Sunday Salvacion (born December 17, 1978 in Alba Tago, Surigao del Sur) is a Filipino professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association currently playing for the Barako Bull Energy. He plays the small forward and shooting guard positions.
Known as a scorer during his college days, this former NCAA Most Valuable Player has evolved into a solid defender and a clutch shooter that placed him in the regular rotation of the Barangay Ginebra Kings. Salvacion, when translated to English is "salvation," is one of the good shooters the PBA has produced.
Known to elevate his game during the playoffs, Sunday's contribution was more evident during Ginebra's championship runs on the 2004-2005 and 2006-2007 Philippine Cup where he proved to be the "X Factor."
Salvacion now resides in Antipolo City, Manila Philippines with his mother, sister, and wife Hazel Buerano Salvacion.
