The Parañaque Patriots are a Filipino professional basketball team based in Parañaque. The team currently competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as one of 11 active teams based in Metro Manila. Parañaque is also one of four teams based in the Southern Manila District, playing their home games at Olivarez College Coliseum.

The team is one of the MPBL's charter teams during the league's 2018 season. The team is currently owned by the City Government of Parañaque and its vice mayor Joan Villafuerte.

History

The team were one of the ten charter teams in the MPBL as part of the 2018 season. On January 25, 2018, Parañaque played in the inaugural game against the Caloocan Supremos, where they won, 70-60.[1] Despite finishing the season with a losing record, Parañaque made the playoffs as the seventh seed. They went against the second-seeded Bulacan Kuyas in the Quarterfinals where they would pull off an upset, beating Bulacan in three games. In the Semifinals against the Muntinlupa Cagers, Parañaque won game 1, but fell in the next 2 games to be eliminated.

The team would not perform well in the next two seasons, finishing 9-16 (10th) and 8-22 (14th) in the 2018–19 and 2019–20 seasons, respectively.

The team would then take a hiatus before returning to the league in 2023.
