PBA Governors' Cup fires off on Dec. 8

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial is scheduled to sit down with various LGUs where the league holds its games, confident he will get them to agree to bring the fans back for the import-laced conference now that that government has eased the quarantine restriction in NCR.

The government's Inter-Agency Task Force has given the PBA its approval to go ahead with the Governors' Cup. That leaves the league to work with LGUs ready to host the PBA games with the presence of fans.

"Kasalukuyan tayong nakikipagusap mga LGUs at tayo ay umasa na mapagbibigyan ang ating kahilingan na pahintulutang makapasok at makapanood ang ating mga fans ng laro," said Marcial, who is scheduled to sit down with the LGU of Pasay City on Dec. 1.

So in the meantime, the PBA will continue to miss the cheers of the fans when the Governors' Cup fires off on Dec. 8.

The first two scheduled games of the import-laced conference will be played at the Ynares Arena in Pasig City but fans will not yet be allowed entry.
