Donny throws shade, Cong TV claps back with "Katapusan n'yo na!" musical roast at Star Magic All-Star Games 2025

Leveling up the excitement at the Star Magic All-Star Games 2025 on Sunday, July 20, was the much-anticipated basketball rematch between the Star Magic Shooting Stars and Team Payaman’s ANBILIBABOL, which first clashed on the All-Star court in 2023, with Star Magic emerging victorious.

Team Payaman served up ‘pogi’ vibe and confidence during the parade of players. Cong TV suited up as the playing coach for Team ANBILIBABOL, with his brother Junnie Boy in the roster, together with their friends Boss Keng, Dudut, Burring, Yoh, Carding, Bok, Steve, Nelson, Matthaios, Igme, Chris, and Patrick.

Meanwhile, Gerald Anderson returned to the sidelines as head coach of the Shooting Stars, with Donny Pangilinan leading the charge as team captain. The lineup was a solid mix of veterans and rising players, including River Joseph, Elyson de Dios, JV Kapunan, and Argel Saycon, who were all previous Mythical 5 members, along with former MVP Ashton Salvador.

Adding more muscle and momentum were Joao Constancia, Kobie Brown, Emilio Daez, Diego Gutierrez, Argel Saycon, BGYO Mikki, and Seth Fedelin, who’ve all become familiar faces on the All-Star hardcourt. Rookies JM Ibarra and Marc Nanninga also joined the roster.

Over at thee Shooting Stars' camp, first to enter the court were the Shooting Stars’ dazzling muses, Kolette Madelo and Kai Montinola. Then came a dance performance from "Pilipinas Got Talent" Season 7 finalist Fuego Eterno, known for their explosive hip-hop routines and eye-catching costumes. Just when the crowd thought the number was over, the real surprise kicked in as the other masked dancers in matching outfits revealed themselves as the Shooting Stars players in full disguise.

The arena erupted in cheers, stunned and hyped by the unexpected, show-stopping entrance.

But before the game tipped off, things heated up with a classic trash talk exchange that brought out the swagger from both sides. Donny carried the confidence of a reigning champ, telling Team Payaman, “Galingan n’yo na lang." He said they've been watching vlogs where Cong's squad was seen getting "pa-pogi" touch-ups from beauty clinics. So, Donny dropped the line of the day: “Sana mamaya, pogi rin ‘yong score n’yo.”

Coach Gerald could only shake his head and laugh, saying, “Lahat ng yabang napunta na kay Donny.”

Team Payaman’s Cong stayed quiet at first, but his brother Junnie Boy stepped in, saying, “Ipakita na lang sa laro," when asked why they didn't prepare a special number like they did in 2023. Junie Boy insisted they're focused on the scoreboard. “’Yong performance, sa kanila na ‘yan,” he added.

When asked for their final message before the game, Cong grabbed the microphone and had the Shooting Stars line up, then signaled for the lights to go off. Suddenly, a video montage played, flashing highlights from their 2023 match, followed by a surprise performance from Team Payaman themselves. The court turned into a stage for a full-on, musical-style showdown themed “Katapusan n’yo na,” drawing laughter and cheers from the crowd.
