According to Cesafi deputy commissioner Danny Duran, one game suspensions will be slapped on UC guard Van Van Sevillejo and assistant coach Gary Hortelano. The same will be given to USPF’s Kyle Ochavo, Elijah Singson and assistant coach Christian Bacus.
Aside from that, each person mentioned above has to pay a P5,000 fine and serve four hours of community service at a place that will be designated by the Cebu City Sports Commission.
The untoward incident occurred towards the end of the game between the Baby Webmasters and the Baby Panthers, which the former won, 75-60.

The game had already made a tense turn with 2:34 left when Ochavo was ejected from the game.
Then with 20 seconds remaining, Sevillejo and Singson got heated with one another as the former was bringing the ball up.
Sevillejo quickly charged Singson, which eventually brought different players and coaches into the fray. /bmjo
