“We may even be into the ‘Ber’ monthwhen we start the season. Maybe we could start at the end of November or in December,” Cayco said in an phone interview with the Inquirer.

Season 95 was effectively canceled in March after the Inter-Agency Task Force has put sport under sectors that cannot operate in line with the general enhanced quarantine currently being implemented in Metro Manila.
