The PBA is already bracing for the worst as it eyes to continue its season in Batangas once Metro Manila is placed under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) from August 6 to 20.
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said he sent a letter to the Department of Health on Friday, July 30, asking permission for the league to continue its ongoing Philippine Cup outside Metro Manila in a semi-bubble setting.
The preferred site of the PBA is Lipa, Batangas.
"We're still waiting for their answer," Marcial said in Filipino.
After more than six months and numerous delays, the PBA finally returned to action as it opened its 46th season with the Philippine Cup last July 16.
