CAN Meralco sustain its charge?

That’s what the Bolts intend to do when they launch their bid for a second straight leg title today as the PBA 3×3 Third Conference resumes at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque.

After a month’s rest for the holiday season, all 11 teams commence their respective campaigns in Season 3, with all eyes on Meralco following its title triumph in Leg 1 last Dec. 12.

The Bolts edged guest team MCFASolver 15-13 to win the P100,00 prize money and bag their first leg crown in almost a season.

The quartet of Alfred Batino, Raymar Caduyac, Jeff Manday, and Joseph Sedurifa will answer the call anew for the squad of coach Patrick Fran.

Meralco leads Pool A together with Ginebra, which will be led by veteran Ralph Salcedo, and perennial champion TNT bannered by many-time scoring champion Almond Vosotros.

MCFASolver also retained the line-up that netted the franchise a runner-up finish the last time, namely, current scoring king Brandon Ramirez, Terrence Tumalip, Louie Vigil, and Yutien Andrada.

The Tech Centrale are in Pool B with the Blackwater Smooth Razor, Pioneer Elastoseal, and San Miguel Beer.

Rounding up the Pool C cast are Cavitex, Purefoods, Terrafirma, and Northport.

MCFASolver gets its campaign going right in the opening game of a 13-match schedule on the first day of pool play, facing Blackwater at 10:40 a.m.

Only eight teams will advance to the knockout stage tomorrow at the same venue consisting of the top two teams in Pool A and top three teams each in Pool B and C, respectively.
