PBA games back to full capacity

IT'S moving on to the 'new normal' for the Philippine Basketball Association.

Effective Wednesday, attendance for the season-ending Governor's Cup will be back to full capacity.

The decision was made after NCR Plus and other neighboring provinces have been placed under Alert Level 1 starting March 1.

The PBA strictly adhered to a 50% audience capacity while NCR remained under Level 2.

Health and safety protocols imposed by the league will remain though, as fans will still be required to present their vaccination cards along with a valid government ID.
