VOTING for this year’s PBA All-Star game is now ongoing as fan balloting will determine the starters for both the North and South teams.
Puerto Princesa, Palawan is this year’s host of the mid-season spectacle to be held April 23-25.
The league reverts back to the North versus South format after temporarily giving way to the Powerade-RP Team’s training and preparation for the FIBA-Asia Men’s Basketball Championship campaign last year when the Nationals played three exhibition games against the North and South squads, respectively.
The last time the two rivals played in Bacolod two years ago, the South won in overtime, 163-158, with Peter June Simon adjudged as the Most Valuable Player.
The two teams are 4-4 in their head-to-head encounter.
PBA fans can vote their favorite players through the polling places to be found at the different playing venues, while online voting through www.pba.ph starts on Monday, March 1.
With fan voting determining the starting line ups, the rest of the all-star selection will be filled up by the different coaches of the 10 ball clubs.
