The approval officially adds Perez, the 2019 Rookie of the Year and First Mythical Team winner, to the league’s most successful franchises as he joins a star-studded San Miguel core led by six-time MVP June Mar Fajardo.
He also joins another prolific scorer in Terrence Romeo as well as Alex Cabagnot, Marcio Lassiter, Chris Ross, and Arwind Santos - players whose resumes are filled with multiple championships with the Beermen.
Perez, however, will not join the Beermen immediately as he is still in Calamba with the Gilas Pilipinas contingent training in the Inspire Sports Academy bubble in preparation for the Fiba Asia Cup qualifiers.

A NUMBER of PBA fans feel San Miguel should add at least a player from its core for the Beermen’s trade with Terrafirma, with CJ Perez as centerpiece, to be fair.
Perez is arguably one of the future stars of the PBA, named Rookie of the Year and earning a spot in the First Mythical Team in 2019, which is why several fans were outraged by the move of Terrafirma to trade its star player to powerhouse San Miguel for Matt Ganuelas-Rosser, Russel Escoto, Gelo Alolino and a first-round draft pick or this year.
San Miguel coach Leo Austria and Terrafirma team governor Bobby Rosales have already explained their side on why the deal was made, but despite their statement, fans continue to resent the deal, saying it is unfair for the Dyip.
