College basketball in the Philippines

College basketball in the Philippines is fragmented; 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 BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas

The UAAP Men's championship is considered by many as the most prestigious of the trophies, closely followed by the NCAA Seniors' championship. In the Juniors tournaments, the NCAA is seen by many as the more competitive vis-a-vis with the UAAP. Only the UAAP has a Women's championship.
