This year's All-Star game marked the first time fans from the host city were involved in voting a player for both teams. PBA head coaches then voted for the reserves but were not allowed to choose players from their own team.

Talk 'N Text Phone Pals teammates Jimmy Alapag and Asi Taulava along with James Yap, Danny Seigle, and Eric Menk were announced as the starters for the South All-Stars, while the Barangay Ginebra trio of Mark Caguioa, Rommel Adducul, and Jayjay Helterbrand led the North All-Stars' starting five that also included Danny Ildefonso and Enrico Villanueva.{{Cite news |date=April 19, 2006 |title=Pals, Kings tandems lead All-Star squads |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5lM1AAAAIBAJ&dq=2006+pba+all-star&pg=PA29 |access-date=August 1, 2024 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |pages=A29}} As the host city, Cagayan de Oro selected Roger Yap and Kerby Raymundo for the South and North teams respectively.
