PBA Team TNT Tropang Giga is set to bear a new name, “TNT Tropang 5G”, at the PBA All-Filipino Cup, which kicks off on April 4.

A perennial finals contender, TNT Tropang 5G served several masterclass wins in recent PBA history. The collective passion and heart they showed, particularly in the recent seven-game, overtime championship-clinching victory at the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup Finals, is a reflection of the team’s connection.  Winning 11 PBA titles, TNT Tropang 5G carries two-and-a-half decades of bringing saya to millions of Filipinos.

“Sobrang saya na maging part ako ng milestone na ito ng TNT. The fans have been with us through the years, from the ups and downs. Lahat ng naa-achieve namin as a team, as an organization, lahat ng panalo namin – we dedicate talaga to the fans, sa mga KaTropa natin na tinuturing na rin naming second family namin,” Point Guard Jayson Castro said, who has played with the TNT since being drafted in 2008.

“I feel blessed na mapabilang sa TNT kasi makulay ang history ng team. From the time nina Kuya Asi (Taulava) and Kuya Jimmy (Alapag) during the Mobiline/Talk ‘n Text Phone Pals from the early 2000s, nasubaybayan ko talaga kung paano sinundan ng PBA fans ‘yung team through the years. Salamat talaga nang marami kasi andiyan palagi ang mga KaTropa para sumuporta sa amin,” TNT power forward Calvin Oftana adds.

“It has been a tough series for us lalo na yung last one na umabot ng seven games tapos overtime pa. Pero gaya ng lahat ng KaTropa na sumusuporta sa amin, lumalaban para sa araw-araw na saya ang buong team,” Finals MVP Rey Nambatac adds.

Nambatac hails from Cagayan de Oro, while Oftana is from Danao, Cebu–both being part of the core Tropang Bisdak being celebrated online. The others are Poy Erram (Cagayan de Oro), RR Pogoy (Minglanilla, Cebu), and Glenn Khobuntin (Cagayan de Oro).

Boasting close to 35 million subscribers as of the end of 2024, TNT is reinforcing its commitment to bring saya to subscribers nationwide with its wider mobile network, more affordable and value-packed data offers, and more exciting experiences and perks.

KaTropas can expect more TNT 5G Max areas and more cell sites to be rolled out across the country this year to provide better coverage and ensure a leveled-up mobile experience as KaTropas enjoy their favorite online activities—from working or studying online, streaming their favorite teleseryes on their daily commute, watching the latest TikTok uploads of their celebrity idols, to playing mobile games with the whole tropa.
