Sponsor names are transitional, like B.League jersey patches. The territory is forever. The corporate name is a guest.
QC Ginebra Northstars
NORTHSTARS/ Quezon City
Home of Araneta Coliseum, the Big Dome that hosted Muhammad Ali, the Beatles, and 50 years of Philippine basketball. QC is the most populated city in the country. It has always been the center of the game. Now it finally has a team that actually belongs to it.
🏟 Araneta Coliseum
Manila San Miguel Maharlika
MAHARLIKA/ Manila
Before Manila was a capital, it was a kingdom. The Maharlika were the warrior-noble class of pre-colonial Tagalog society: free, fierce, beholden to no one. Rajah Sulayman ruled these shores before the colonizers arrived. That spirit never left. It just needed a jersey.
🏟 Rizal Memorial Coliseum
Pasay Magnolia Layag
LAYAG/ Pasay
A sail on Manila Bay. The gateway into the Philippines, through NAIA, through the waters that connect us to the world. Layag means to sail, to leave, to arrive. In Pasay, the Philippines begins and ends.
🏟 Cuneta Astrodome · MOA Arena
South Metro TNT Obra
OBRA/ South Metro
Las Piñas has the only bamboo organ in the world. Parañaque hosts Entertainment City: Solaire, City of Dreams, the Las Vegas of the Philippines, and a hidden wetland bird sanctuary most Manileños don't even know exists. Three cities. One obra maestra.
🏟 Villar Coliseum · Parañaque Coliseum · Muntinlupa Sports Center
Laguna Meralco Liwanag
LIWANAG/ Laguna
José Rizal was born here. Noli Me Tangere gave us Elias, the unsung revolutionary who died so others could be free. The Laguna Copperplate, the oldest written record ever found in the Philippines, was pulled from these waters. Laguna de Bay glows at dawn. That light is what this province gave the nation.
🏟 Jose Rizal Coliseum · Alonte Sports Arena · Santa Rosa Sports Complex
Rizal NorthPort Sierra
SIERRA/ Rizal
The Province of the Rising Sun. The Sierra Madre runs its spine, the longest mountain range in the country, the green shield of Luzon. Antipolo sits high, looking down at the valley below. Every morning, the sun rises first over Rizal. Every morning, the Sierra is watching.
🏟 Ynares Center Antipolo · Ynares Center Montalban
Bulacan NLEX Republika
REPUBLIKA/ Bulacan
In Malolos, the First Philippine Republic was born. The Malolos Congress drafted the first democratic constitution in Asia. Marcelo H. del Pilar came from here. Balagtas wrote Florante at Laura on this land. Republika is not just a name. It's a declaration.
🏟 Baliuag Star Arena · Malolos Sports and Convention Center · San Jose Del Monte Sports Complex
Pampanga Converge Ningas
NINGAS/ Pampanga
Every December, San Fernando lights up the sky with giant paról lanterns: intricate, blazing, spectacular. Mount Arayat stands watch like a sentinel. The Kapampangan are proud, fierce, and known for the best food in the country. Ningas is the blaze. The fire that doesn't apologize for burning.
🏟 Angeles City Sports Complex · Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center
Cavite Rain or Shine Kalayaan
KALAYAAN/ Cavite
On June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite, Aguinaldo declared Philippine independence. The flag was raised. The anthem played for the first time. Kalayaan, freedom, was born here, on this soil. Every home game is a celebration of that moment.
🏟 AATF Sports Complex · Bacoor City Gymnasium
Batangas Blackwater Barako
BARAKO/ Batangas
Barako means strength. Dominance. The Batangueño spirit that doesn't back down. It's also the bold, full-bodied coffee Batangas has cultivated for centuries, one of the rarest in the world. This team does not play soft. It never has.
🏟 Batangas Province Events Center · Batangas City Coliseum · FPJ Arena
Cebu Terrafirma Pintados
PINTADOS/ Cebu
Before the colonizers arrived, the warriors of the Visayas covered their bodies in sacred tattoos, the pintados, the painted ones. When Magellan landed in Mactan, Lapu-Lapu stood his ground and said no. The Pintados carry that tradition: battle-tested, intricately designed, impossible to erase.
🏟 SM Seaside Cebu Arena · Hoops Dome Lapu-Lapu · Cebu Coliseum
Davao Phoenix Agila
AGILA/ Davao
The Philippine Eagle soars over Mindanao, the rarest, most powerful bird of prey in the country. It nests in the forests of Davao, protected and sovereign. It does not migrate. It does not retreat. Agila is not just a mascot. It's a statement of where this team comes from and what it refuses to become.
🏟 The King Dome
