A basketball league game in San Nicolas, Batangas ended in a brawl, as players from rival teams got into a scuffle during the second quarter.

According to GMA News stringer Peewee Bacuño, members of the Balete and Poblacion teams got into a fight mid-game, prompting officials to end the match.

As seen in several videos uploaded to Facebook, the fight started with two players from opposing teams and eventually worsened when other players got involved, leading to a brawl.

Fans of both teams were also reported to have gotten involved to the point of throwing chairs.

The organizers have canceled the event, and have declared the Poblacion Team as champions, as they were not the ones who started the fight.

The Poblacion team earlier said they would file cases against the Balete team due to the injuries sustained by their players, but later said they will no longer push through with it in the spirit of Christmas. — Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/BM, GMA News
