Previously known as the "Perpetual Trophy", it was created in 2006 and renamed in March 2007 in honor of former PBA commissioner Emilio "Jun" Bernardino.[1]

The trophy is made up of 14-karat gold and worth PHP 500,000. It was created by Filipino National Artist Ramon Orlina.[2]

Only the team that wins the Philippine Cup three successive times will permanently keep the trophy, otherwise, only a replica of the award will be hand out to one-time or two-time winners.

The current holders of the trophy are the Sta. Lucia Realtors.
