only C Stand and Pringle are the new faces of the team that Brownlee has not played with before. However, IIRC,  Brownlee, and C Stand are teammates in Alab Pilipinas before, or rival? So these two meet and know each other hopefully, so let's hope that bond will be stronger as they play for the first time on the same team in the PBA.

I'm curious about how deep GAB will investigate this issue. According to that viral Facebook post, there's a certain name that was involved who are the facilitators of this game fixing activities inside SMB teams. If these rumors will be investigated further, maybe PBA will come up proving the legitimacy of those "hulog games"

So far the news about this issue still hot. If there are demands from the said bettors, he can be a good witness to this allegation not just for De Guzman, but for me personally. The guy knows more.

He won't risk a huge amount of money for nothing, not the first time if I remember that convo the guy knows how to deal with this kind
of mafia inside PBA.

A great day to watch Basketball and enjoy the holiday, finally I thought this will happen early next year but it came early and that’s a great news. I guess the height limit are here already since then so no big issue here as the team owners already know this. Even if there’s a live audience I still wont risk my health I’d rather watch online, the new variant look more scary as many countries are panicking.

I think that we know where it is going. That the chance of him being kicked out and the removal of his license or right to play in the league will be for sure.
Such a waste for his career that has never been at its peak. Unlike those pros that are taking care of themselves, although, there's a possibility that they've been involved in the same anomaly. They've never allowed it for long to get involved on it and they've decided to play clean and be content with the offer and salary that they're receiving. PBA should be strict on this and they impose hard penalties like removal and being banned for life.

Since the import list was released, we don't have any news now regarding the Governors Cup opening. Manila will remain in Level 2 status and on that tier, sports activities are allowed. I hope Manila will just keep its Level 2 status so we can now expect the opening of the Governor's Cup without any problem. It's been a while since Ynares, Araneta, MOA Arena, etc. host a PBA game. It should be done now!

There's an update, mate.

Ynares Center will host the PBA Governors Cup.

Semi-bubble setup again so nothing new and just the same as the last conference. They should at least allow 50% capacity for vaccinated people. Still no intense and action and they just like playing in a practice session with referees involved.

Dec 8 is the opening of PBA Governors Cup right?

Still semi-bubble, it's that mean  that the player will stay in the nearest hotels or rented house along the gym? or it's just the limitation of the fans?

can't wait to see how team will perform especially those trades that take place during the break.

New challenges with those import backing the local stars, who from SMB and Pangilinan group will stand out and dominate?

or Any chance with those single franchise to win a title?

Its been years since SMB and MVP are dominating the league with or without imports so.... I'm pretty sure that it will be the same this Governor's Cup.
A quick google search and you will see that from 2013-2019, the champion of Governor's Cup are coming from SMC so I will not be surprised if it will be the same scenario this season or it will be coming from MVP.

Though I want to see a new champion right now especially those independent "farming :X" teams, the chances of them winning is very low. Right now I'm just excited to watch PBA again after weeks of off season. I will still go for SMB as my pick to win . Whose your pick in winning this year's Governor's Cup?

Yes, it will start on Dec. 8. It's still not yet sure about the setup for all of the participating teams and players. I haven't read that the setup is going to be semi-bubble but most likely it won't be since the precaution and alert level in NCR isn't that high anymore.
What the management is pushing is the possibility that the fans would be able to watch the games live. I think that Marcial and his fellows are focusing and pushing for that.

[Hypnosis00]

Imports will be arriving this week, but I'm most excited to see Brownlee arriving in the PH.

As per a report, he will arrive today, so let's wait for an update.

https://www.pba.ph/news/brownlee-set-to-arrive-forte-hester-for-measurement

AFTER some delay, Barangay Ginebra's wait for the arrival of Justin Brownlee would be over anytime Wednesday.

[bisdak40]

I guess only C Stand and Pringle are the new faces of the team that Brownlee has not played with before. However, IIRC,  Brownlee, and C Stand are teammates in Alab Pilipinas before, or rival? So these two meet and know each other hopefully, so let's hope that bond will be stronger as they play for the first time on the same team in the PBA.

They are rivals, Brownlee played for the Philippines while C-Stan played for Hongkong if I'm not mistaken. The bright side for Ginebra when Brownlee is around is that C-Stan may not need to score heavily as Brownlee will do that for them and he is also a willing passer so this will make C-Stan play inspired basketball.

So, we can bet for the PBA again next week, hope everything will be fine during the opening, and also hope that IATF will allow vaccinated spectators to watch the games live even half the stadium capacity.
