Stephen Curry's second visit to the Philippines

Stephen Curry kicked off his SC30 Asia Tour with a visit to Manila.

The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player was warmly welcomed by fans when he touched down early Friday.

Curry is in town to promote his signature basketball shoe with Under Armour.

He entertained the crowd who came to see him at the Mall of Asia Arena and even tried the Filipino dessert halo-halo. He will be making another appearance at the opening ceremonies of UAAP Season 81.

It is Curry's second visit to the Philippines. He also made a stop in our basketball-crazy country in 2015.

He will also be making stops in China and Japan.
