After Swift failed to defend the Commissioner 's Cup title , coach Yeng Guiao has decided to left the RFM franchise and joined Pepsi Mega in the 1994 PBA Governors Cup in an exchange of coaches as Pepsi coach Derrick Pumaren has taken over the Swift bench and led the team to a runner-up finish in behind champion Alaska Milkmen . In the 21st PBA season , the most memorable battles between Swift , now known as Sunkist Orange Juicers , and Purefoods happened in the Commissioner 's Cup . Swift has acquired former Purefoods import Ronnie Grandison as their reinforcement while Purefoods settled anew on last year 's Commissioner 's Cup best import and who led the Hotdogs to a title ; Kenny Redfield . Purefoods scored two victories , one in the last day of eliminations on July 18 as they dealt the Orange Juicers their first loss , 91-81 , after going unbeaten at 9-0 . The Hotdogs repeated in their lone quarterfinal match and the two rivals were paired in the best-of-five semifinal series . Sunkist prevailed in five games , winning the decisive fifth game , 105-99 on August 20 . The next season in the 1996 Commissioner 's Cup , Purefoods signed former Swift import Ronnie Thompkins . The Hotdogs and the Orange Bottlers battled it out in a playoff for the last semifinals seat , Purefoods won 89-76 . The two teams played only once in the Governors Cup and Purefoods , with a new monicker Corned Beef Cowboys , finally beat the " hurricane " Tony Harris as the prolific import was 7-0 over the Purefoods team during his previous stints in 1992 and 1993 . The Cowboys escape with a 97-94 win over Sunkist on October 6 . Their rivalry slowed down by the late 1990s as two RFM cagers who have also don the Purefoods jersey before ; Al Solis and Nelson Asaytono , have already been gone to the team and moved to different squads . The only significance that took place was their former coaches accepting an offer to coach the team they used to have lots of hardcourt battles . Derrick Pumaren , who led Sunkist to two championships and a near-grandslam , became Purefoods headcoach from 1999-2000 , leading the ballclub to two runner-up finishes . Chot Reyes , who won two titles with Purefoods , was Pop Cola 's coach in their final two seasons in 2000-2001
