'''Alberto “Abet” Guidaben''' is a former PBA basketball player. He was part of the fabled [[Crispa Redmanizers]] ballclub that won two Grand Slam, in 1976 and 1983. He was a two-time Most Valuable Player award, in 1983 and 1987.

He started his career with the [[University of San Jose-Recoletos]]. Then in 1973, Guidaben became part of the Crispa team in the old [[Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association]] (MICAA). Later that year, he and Crsipa teammate [[William "Bogs"]] Adornado were named to the Philippine team that won the 1973 Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) held in Manila. The two also played for the Philippine national team that played in the 1974 Mundo Basket (the World Championship) held in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In the PBA, Guidaben of Crispa had a great rivalry with Toyota's Ramon Fernandez which was considered a classic in itself. Known as the [[Pride of Camiguin]], Guidaben won MVP honors in 1983 while with Crispa and 1987 while with San Miguel Beer. Unfortunately, Guidaben wound up as a journeyman of sorts having played for eight teams. Aside from Crispa and San Miguel, he also dribbled for Manila Beer, Tanduay, Purefoods, Alaska Milk, Pepsi Mega and Shell Velocity.

He finished his illustrious PBA career as the No. 2 leading scorer with 15,775 points (just behind Fernandez' 18,996), No. 2 in total rebounds with 8,570, No. 2 in defensive rebounds with 6,197, No. 1 in offensive rebounds with 2,373 and No. 1 in games played with 1,081. He also had 2,284 assists, 340 steals and 922 blocks in 29,577:10 total minutes played (No. 3 behind Fernandez and Alvin Patrimonio). He finished with career averages of 14.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 2.1 apg, 77.6% FT (2,875/3,707), 53.1% FG (6,420/12,092).
