Former La Salle Green Archers coach Franz Pumaren was one of those who helped Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) players get free education for their kids through the PBA Players’ Trust Fund.
Although inactive from the league, Pumaren remains the PBA Players Union president and he wants to play an active role after hearing concerns about his fellow retired players.
Pumaren said that more players now are not receiving the same amount which were given to some of the retired and active players in the previous years.
“Sabi nga nu’ng iba, halos P10,000 na nga lang daw kada semester ang natatanggap nila," Pumaren told GMANews.TV. “Maybe I should look into the matter since I am still the president of the Players’ Union dahil wala pa rin namang nangyayaring election."
PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios didn’t deny the fact that players now receive less than the previous years since more kids became league scholars.

MANILA, Philippines - Purefoods TJ Hotdogs got a huge lift from its two Yaps – James and Roger – as the Giants repulsed the upset-conscious Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, 90-85, for the decisive head start in their KFC PBA Philippine Cup best-of-five semifinal showdown at the Araneta Coliseum last night.
James Yap came through with an explosive 31-point performance highlighted by a clutch triple in the stretch while Roger Yap churned out 17 including eight in the fourth quarter as the Giants beat out the Elasto Painters in a fierce duel in their series opener.
The Giants kept the momentum of their strong finish in the elimination phase, ending the Elasto Painters’ two-game streak while stretching their own run to five games.
“We really expected a tough game especially because of the momentum Rain or Shine got coming off huge wins in the wildcard phase,” said Purefoods coach Ryan Gregorio.
“We knew it’s going to be tough as we expected them to wage a big fight. You really appreciate their kind of fighting hearts. What’s the key for us was that we accorded them the respect they deserve,” Gregorio added.
