The Philippines Women's national basketball team, known as Perlas Pilipinas (Philippine Pearls), represents the country in international women's basketball under the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas. Based in Manila, the team plays its home games at venues like the Mall of Asia Arena. The team's colors are blue, red, white, and yellow. The program was revitalized in the early 2000s to bring competitiveness to Southeast Asian women's basketball. The name "Perlas" symbolizes the value and strength of the Filipino female athlete. A key era saw the team dominate the SEA Games, winning multiple gold medals and establishing regional supremacy. The modern team has taken on greater challenges, competing in the FIBA Women's Asia Cup against giants like Australia and Japan, where they are known for their relentless hustle and three-point shooting. Recent seasons have focused on building a professional pathway for players, with several now competing abroad. The team culture is one of heart and patriotism, embodying the Filipino fighting spirit, and they enjoy growing support from a nation passionate about basketball. Perlas Pilipinas is the standard-bearer for women's hoops in the Philippines, inspiring a new generation.
