Sunday events

Shooting Stars

The return of the Shooting Stars had a different format. There was one PBA player, one Women's 3x3 player, one Batang PBA player and a lucky fan from Cignal TV. Team B led by Jericho Cruz of Rain or Shine Elasto Painters won the Shooting Stars.

Roster

The rosters for the All-Star Game were chosen in two ways. The starters were chosen via a fan ballot (online and at the venue during PBA games). Players are assigned to represent the North or South All-Star teams based from their place of birth. Players born in Luzon are assigned to the North All-Stars team while players born in Visayas and Mindanao are assigned to represent the South All-Stars. If the player is born outside the Philippines, the player is assigned to his parents' birthplace. Two guards and three frontcourt players who received the highest vote were named the All-Star starters. The reserves are voted by the twelve PBA coaches after the results of the fan ballot are released.
