He's coming back to Manila again.

Stephon Marbury will be making his way to Manila later this month to conduct another fundraising project, as well as officially launch his Starbury line in the Philippines.

In an email to his agent, Sheryl Reyes, the Georgia Tech standout "can't wait to be back," and appreciates the love that the Philippines has always shown towards him.

He adds that he wants to "be a blessing to others," and doing his share in uplifting the lives of others, noting that there are a lot of people, particularly sick children, needing help.

Marbury's latest fundraiser is a collaboration with Jersey Haven for their "Jersey for a Cause" project, with some of the proceeds earmarked towards the Ahon Pamilyang Lansangan Foundation's work with Biliary Atresia-afflicted children. Proceeds will also benefit the National Press Club of the Philippines, specifically for the funding of its medical and educational assistance programs for its members and their immediate families.

Details on the design and price of the limited edition jersey will be revealed at a later date.

Steph will also have a shoe drive with Sen. Sonny Angara at selected locations during his three-day stay.

Marbury was limited to 12 games in his 3rd season with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association, averaging under 17 ppg. However, he took it up a notch in the postseason, scoring 25.7 points, which included a 43-point outburst against Guandong on March 8. He capped that off by leading the Ducks to their second CBA crown in the last three seasons.
