Celebrities and basketball players came together and made Fastbreak, a charity game for the victims of tropical storm Sendong, a successful event.

Basketball and non-basketball fans, including PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), had a great time at the San Juan Arena last January 6, as stars entertained the audience with what turned out to be a basketball exhibition rather than an actual game.

The star-studded lineup of the basketball-game-for-a-cause included celebrities Gerald Anderson, Jhong Hilario, Jon Hall, Young Jvee, Gab Valenciano, Luis Alandy, Marco Alcaraz, and Ervic Vijandre.

Also present at the event were rock stars Rico Blanco and Champ Lui Pio.

Giving the event an unexpected twist was the comedic act of Jose Manalo and Tado.

TV host-athlete Chris Tiu was one of the most-anticipated players.

Meanwhile, UAAP (University Athletics Association of the Philippines) and NCAA (National Collegiate Athletics Association) standouts RR Garcia, Kevin Alas, Nico Salva, Justin Chua, and many others showed their skills on the hard court.

Most applauded among the collegiate ballers was the guy behind the event: UAAP Rookie of the Year Kiefer "The Phenom" Ravena.

Basketball legends Allan Caidic and James Yap, as well PBA D-League players Chris Ellis and Karl Dehesa also dropped by.

Spotted in the audience were box-office star Vice Ganda and couples Valerie Concepcion and Dondon Hontiveros.

The game ended with Smart White winning against Meralco Red, 118 - 107.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS. With a collection of different personalities who are all stars in their respective fields, it was not your typical basketball game.

The show was a friendly gesture which delighted the fans who paid to watch their favorite stars play.

Proceeds of the game would go to our kababayans in Cagayan de Oro.

Jhong Hilario earned cheers from the crowd as he showed his "sample" exhibition moves, doing backflips and other stunts while dribbling the ball before making free-throw shots.
