On September 3, 2025, Pureblends Corporation bought the NorthPort Batang Pier, a franchise owned by Sultan 900 Capital, for ₱90 million. [1] Pureblends Corporation had previously backed teams in the regional Pilipinas Super League as well as in the Vietnam Basketball Association with the Ho Chi Minh City Wings. It is also the title sponsor of Mendiola F.C. in the Philippines Football League. [2] As the acquisition still required approval from the PBA board, [3] [4] the team entered a transition period.
NorthPort still took part in the PBA season 50 draft on September 7, selecting Chris Koon and CJ Austria during the first two rounds of the draft. [5] On September 20, Johnedel Cardel, who previously served as head coach of the Terrafirma Dyip, stepped in as the team's new head coach, replacing Bonnie Tan. [6] [7] The team also acquired free agents Von Pessumal and Aljun Melecio. Notably, Pureblends president Bryann Calantoc was present for Melecio's signing. [8] [9]
On September 25, PBA commissioner Willie Marcial announced that the acquisition was "almost a done deal" and that it could be completed by September 29. [10] [11] On September 30, the franchise sale of NorthPort was reportedly already approved. [12] [13]
On October 1, 2025, the acquisition was formally announced at a press conference with the name unveiled as the Titan Ultra Giant Risers. [14] [15] [16] Pureblends took advantage of its entry in the middle of the PBA's 50th season to market a new product, Titan Ultra despite initial hesitations due to the nature of the supplementary pill brand.
