Panlilio, concurrently the SBP president, said the display of support was an emphatic statement that the pro league is 100 percent behind the national team. No other pro league in the world was as strongly represented as the PBA. There will also be a cash prize for the winner of the dance contest between the North and South before the All-Star Game. Beyond the games, Marcial said the PBA will undertake CSR activities starting Thursday, March 28, to bring the pro league closer to the fans. From all indications, the 30th anniversary of the PBA All-Star Game will be an unforgettable milestone in the 44-year history of the pro league.
