Pacquiao was supposed to join the Senate Defenders for the UNTV Cup, teaming up with fellow senators Joel Villanueva and Sonny Angara.
According to Marcial, "He has an existing UPC with the PBA, so I don’t see him being allowed to play in other leagues,"

"Pero kung tournament, malabo yan.[But if it's a tournament, that's not possible]", he said.
