The GAB made the decision on Sunday, just days after the controversial match between Siquijor and Lapu-Lapu City sparked a backlash over accusations of game-fixing.
The government s regulatory body said the Visayas leg will go on as scheduled but under close monitoring.
“We are in the process of investigation and seriously looking into the allegations of wrongdoing. The board would like to further observe the ongoing Visayas leg before giving a go-signal for the other,” said the GAB in a statement.
