The agency warned against these false claims.
In a statement issued on their social media pages, ABS-CBN’s talent management arm Star Magic denounced a circulating social media post.
In which, a certain account on Facebook claimed that a all-female Thai volleyball team will be joining the Star Magic All-Star Games 2026, which will happen this August 23.
Star Magic said that it has been made aware of the said post, which it outright classified as a “fabricated social media post.”
It stressed, “This information is FALSE. The circulating poster is not an official material released by Star Magic, ABS-CBN, or GMMTV.”
In light of this, the company encouraged the public to “remain vigilant and verify information only through the official platforms before sharing or engaging with unverified content.”
While the appearance of an all-women Thai volleyball team is false, what is indeed happening on the said day is the highlight men’s basketball match between Team Star Magic from the Philippines and Team GMMTV from Thailand.
Players on the Filipino side are Gerald Anderson, Emilio Daez, River Joseph, JM Ibarra, Ronnie Alonte, Young JV, Tristan Ramirez, Argel Saycon, Jeremiah Lisbo, Ashton Salvador, and Elyson De Dios.
Over at the GMMTV side, meanwhile, confirmed to be playing are AJ-Chayapol Jutamas, Neo-Trai Nimtawat, Joss-Wayar Sangngern, Gawin-Caskey, JJ-Chayakorn Jutamas, Ryu-Phudtripart Bhudthonamochai, Aston-Ratiphat Luengvoraphan, Marc-Natarit Worakornlertsith, Ping-Krittanun Aunchananun, and Teshow-Promsakha Na Sakonnakhon.
Meanwhile, the All-Star Games 2026 will also feature two other events — the Junior Basketball Game and Women’s Volleyball.
In the Junior Basketball Game, Team Blue and Team Red will be facing each other.
