Petron acquired power forward Doug Kramer, sending veteran Dorian Peña and a 2013 second round pick to Barako in exchange.

In 27 games for Barako Bull this season, Kramer has normed 5.33 points and 7.04 rebounds. During the most-recent All-Filipino conference, he had an impressive four-game stretch where he normed 18.5 boards per outing.

Peña on the other hand is a 12-season veteran who put up averages of 2.08 points and 4.28 rebounds in 25 games. He actually spent most of the 2011-12 season with Barako Bull, before getting shipped to Petron on May 1, 2012 for Carlo Sharma and Celino Cruz. - AMD, GMA News
