The Mandaluyong El Tigre was a Filipino amateur basketball team based in Mandaluyong.[1] The team last competed in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) and played their home games at José Rizal University.

The team was founded for the 2018–19 season. The name was chosen as a nod to Mandaluyong's moniker being the "Tiger City". That season would go on to be the team's only season to date.

History

[edit]

Mandaluyong joined the MPBL for the 2018–19 season as part of the league's major expansion. The Mandaluyong franchise was noted for acquiring Bobby Ray Parks Jr., who was coming off stints in the NBA Developmental League and ASEAN Basketball League.[2] In their only season, they finished with a record of 8-17, third-worst in the North Division. The team would depart right after, making them the first team to depart from the MPBL. To date, the Mandaluyong franchise are the shortest-lived team in league history.
