=== Barangay Ginebra Kings ===
In 2006, Mamaril became part of one of the most controversial trades in [[Philippine Basketball Association|PBA]] history which also involved [[Rafi Reavis]], [[Rudy Hatfield]], [[Aris Dimaunahan]], and [[Ervin Sotto]], as sister teams Coca-Cola and the [[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel|Barangay Ginebra Kings]] were not allowed to make trades with one another.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Cordero |first=Abac |date=August 2, 2006 |title=PBA puts 7-player deal under microscope |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2006/08/02/350555/pba-puts-7-player-deal-under-microscope |access-date=2025-01-10 |website=Philstar.com}}</ref> Initially, the trade was denied, but eventually pushed through, with Mamaril and Hatfield heading to Ginebra.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 6, 2006 |title=3-way trade ng 7 players bulilyaso |url=https://www.philstar.com/palaro/2006/08/06/351343/3-way-trade-ng-7-players-bulilyaso |access-date=2025-01-10 |website=Philstar.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mangonon III |first=Fidel |date=January 23, 2013 |title=In terms of size, this 10-player trade still pales in comparison to two past deals |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/in-terms-of-size-tuesdays-deal-still-pales-in-comparison-to-two-past-transactions |access-date=2025-01-10 |website=Spin.ph |language=en}}</ref> With the trade, Ginebra was seen as the team to beat.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Velasco |first=Bill |date=September 4, 2006 |title=Everyone's gunning for Ginebra |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2006/09/04/356280/everyone146s-gunning-ginebra |access-date=2025-01-10 |website=Philstar.com}}</ref>

During a preseason game between Ginebra and the [[Magnolia Beverage Masters]], Mamaril was punched repeatedly by Magnolia's [[Andy Seigle]].
