This coming Thursday January 25 at the historic Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City the Manny Pacquiao founded Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League will unveil its inaugural season through its Anta-Rajah conference. 10 teams has confirmed participation which will feature teams that will bear city or provincial names - remember MBA? The league founder and senator Manny Pacquiao has envisioned this league not to compete with PBA but instead to provide opportunities to local players in barangay levels as well as those playing in other commercial leagues. Similar with MBA, it will employ home and away format which is expected to excite local supporters and boost its fan base. It has already gotten a major media backing from ABS-CBN's Sports and Action which has signed with the league as its official coverage partner airing the games live during its play dates.
Teams competing are (go check, like and share your Team's FB Pages by clicking on links), Caloocan Supremos, Batangas Tanduay Athletics, Bulacan Kuyas, Bataan Defenders, Navotas Clutch, Muntinlupa Cagers, Valenzuela Classic, Quezon City Capitals, Paranaque Patriots, and Imus
