“Nabigla ako. It’s a sad development,” said Guiao as the PBA offered a moment of silence for Trinidad before the start of the 2024 Rookie Draft. “Partner ko iyan si Chino. We were really close, nagkasama kami, nagumpisa ako sa broadcasting doing the games with Vintage na siya 'yung unang partner ko. Matagal kami na nagsama doon,” recalled Guiao.
“”Kumbaga magkatugma kami ng wavelength,” said Guiao who also revealed that he was the one who recommended Trinidad to be his successor as the next commissioner in the now defunct Philippine Basketball League .“Noong magtapos ako ng commissionership ko sa PBL I talked to him sabi ko kung gusto niya. Tapos ni-recommend ko sya kay boss Dioceldo to take over. So nag-take over siya and for 10 years he held the position,” said Guiao.
