Zamboanga-Family Brand Sardines and Imus-Luxxe Slim will banner the 2019-20 Chooks-to-Go MPBL Lakan Season Canada Invasion alongside two all-star team selection by Sen. Manny Pacquiao and various local Canadian teams.
On Friday, Dec. 27 (Dec. 28 Philippine time), the Family Brand Sardines-backed squad square off against the Luxxe Slim-backed Bandera at the Seven Chiefs Sportsplex in Calgary.
Zamboanga seeks to continue its uphill climb in the South division. Riding on a three-game winning streak, Zamboanga is currently holding the seventh seed with a 15-10 win-loss record.
On the other hand, Jayjay Helterbrand and actor Gerald Anderson will lead also-ran Imus, which looks to play spoiler in their foe’s attempt to enter the playoffs strong.
But the Bandera was luckless the last time they played out of the country in Dubai, United Arab Emirates last September, falling to Batangas Athletics, 86-85.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao’s first All-Star team will collide against Calgary Team 1 in the curtain-raiser while the All-Star Team 2 will close the day against Calgary’s second squad.
