00:00 Pampanga Dribbler Arwin Santos is determined to return to the PBA and end his basketball career here.

00:07 At the moment, Santos is playing for the Maharlika Filipinas Basketball League or MPBL,

00:12 which is a possible way for him to return to the PBA.

00:16 Dennis Principe is in the center of the news.

00:19 The chance of Arwin Santos playing again in the PBA is big.

00:26 One of the things Santos is looking forward to is the Converge Fiber Xers.

00:33 This is because Pampanga Governor Dennis Pineda has a close connection with Converge owner Dennis Uy.

00:40 Sometimes, Converge nominated Pineda as their new board representative of the PBA,

00:47 which is also a league member.

00:49 At the moment, Santos is playing for Pampanga Giant Lanterns, where Pineda is the head coach.

00:56 Honestly, my contract here, if we're talking about my uncle's contract,

01:01 I can help him until this team becomes a champion.

01:06 After that, a lot can happen.

01:09 I can think or show that I still want to play in the PBA.

01:14 I'm a free agent, Converge is there. If I can still play, why not?

01:20 I'm not the kind of person who will choose myself,

01:23 I can't compete with the PBA.

01:26 I'm just basing my health.

01:29 I can feel that if I can, I will tell the PBA that I can still help.

01:36 Maybe they can use me for a conference or a year.

01:40 In the PBA, Santos played for Northport Matangpier from 2021 to 2023,

01:47 before he decided to play for Pampanga.

01:50 Santos' career started when he played 12 seasons in San Miguel Pier,

01:56 where he tasted a lot of PBA titles and a Most Valuable Player trophy in 2013.

02:04 If you ask me, I can still go back to San Miguel.

02:08 I'm still going to retire.

02:10 That's what we talked about.

02:13 I hope I can have a chance to go back to San Miguel.

02:17 If I can still be a champion, and I retire, I'll be really happy.

02:22 Pampanga Giant Lanterns will hold a 1-0 series lead against Bacoor Strikers

02:28 in their Best of 5 Championship Showdown.

02:32 Game 2 of the MPBL Fifth Season National Title Series will be held later tonight
