Commissioner Von Fernandez said each team are required to tap homegrown players with two imports who cannot play together on the floor to give the Ilonggo cagers the much-needed exposure.
“With the rules basically focusing on local players, this edition will be more exciting,” Fernandez said. “We will only allow a maximum of two imports and can play one at a time.”
He added: “With this, our local players will play a major role in hitting their teams’ objectives. In this league, local players mean players who are residing in Region 6.”
