Philippine National Badminton Open

For the defunct international open tournament, see Philippine Open (badminton).

The Philippine National Badminton Open is the domestic open badminton tournament of the Philippines organized by the Philippine Badminton Association (PBAD).

The PBA has sanctioned two "National Opens" in the 2010s, the Bingo Bonanza National Open and the Smart National Badminton Open. Bingo Bonanza was last held in 2016 while Smart was last conducted in 2019 after which no tournament was held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Philippine National Badminton Open was revived in 2023 under a non-corporate title.

Background

The Philippine Badminton Association (PBAD) is the national sports association or governing body for badminton in the Philippines. ^[1]

A similarly named tournament, known as the Yonex-Sunrise Philippine National Badminton Open was held from 2004 to 2011. ^{[2] [3]} The PBAD has issued a statement that it never sanctioned this tournament. ^[4]

The PBAD, however has sanctioned the conduct of various tournaments as the "National Open". This includes the Bingo Bonanza National Open of AB Leisure Exponent Inc. and the Smart National Open Badminton Tournament of Smart Communications both of which were started in 2014. ^{[5] [6] [7]} The last Bingo Bonanza Open was held in 2016.

Meanwhile the Smart Open was held until 2019. ^[8]

The COVID-19 pandemic stopped the conduct of the Smart Open. After three years tournament was revived as the Philippine Badminton Open (PBO). Smart remains among the tournament's various corporate sponsors. The tournament has been held annually since 2023. ^{[9] [10] [11]}
