BATANGAS CITY — It's charity before party for PBA's delegation in the second leg of the All-Star weekend here.
Arriving on Thursday morning, the league's current crop of stars — Paul Lee, Raymond Almazan, Stanley Pringle and Marcio Lassiter to name some — made a tour around the city center and paid Marvey Marino a visit before heading to Nazareth Hospital and Barangay Calicanto for a special edition of "Alagang PBA."
