It was originally formed in 1998 as the women's counterpart to the Philippine Basketball League. The league went on hiatus from 2000 until it was revived in 2008.[2][3][4] The league was revived by Mikee Romero.[5]
However, the league quickly folded after that season.[1]
The league, at least for the 2008 season, was sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the country's national basketball federation.[5]
Ever Bilena team of Dioceldo Sy dominated the league, winning all three seasons.[6][7]
