PBA All-Star Weekend in Jeopardy: Davao Event Postponed Over Security Fears
Source: news.source.inquirer
The PBA All-Star Weekend, traditionally a fan-favorite event, has been postponed due to security concerns in Davao, the originally planned venue. The league is actively seeking a new location in the Visayas region, with a decision needed within the next two weeks or the event may be canceled. This situation arises from political tensions following the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Key Points
The PBA All-Star Weekend in Davao was postponed due to security concerns linked to political tensions after the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Commissioner Willie Marcial is considering alternative venues in the Visayas region to host the event within the next two to three weeks.
If a suitable venue cannot be found within the next two weeks or after Holy Week, the All-Star Weekend may be canceled.
This would mark only the fourth time the All-Star event has not been held since its inception in 1989, with previous cancellations occurring in 2002 and during the 2020-2022 period due to the pandemic.
