Game
Benjie Paras bag his second All-Star MVP honors, leading the Veterans to a 91-85 victory over the RSJ quintet. The 1999 Edition of the PBA All-Star game is said to be one of the best All-star game ever played, and it became more of a personal battle for the Veterans team of homegrown talents in proving to be better than the Fil-Americans, when the emergence of Fil-Ams dominating the league was a hot topic that year.[1]
