It’s that time of the Iloilo basketball calendar again.

Who’s ready for the Iloilo City Basketball Club’s second conference of the year?

Will Saiko Ramen and Sushi complete its bid for back-to-back ICBC championships, or will a new team claim the throne?

After a few months of waiting, the ICBC’s second conference of the year is set to take center stage on Aug. 26, 2026, at the Monterosa Subdivision basketball gym in Mandurriao, Iloilo City.

“Thank you for being a part of the ICBC family,” ICBC President Jon Saracanlao said in an exclusive interview with the Daily Guardian.

“Here’s to another exciting season filled with teamwork, respect, and unforgettable moments. See you all on the court!”

Entering its ninth season, the basketball league remains committed to providing an avenue for Ilonggo ballers who simply wish to hoop, have fun, and bond with their fellow competitors on the hardwood.

Thirteen teams have already secured their slots for the second conference, which will feature some of Iloilo’s top players, veterans, and returning teams.

Teams headlining the second conference are Saiko Ramen and Sushi, EVG Commercial OPC, Daedalus Engineering and Industrial Services, Conte Builders, JTY Fish Broker, AMXA, and Game Changer.

Completing the list of participating teams are Red Hammer Construction, Malikhain Sportswear, Medal Sportswear, Pavia Hardware, Bac Fire Industrial Supply, and Kirk Hardware.

The league organizers would like to thank Mesuca Philippines, Gobs Siomai, Calm Wellness Massage and Spa, Family 1st Pharmacy, Clinica Dental De Lallana, Adrings Lechon, Daily Guardian, Fabs Pet Grooming Services, Pavia Hardware, and Drip Trip Water Refilling.

“ICBC would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our teams, players, sponsors, game officials, coaches, and supporters for your continued trust and unwavering support,” Saracanlao added.
