The Jun Bernardino Trophy is a trophy awarded to the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) team that wins the PBA Philippine Cup Finals. Previously known as the "Perpetual Trophy", it was created in 2006 and renamed in March 2007 in honor of former PBA commissioner Emilio "Jun" Bernardino, Jr. who served from 1994 to 2002. Currently, there are two versions of this trophy: the first version, created in 2006, is being kept permanently by the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters after winning three straight Philippine Cups (2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13)〔(All-Filipino hat-trick in the bag as Talk 'N Text completes Finals sweep ), Richard Dy, Spin.PH, January 16, 2013〕〔(Talk ‘N Text sweeps Rain or Shine to win historic third straight Philippine Cup ), InterAKTV, January 16, 2013〕 The second version, commissioned in 2014, is currently in possession of the San Miguel Beermen. ==History== From its inception in 1975, the All-Filipino Conference (also known as the All-Filipino Cup from 1993 to 2003) has been considered the most prestigious tournament in a PBA season. The winners of the tournament were previously presented with trophies with varying designs depending on what season it was won. In 1994, the league standardized the design of all of its championship trophies, including the All-Filipino Cup, in which it features the Cup supported in a base where the PBA logo, the name and year of the tournament, and the name of the winning team are engraved. The trophies were designed by Angel Zamora and Sons. An additional trophy, named as the FVR Centennial Cup trophy was awarded to the champions of the 1998 edition of the tournament to commemorate the Philippine's celebration of its Centennial Independence. The 1994 design of the All-Filipino Cup was used until 2002 (a modified version of this trophy is currently being used as the design of the runner-up trophy, and was first awarded in 2013). The next season, the trophy design for the tournament varied. Then, the All-Filipino Cup was renamed as the Philippine Cup after the league revamped its tournament calendar starting the 2004-05 season. In 2006, the league commissioned Filipino artist Ramon Orlina to design a trophy that will be named as the "Perpetual Trophy". The winners of the Philippine Cup will maintain possession of the trophy for a year, afterwards a smaller replica will be given. However, the team that will successfully defend the title for three consecutive times will permanently keep the trophy. Before the 2012-13 season, no team has ever won the championship three times in a row in a yearly succession.〔 The Crispa Redmanizers have won the All-Filipino Conference for four straight tournaments (1979, 1980, 1983, and 1984 First AFC), but not in consecutive years, since there were no All-Filipino tournament held for the 1981 and 1982 seasons.〔(That Old Black Magic: A look back at Norman Black’s sterling PBA coaching legacy ), Jay P. Mercado, InterAKTV, January 9, 2013〕 In March 2007, former league commissioner Jun Bernardino died from a heart attack. As a tribute, the league renamed the Perpetual Trophy as the Jun Bernardino Trophy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jun Bernardino Trophy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
