Liga Pilipinas

A new basketball league, one which casts a bright eye at the future and a wary one at the past, was born Tuesday following the announcement that two regional basketball tournaments have decided to merge.

it will be called Liga Pilipinas.

The league will be formed on a merger between the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) and the National Basketball Conference (NBC). The two leagues have agreed to work toward a goal that will actually call for the dissolution of their tournaments.

Four teams from Visayas (Cebu, Bacolod-Negros, Iloilo and Mandaue), and for teams from Mindanao (Misamis Oriental, Davao City, Zamboanga City and Ozamiz City) are set to do battle in Liga Pilipinas. And, barring unforeseen glitches, eight more teams from the North and Southern Luzon such as Baguio, Ilocos Sur, Pampanga, Taguig, Tagaytay, Cavite, Batangas, Rizal and Laguna will join them.
