PBA pays tribute to SEA Games hero surfer Roger Casugay

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial and the league's board of governors awards the plaque of recognition to SEA Games gold medalist surfer Roger Casugay for his heroism in the recent biennial meet.

Casugay came to the rescue of Arip Nurhidayat when his Indon opponent broke his leash and was swept away by waves during the men's longboard open competition.

The PBA's 'Hero of the Night' was feted in a simple ceremony at halftime of Game 3 between Barangay Ginebra and Meralco at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Joining Marcial during the presentation were Robert Non (San Miguel), Al Panlilio (Meralco), Alfrancis Chua (Barangay Ginebra), Bobby Rosales (Columbia), Rene Pardo (Magnolia) and Eric Arejola (NorthPort).
