There are so many basketball aficionados that had hesitations on the league that will form by Senator Manny Pacquiao. But despite of this, wow, it becomes emerged on new heights by opening it only last week of January featuring the teams from the cities within Luzon and NCR area, for the meantime. Pacquiao has a clear vision on how this league will run by deploying some formats (of course, there are some changes) that will benefit the fans who are looking for new flavor of Pinoy brand of basketball. Right now, in their official Facebook page, it records a total of 60k likes and followings. I'm hoping for the best on MPBL. They should more rely on their motto " Liga ng Bawat Pilipino" to make every city happy. By the way, here are the pioneer cities incorporated with their respective sponsors: Bataan Defenders BaiShipping Batangas Tanduay Athletics Bulacan Kuyas Ligo Sardines Caloocan Supremos Longrich Imus Bandera-Glc Trucks & Equipments Muntinlupa Cagers Angeli's Resort Navotas Clutch Big J Sports ParaƱaque Patriots Yakimix Quezon City Capitals Royal MNL (Manila is proper pronounciation) Valenzuela Classic Yulz
