AS the old saying goes, "Behind every successful man is a strong woman." This is the case for PBA players and their partners, too.

We're used to seeing the PBA wives and girlfriends (WAGS) cheering on for their partners in the sidelines. But because of the pandemic, it's rare to see these ladies in the arenas — but we're sure that will change once restrictions ease up.

But whether or not they're physically present in the games, we're sure these WAGs are there to provide the emotional support these athletes need as they navigate the ups and downs of a physically and emotionally demanding job.

Meet the familiar names (and new faces!) of our 2022 list of PBA WAGS.
