After a breakthrough playoff run in last year's All-Filipino, the Terrafirma Dyip start this new Philippine Cup with a clean slate.
Terrafirma opens what could be the last chapter in its PBA journey as the Dyip face the Phoenix Fuel Masters in the Season 49 Philippine Cup curtain-raiser on Friday, April 4, at 5:00 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Gone are the key starters from Terrafirma’s rare quarterfinal run in last year’s All-Filipino tilt—lost to trades and free agency.
Now, the Dyip enter the new Philippine Cup with a drastically reshaped roster as last season but with still plenty to prove, especially after collecting just two wins across the Governors’ Cup and Commissioner’s Cup combined.
With a clean slate and no imports in play, the Philippine Cup offers Terrafirma a chance to find identity and stability under an all-local setup.
Whether the Dyip can discover the right mix to stay competitive remains to be seen, but Friday’s opener against Phoenix is their first test in building toward a new direction.
