After Austin Rivers joined the LA Clippers with his dad Doc Rivers, the first Father and Son in the NBA finally happened. However, in the PBA it already happened 3x , one in Dodot-Jawo with Gordons Gin , Marc-Ato Agustin in Petron and Chris-Norman Black in Sta Lucia. It's really fun to watch how the Father and Son works in basketball, usually the Dad needs to have power over the team to make his son playable for the team which most likely happened for Jawo and Ato's team but in the case of Chris Tan and Black, Chris already established his career with Sta Lucia before Black came in so Black doesn't need his power to give extra game time to his stepson Tan.
























The Cabatus


JunJun Cabatu (2008-2009 Ginebra) - Sonny Cabatu (1991-1995 Ginebra)

The Cabatus played in the PBA as centers in separate generations. Sonny the senior had a great career in PBA and known to be hard headed brawler . In the other side, his Son Junjun had hard time to get his own name and step out his Dad's name. Junjun played with Ginebra for a trade from Alaska then after season he went out to PBA and played in ABL. The father Cabatu is one of the players named as the greatest players in Ginebra history.























The Hubaldes


Paulo Hubalde ( 2006–2007 Ginebra) - Freddie Hubalde (1990  AƱejo Rhum 65ers)


Freddie Hubalde the senior is known to be one of the Shooting guard to ever play in the PBA specially during the Crispa golden years. His son , Paulo tried to break his father record but so far he has no luck to have a good break. Paulo played with Ginebra in one season while Freddie finished his career with Anejo in 90's, both father and son had a one season in Ginebra franchise.
































The Aguilars


Japeth Aguilar  (2012-2015) , Peter Aguilar  (1989 -1990)


Japeth after he came to Ginebra , finally fulfilled his dream to play with his Dad's team. Japeth traded to Ginebra for a multi-way trade while his dad, Peter played for few years with Anejo. Peter did not have a good career in PBA because the Anejo already full of good players in his position but Japeth ,in the other hand is the current team's best Power-forward and twin-towered with Greg Slaughter. This is just one of instance that the 2nd Generation had a better career than his dad, Japeth is still continuing to get better on his career and probably time will tell he'll be a great player with awards.


















The Mamarils


Billy Mamaril (2006-2015) - Romulo Mamaril  ( 1987 - 1991 )

The Mamaril Father and Son both played with Ginebra franchise, Bily currently playing with Ginebra  as their legit center while Romulo played with Anejo then later became Ginebra in the 80's. The Mamarils are known to be one of the best centers in the Ginebra history. Remember the Skinny Mamril in Anejo, who usually blocks big men while his Billy a bulky version of his Dad who's until now continuing their legacy.















The Jaworskis


Dodot Jaworski (1995-1999 Gordon Gins) - Robert Jaworski (1984–1998  Ginebra San Miguel)

When Dodot drafted by Ginebra in 1995 despite with big draftees , people already know the reason. Fans where waiting to see the Father and Son on the court but sadly did not happen in the season they played together (as far as I remember) .

Robert , the senior known to be THE LEGEND  in PBA, he' made the PBA from what it is right now and continuing his legacy until now, while the Junior, well he had a good career in Ateneo and few bonus game with Gordons. Dodot had his first championship with his Dad in 1997 , they're the only Father and Son who are actively played together with the same team, Robert was a playing-coach and Dodot as a role player. Remember the moment in Gordons  in garbage time, the fans will shout Dodot and Jawo to play but actually never happened.























The Agustins


Mark Agustin (2011 Petron ) - Ato Agustin (1989–1996 San Miguel Beermen)

Ato , the senior, is known to be one of the greatest Shooting Guard, offensive guy to ever play with SMB. One of the playes to won the MVP and MIP. In 2011, fans got surprised with the accusation with his son, Mark in Petron . Though Mark is a good player but the Petron is already a power house. Mark got traded in the same season probably his Dad has no control to keep him in the team. The Agustin in Petron is another moment in the PBA to see Father and Son, though unlike the Jaworskis ,Ato is not a playing coach so won't be playing with his son on the court.



















The Webbs


Jason Webb (2000 Tanduay) - Freddie Webb (1976-1978 Tanduay Rhum Makers )

Freddie the Senior   had a great career in the PBA for few years , he was famous during his prie and also because of his macho-mestiszo charisma , he won the crowds heart. His son Jason, made a name for himself, starting from DLSU he's known to be a sneaky guard and throwing big shots. Jason drafted by Sta Lucia in the 1st round picks along with big names draftees. The younger Webb struggle on his career because of the emergence of the Fil-Ams which prioritize by the teams then left his career. Freddie Webb is part of the PBA committee while Jason is part of Purefoods coaching staff.



























The Black-Tan


 Chris Tan (90's Sta Lucia) - Norman Black ()

Norman Black is not actually Chris Biological Father, Black married Chris mother in the 90's In 2000 when Black step up as the Sta.Lucia head coach, a Father and Son came to Sta Lucia history. One of their great moments is when  Chris had a memorable game winning shot in the final seconds which was set-up by his step-dad, that was probably the greatest moment for the Father-Son duo in the PBA.
