Jose Luis Ledesma Season highlights Due to the aftermath of the 1986 People Power Revolution, the uncertainty of opening a new PBA season became imminent after two teams that have connections with the Marcoses (Tanduay and Manila Beer) were unsure if they will still continue in taking part of the league. Likewise, it was then not known who will be in charge of the PBA's main venue, the ULTRA and Vintage Sports TV network partner Maharlika Broadcasting System. The league eventually opened its season at The ULTRA on April 6 and was aired on MBS. MBS will be later renamed as the People's Television Network the same year. PBA legal counsel Atty. Rudy Salud was appointed as deputy commissioner after Tommy Manotoc resigned. The Alaska Milkmen became the newest team that joined the league while the Magnolia ballclub, one of the founding members of the PBA, took a temporary leave of absence. Magnolia makes its comeback in the Third Conference with a new lineup composed of 10 rookies, eight of which were former national players from the disbanded Northern Consolidated (NCC) team. The board of governors approved an amendment to the PBA constitution that replaces the position of the PBA President into the Chairman of the Board of Governors. Teams paraded two reinforcements each in the import-laden conferences, which led to a record-breaking success by the league on the last term of PBA chairman Carlos "Honeyboy" Palanca. The birth of the most bitter PBA rivalry since the Toyota-Crispa days - that between the Tanduay Rhum Makers and crowd-favorite Ginebra San Miguel - with both teams winning their first championship during the season.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=tGwVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gwsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4998%2C3049265 Looking back: The PBA's history Manila Standard Opening ceremonies The muses for the participating teams are as follows: Team Muse Alaska Milkmen Joey Albert Ginebra San Miguel Gretchen Barretto Great Taste Coffee Makers Manila Beer Brewmasters Peachy Sacisas Shell Oilers Sabrina Artadi Tanduay Rhum Makers Champions Reinforced Conference: Tanduay Rhum Makers All-Filipino Conference: Tanduay Rhum Makers Open Conference: Ginebra San Miguel Team with best win–loss percentage: Ginebra San Miguel (42-23, .647) Best Team of the Year: Tanduay Rhum Makers (1st & Final) Reinforced Conference 1986 PBA Reinforced Conference Elimination round elimsstandings Semifinal round semisstandings Third place playoffs 7 (3) Ginebra San Miguel 4–2 (4) Alaska Milkmen 138–135 147–134 127–130 121–124 148–123 139–137 — |} Finals 1986 PBA Reinforced Conference finals 7 (1) Great Taste Coffee Makers 2–4 (2) Tanduay Rhum Makers 114–117 126–121 110–117 111–112 111–106 109–132 — |} Best Import of the Conference: Rob Williams (Tanduay) All-Filipino Conference 1986 PBA All-Filipino Conference Elimination round elimsstandings Quarterfinal round qfstandings Semifinal round semisstandings Third place playoffs 5 (3) Great Taste Coffee Makers 1–3 (4) Pilipinas Shell Oilers 125–128 110–101 105–110 90–96 — |} Finals 1986 PBA All-Filipino Conference finals 5 (1) Tanduay Rhum Makers 3–1 (2) Ginebra San Miguel 86–90 118–115 79–74 93–92 — |} Open Conference 1986 PBA Open Conference Elimination round elimsstandings Quarterfinal round qfstandings Semifinal round semisstandings Third place playoffs 7 (3) Tanduay Rhum Makers 0–4 (4) Great Taste Coffee Makers 130–146 128–141 128–138 143–170 — — — |} Finals 1986 PBA Open Conference finals 7 (1) Ginebra San Miguel 4–1 (2) Manila Beer Brewmasters 135–133 111–121 139–130 145–135 2 130–120 — — |} Best Import of the Conference: Michael Young (Manila Beer) Awards Most Valuable Player: Ramon Fernandez (Tanduay) Rookie of the Year: Dondon Ampalayo (Ginebra) Most Improved Player: Ricky Relosa (Alaska) Best Import-Reinforced Conference: Rob Williams (Tanduay) Best Import-Open Conference: Michael Young (Manila Beer) Mythical Five: Ricardo Brown (Great Taste) Robert Jaworski (Ginebra) Ramon Fernandez (Tanduay) Manny Victorino (Great Taste) Freddie Hubalde (Tanduay) Mythical Second Team: Chito Loyzaga (Ginebra) Padim Israel (Tanduay) Terry Saldaña (Ginebra) JB Yango (Tanduay) Dondon Ampalayo (Ginebra) All-Defensive Team: Chito Loyzaga (Ginebra) Philip Cezar (Shell) Elpidio Villamin (Manila Beer) Ricky Relosa (Alaska) Padim Israel (Tanduay) Cumulative standings main WL percentage no no 1 none complete ALA 20 29 Alaska Milkmen GIN 42 23 Ginebra San Miguel GTC 36 28 Great Taste Coffee Makers MAG 2 10 Magnolia Cheese Makers MB 19 22 Manila Beer Brewmasters SHL 20 32 Shell Oilers/Shell Helix Oilers/Formula Shell Spark Aiders TAN 37 27 Tanduay Rhum Makers PHI 1 6 Philippine national team G C C 3rd F SF 3rd X X Best finish after gold Champions silver Finalist #CD7F32 Third place green1 Semifinalist red1 Elimination round Elimination round main WL percentage no no 1 none complete ALA 11 17 Alaska Milkmen GIN 16 12 Ginebra San Miguel GTC 19 9 Great Taste Coffee Makers MAG 2 10 Magnolia Cheese Makers MB 14 14 Manila Beer Brewmasters SHL 13 15 Shell Oilers/Shell Helix Oilers/Formula Shell Spark Aiders TAN 17 11 Tanduay Rhum Makers PHI 1 5 Philippine national team G Playoffs main WL wins no no 1 none complete ALA 9 12 Alaska Milkmen GIN 26 11 Ginebra San Miguel GTC 17 19 Great Taste Coffee Makers MAG 0 0 Magnolia Cheese Makers MB 5 8 Manila Beer Brewmasters SHL 7 17 Shell Oilers/Shell Helix Oilers/Formula Shell Spark Aiders TAN 20 16 Tanduay Rhum Makers PHI 0 1 Philippine national team G References
