MANILA, Philippines — Quezon Province, Cebu and Pasay try to extend their hot runs against separate opponents on Thursday, August 28, as the Manny Pacquiao presents 1xBet-MPBL 2025 Season resumes at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.

The South Division leader Quezon Huskers tackle the Sarangani Grippers at 4 p.m., the Cebu Greats battle Zamboanga SiKat at 6 p.m., while the Pasay Voyagers tangle with the Bacolod Tubo Slashers at 8 p.m. in the round-robin elimination phase of the 30-team, two-division tournament.

The Huskers stunned the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards, 78-73, on August 23 to post their third straight win and improve their record to 19-4.
