That explains why Jarencio wants his Batang Pier to constantly be on their toes when they battle the cellar-dwelling Meralco Bolts Wednesday in the Smart Bro-PBA Philippine Cup at Cuneta Astrodome.

Much more modest is the aim of Meralco, which simply wants to avoid a fourth straight loss and stay alive in its bid to stay in the hunt for inclusion among the 10 teams making it to the playoffs.
