The City of Manila is the capital of the Philippines and its second-most populated city, with close to two million inhabitants. It is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing cities in Southeast Asia. Located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay, on the island of Luzon, the city has a long and distinguished sports history.

Basketball is Manila and the Philippines' favorite sport. Most local villages have basketball courts with court markings drawn on the streets, with inter-village leagues held every summer, from April to May.
