The Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup was given the go-signal by the Games and Amusements Board to hold its Mindanao Leg on May 30, weeks after the second phase of the upstart league due to a game-fixing controversy that marred the recent Visayas Leg.

The Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup conditionally lifted the suspension of ARQ Builders-Lapu-Lapu City guard Rendell Senining for his role in the controversial game against the Siquijor Mystics two weeks ago.

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said the league is keeping a vigilant approach in trying to curb game-fixing allegations similar to the one that rocked the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup recently.

Gerald Anderson will play for one of the teams slated to see action in the Mindanao leg of the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup.

The Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup apologized to the province of Siquijor after it was put in a bad light following game-fixing allegations involving the Mystics squad.

The Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup admitted it made a mistake in banning ARQ Builders-Lapu-Lapu City’s Monbert Arong for the rest of the first round instead of Franz Arong as part of sanctions handed in the aftermath of last week’s controversial match against Siquijor.

The Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup is requiring all teams to surrender their phones before every game as part of preventive measures made in the aftermath of game-fixing allegations that marred last week’s match involving the Siquijor Mystics and ARQ Builders-Lapu-Lapu City.

Former amateur basketball ‘godfather’ and Deputy Speaker Mikee Romero said the players, coaches and officials involved in the controversial VisMin Super Cup match between the Lapu-Lapu City and Siquijor should suffer the severest possible penalty under the law once proven guilty of game fixing.

Rendell Senining, the ARQ Builders-Lapu-Lapu City guard who became one of the notable figures in a controversial match that rocked the upstart Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, said his actions were made out of frustration with the Siquijor Mystics’ lack of competitive desire.

The owner of ARQ Builders-Lapu-Lapu City claimed that Siquijor came into their controversial match in the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup with no intention of competing.
