FOR the first time in franchise history, the NLEX Road Warriors will hold their season send-off together with their fans as they gear up for the 50th season of the PBA.
The “Arangkada Send-Off” is set on Friday, Sept. 26, at the Events Center of SM City Clark—a significant shift from the team’s previous tradition of hosting the ceremony within the NLEX compound in Balintawak.
NLEX Road Warriors governor Ronald Dulatre explained the shift, emphasizing the team’s goal to strengthen connections with their supporters and bring the excitement of the new season closer to the fans.
“We want to bring NLEX closer to our fans. During the off-season, we held programs from youth camps to coaching clinics, and this send-off is the culmination of it all,” said Dulatre.
The mall event will feature the introduction of the entire Road Warriors lineup for the upcoming PBA Philippine Cup, which officially opens on October 5.
Also set to be unveiled is the team’s muse for the grand opening ceremony.
NLEX President and General Manager Luis S. Reñon will also grace the occasion, underscoring the organization’s commitment to making this milestone season more memorable.
“Malaking bagay ito sa amin na makita namin ang aming pinaglalaban at para mas mapalapit pa sa ating mga kababayan sa Norte,” said lead guard Robert Bolick, who is expected to be a vital piece in NLEX’s campaign.
