The PBA All-Star Weekend is back.
The league’s annual showcase will be taking place from March 6 to 8 in Candon City in Ilocos Sur. It is making a comeback after last year’s PBA All-Star Weekend, which was supposed to be held in Davao, was canceled almost at the last minute due to security concerns.
This year, however, it is all systems go. In fact, the PBA contingent is already in Candon City as we speak and raring to give the fans a show.
