PBA: Boracay mayor urges residents to support PBA All Stars

BORACAY ISLAND, Malay- Malay Mayor John Yap has urged residents here to support the 2011 Hala Bora All Star Weekend of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

The PBA All Star players already arrived in this resort island Wednesday after making a courtesy call at the office of Aklan Governor Carlito Marquez.

The All-Star Game pitting the North Stars and the South Stars is looking forward to the repeat of the performance in Puerto Princesa, Palawan last year with the former defeating the latter in a 133-132 decision.

"Many of the residents are patronizing PBA games in television sets. I hope they would patronize the game as they now see the games live in this resort island," Yap said.

Security personnel have been deployed by the local police station here to ensure peace and order during the entire duration of the event.

Aside from their games at the Boracay Convention Center here, players are expected to party with tourists during their stay in this resort island.
