Men's collegiate basketball in particular, and intercollegiate athletics in general is fragmented in the Philippines.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) and University Athletic Association of the Philippines are the leagues that receive the most attention, owing to their national television coverage, and also since all of their schools are from Metro Manila.

Notes[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Co-champions
- ↑ Suspended by the NCAA due to hooliganism and proliferation of ineligible players.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Seniors championships awarded on the 1963-64 and 1964-65 seasons were later ruled as unofficial by the NCAA.
- ↑ Tournament aborted by the Basketball Association of the Philippines after a second-round game riot between La Salle and Letran.
- ↑ With La Salle having the twice-to-beat advantage, they won the championship in Game 1. However, it was revealed that a La Salle player that was disqualified played in the final seconds of the game. FEU protested the game and the UAAP granted the protest. La Salle did not show up in the replay and forfeited the championship series, despite the Basketball Association of the Philippines supporting La Salle.
- ↑ De La Salle admitted to have unknowingly fielded two ineligible players for the last 3 years (from 2003-2005) and forfeited the 2004-05 championship by returning it to the UAAP board. As a result,
- FEU was awarded the men's basketball championship for the 2004-2005 season on November 21, 2006.[1]
- De La Salle was suspended in the 2006-07 season, on all UAAP events.
