Source: news.source.sunstar
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is on the verge of canceling its 2025 All-Star Weekend due to persistent venue issues. Initially planned for May 2-4 in Davao and Panabo, the event was moved due to security concerns following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte. Subsequent attempts to reschedule for May 16-18 in another province failed due to the unavailability of the prospective host. Commissioner Willie Marcial stated that further postponement is not feasible due to the league's schedule, marking a potential first cancellation of the All-Star event since the 2020-2022 pandemic hiatus.
