MPBL All-Stars get royal treatment

Expect sports to be elevated whenever SportsPlus gets involved.

That was evident at the 2026 SportsPlus Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) All-Star Festivities held last Saturday at the Ynares Center Montalban in Rizal Province.

As the official title partner of the country’s biggest regional basketball league, SportsPlus went all-out to deliver an All-Star experience worthy of the occasion.

SportsPlus deployed a full production team to document, organize, and overall support the annual extravaganza, which featured an afternoon exhibition game between the North and South Division Executives, with the North and South All-Stars battling to an 89-89 draw.

Hours before the festivities began, SportsPlus personnel were already at the venue, setting up activation booths, checking broadcast equipment, and rehearsing their various roles, including the energetic SportsPlus dancers who kept fans entertained throughout the event.

By 1 p.m., the registration booth and fan zone were open, giving supporters the chance to mingle, take photos, and get up close with their favorite MPBL stars.

The SP dancers added energy to the festivities during the intermissions, becoming part of the action in several events.

Gilas Pilipinas legend Ranidel de Ocampo and stand-up comedian GB Labrador, both SportsPlus Balyahan hosts, scored and witnessed Joe Gomez de Liano’s highlight reel during the Slam Dunk Competition.
