The Pangasinan Heatwaves[1] are a Filipino professional basketball team based in the province of Pangasinan. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's North Division.[2] They are the lone team based in the Ilocos Region and play their home games at the Calasiao Sports Complex in Calasiao.[3]
History
Background and founding
The province of Pangasinan has previously been involved in professional basketball in the country. For three seasons, the Pangasinan Presidents/Waves took part in the Metropolitan Basketball Association. The province also hosted the 2019 PBA All-Star Weekend, which was held at the Calasiao Sports Complex.[4]
The team was first announced on January 17, 2024, when Alaminos mayor Bryan Celeste posted a tryout for the Pangasinan-based team.[5] On February 7, 2024, the team formally signed as expansion team and was initially named the Pangasinan Heat. They are one of two expansion teams admitted for the MPBL's 2024 season, the otehr being the Abra Weavers.[2] Former Bayambang mayor Cezar Quiambao was named as team owner.[3] Jerson Cabiltes took on the role of head coach for their inaugural season coming off a two-year stint with the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards franchise. Cabiltes' presence also brought in players from the Rice Vanguards, such as Hesed Gabo and Michael Mabulac to go alongside ex-PBA cagers Ed Daquioag and Dennice Villamor.[6]
First season
Their first game was played on April 6, 2024 as part of the season's opening gameday. In their home opener, the Heatwaves lost in an expansion battle against the Abra Weavers.[7][8]
Team identity
According to Quiambao, the name references the province's solar power supply and its aim to become the country's "Solar Capital".[9][3]
