DIGOS CITY, Davao del Sur—Manny Pacquiao will miss the Mindanao leg of the PBA All Stars to attend to his work at the Senate.

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said that brother Bobby Pacquiao will take his place in the Legends Shootout, wherein the younger Pacquiao will partner with former PBA star and now Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League commissioner Kenneth Duremdes.

“May session daw siya sa Senate ngayon, kaya si Bobby daw muna ang sasalang,” Marcial said shortly before the opening of the all-star celebrations at Davao del Sur Coliseum.

The Legends Shootout will serve as the appetizer for the PBA All Star Game between the Mindanao All Stars and the Gilas pool.

Other tandems to be featured in the shootout are Allan Caidic and Special Assistant to the President Bong Go; Peter June Simon and presidential son-in-law Mans Carpio; and Scottie Thompson and Major Michael Sabsal.
