Pilipinas Legends
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pilipinas Legends is a men's basketball league in the Philippines, organized by the Sports Legends Managers Inc. and composed of former players from the Philippine Basketball Association and minor leagues. Chito Loyzaga was the league's first commissioner.[1] As the founder Dick Balajadia said, the league was created for basketball stars to continue inspiring the youth, as well as give back to the community by participating in advocacy centered on nation-building.[2] On October 17, 2015, it was announced that the league will take over control of the Pacquiao Powervit Pilipinas Aguilas in the ASEAN Basketball League.[3]
Among the initial players who expressed interest to participate in the tournament are Marlou Aquino, Alvin Patrimonio, Nelson Asaytono, Jerry Codiñera, Willie Miller, Kenneth Duremdes, Poch Juinio , Aries Dimaunahan and Johnedel Cardel.
