CWBL - Countrywide Basketball League

There will be a maximum of eight teams competing in the CWBL, and the ideal scenario for Gamboa is for four teams to compete from Luzon and Metro Manila, and for four more teams to compete from Visayas and Mindanao.

Filipino players who have graduated from college but missed out on the chance to make it to the professional league will have the chance to show their talent and skills through the CWBL, where they will play for local teams based in Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and Metro Manila.

"The coverage of the game will give focus to localities," explained CWBL chairman Atty. Rey Gamboa during Monday's contract signing with ABS-CBN Sports. "Most of the games will be played in the provinces."

"The objective is two-fold," he added, "One, we would like to give hundreds of basketball players who graduate every year from their respective schools, but only a handful of which will find their way to the professional leagues.".

There will be a maximum of eight teams competing in the CWBL, and the ideal scenario for Gamboa is for four teams to compete from Luzon and Metro Manila, and for four more teams to compete from Visayas and Mindanao.

The CWBL kicks off in early 2016, possibly in January or the first week of February.

Mao kunohay ni second coming sa MBA. Nindot pud ni nga exposure sa kadto wala makuha sa PBA. I'm hoping mas nindot pa sad ni sa PBA kay iyahay na ug teams ang kada major city/town sa kinatibuk-an.

How exciting. What do you think mga peeps?
