    First is the PLC Clubs tournament, which aims to bring back the element of having the defunct Philippine Basketball League level commercial league that will be a preparatory league for age group and collegiate level players.

    “This tournament will prepare players before they enter the professional ranks either here in the country or outside. We don’t have this kind of league ever since the PBL closed shop,” said Pinoyliga chief Benny Benitez.

    “It can also serves as a second chance opportunity for pros who still has it in them, that they can showcase they still can contribute.”

    Currently the confirmed teams for the PLC Club meet are Kick-Start Brew Crew, Shoe Crew, Firewire, Bridgestone, Boracay de Laiya, True Boss and Exile.

    “Lets work to slowly bring the club level to when there was a PBL,” said Benitez.
