Talk 'N Text Phone Pals

After Juinio's contract expired in 2005,[5] Talk 'N Text signed him. They released him the same year.[6]

Return to Alaska franchise

Juinio returned to Alaska in the 2006-07 PBA season and won another championship in 2007 PBA Fiesta Conference.[1] He retired after the 2007-08 PBA season at the age of 36.[2]
