The Community Basketball Association (CBA – Pilipinas / CBA – Philippines) was a regional-based grassroots basketball tournament based in the Philippines. Founded in June 2018, the league aimed to become an avenue to scout and expose young basketball players from various places across the country.[1] The league was founded by former actor and model-turned-director and basketball enthusiast Carlo Maceda.[2]
