Tiongson, Cahilig to San Miguel; Terrafirma adds Romeo, Manuel


Juami Tiongson and Andreas Cahilig are set to take the next step in their careers.

Terrafirma has traded the long-time Dyip duo to San Miguel in exchange for Terrence Romeo and Vic Manuel, a move officially announced by the league on Monday afternoon.

Now, the pair will bring youthful energy and fresh legs to the Beermen’s roster as San Miguel looks to strengthen its lineup.

In return, Terrafirma gains two seasoned veterans in Romeo and Manuel.

Romeo was traded to San Miguel from TNT on December 17, 2018, with the Beermen sending Brian Heruela, big man David Semerad, and their 2020 first-round draft pick to TNT.

The trade also reunites Romeo with his former GlobalPort backcourt partner, Stanley Pringle, who was acquired by Terrafirma from Ginebra along with Christian Standhardinger in exchange for Stephen Holt and Isaac Go last July.

Meanwhile, Manuel’s arrival pairs him with Christian Standhardinger, creating a formidable duo in the frontcourt.
