Controversy

On October 25, 2012, the Shakers debut with an 88-82 win over Cafe France at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig. Their win was forfeited by the league when they field in an ineligible player Joseph Eriobu in the second quarter of that game. Eriobu lack the documentary requirements to prove that he is a Filipino citizen. PBA Commissioner Chito Salud also slapped the team with a ₱25,000 fine.
