The PBA is seeking the request of the Inter-Agency Task Force for 5-on-5 scrimmages to be allowed in areas with regulations below Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine.
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said the league will be asked to explain its case before IATF officials once a formal letter has been sent.
Five-on-five scrimmages are only permitted under Modified General Community Quarantine while practices can be held in GCQ areas provided that teams are split into groups.
“Titignan natin kung ano ang tugon sa atin ng Task Force at papatawag nila kami para i-justify namin kung bakit,” Marcial said in Thursday’s virtual press briefing.

Health professionals are understandably relieved that President Duterte has decided to extend until May 14 the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) in the NCR Plus bubble that continues to bear the brunt of a raging pandemic.
While the pressure on hospitals’ critical care facilities has eased, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III points out that the NCR Plus bubble and the other provinces in Calabarzon and Central Luzon still account for nearly nine out every 10 new infections. During the Palace meeting last April 28 at which the President’s decision was announced, Duque said that 87 percent of all new cases reported on that day came from the three regions.
April 27, 2021 DAVAO City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said she wants the city to be under modified general community quarantine, but fears that there will be low compliance in the health protocols. Of course, gusto nato mag-MGCQ. Ang dili lang nato gusto sa MGCQ is that mapareho siya last year nga abi sa mga tao kung MGCQ (we wanted to shift to MGCQ, but we don’t want to experience what happened last year to MGCQ), and this is the lowest form of community quarantine, kanang mawala ang vigilance and pag-strictly follow sa (some won’t be vigilant or will fail to strictly follow our) minimum health protocols, Duterte-Carpio said on Monday, April 26, in an interview on 87.5 FM Davao City Disaster Radio.
