The Pasay Voyagers are a Filipino professional basketball team based in Pasay. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's North Division, They are one of three teams based in Metro Manila's Southern District and play their home games at Cuneta Astrodome.

The team began play in the 2018–19 MPBL season. The team has also played in the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3. ^[1]

History

As part of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League's national expansion, the league awarded Pasay with an expansion team for the 2018–19 season. In their inaugural season, despite having eventual all-star Jaypee Belencion, the Voyagers only managed to win eight out of 25 games, tied with Mandaluyong. The team ranked 12th in the North Division. In the 2019–20 season, Pasay acquired Dhon Reverente, who would lead the Voyagers to a 17–13 record and an 8th-place finish, clinching them a playoff spot. In the playoffs, the team would be swept by the defending champion San Juan Knights. Reverente would be declared an all-star and be placed onto the All-MPBL Second Team that season. ^{[2] [3]}

Pasay then opted out of the 2021 Invitational and later the entire 2022 season, but would return in 2023, with both Belencion and Reverente returning to the team. In their returning season, they managed to improve on previous performance. Yet again, they faced another defending champion in the playoffs, this time being the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards. The team was once again swept out of the First Round. ^[4]

Home venues

The Cuneta Astrodome has been the Voyagers' only home venue to date. At 12,000 capacity, it is the highest capacity arena in the entire league.
