1 Related The PBA took steps to move closer to a possible return. Throughout June and July the PBA worked to get the teams back to practice. On July 18, the league announced that the Philippine Cup would be set for October. Practices were halted again in mid-August as Metro Manila locked down. Many groups placed their bids to host the PBA Bubble and the league announced on September 17 that Clark, Pampanga would be the host. The delegation would stay at the Quest Plus Conference Center and games would be played at the Angeles University Foundation Arena. The IATF did not approve the plans until September 24 and PBA teams started making their way to Clark four days later.
