The San Miguel Beer team made a significant move before next month's PBA Governors' Cup, acquiring Jerrick Ahanmisi from Terrafirma in a multi-player deal approved by the league. Ahanmisi is heading to the Beermen along with Paolo Hernandez in exchange for Juami Tiongson, rookie Chris Miller, and a second-round pick in the Season 52 Draft.
Paolo Hernandez is a 30-year-old Filipino professional basketball player who has played for several teams in the PBA. He stands 188 cm tall and has been a reliable scorer for the Beermen in the past. Hernandez' addition to the team is expected to give San Miguel a significant boost in the coming Governors' Cup because of his history of producing points.
Jerrick Ahanmisi, 28, is also a Filipino professional basketball player who has been part of Terrafirma’s roster since 2020. He played a crucial role in the team's Commissioner's Cup campaign, averaging 22 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. Ahanmisi is known for his exceptional three-point shooting ability and has been a key contributor to Terrafirma's success in the PBA.
The trade was approved on Tuesday and was made public on the transaction page of the PBA website. Terrafirma, on the other hand, is unloading another player on the rise in Ahanmisi, who was ranked second in the PBA's most improved player award for the 2025 season.
The new lineup of the Beermen is expected to give the team a competitive edge in the coming Governors' Cup. With Ahanmisi and Hernandez on board, San Miguel Beer is looking to dominate the tournament and possibly clinch another championship title.
