College basketball in the Philippines information


College basketball in the Philippines is fragmented; as of today there is no single governing body, with several leagues in Metro Manila and in the provinces. The University Athletic Association of the Philippines and National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) champions are considered to be the major champions, although several other leagues, claim their champions in equal standing with those of the UAAP and the NCAA.

Furthermore, the NCAA and the UAAP were not members of the embattled Basketball Association of the Philippines, the then FIBA-recognized national basketball federation, although other leagues are members. Only in 2007 were the leagues included in the new national federation, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.

In 2008, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas sanctioned the Philippine Collegiate Champions League, a tournament originally known as the "Collegiate Championship League" (CCL) since 2002, as the country's collegiate men's national basketball champion. This league will work together with the different collegiate basketball leagues (UAAP, NCAA, etc.) in the implementation of this tournament.[1]
