The Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association, known as MICAA, was a sports association in the Philippines. First organized in 1938 for company employees to compete with each other, it evolved into a semi-professional league.[1] It staged various sports across the country and was participated by prominent Filipino companies.
Its basketball tournament became the country's premier basketball league after World War II. In the 1970s, MICAA was tightly controlled by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP). It also came with other controversies, such as the game-fixing and point-shaving scandal in 1973 on which Danilo Florencio, Adriano Papa Jr., Rudolf Kutch, Reynaldo Alcantara, Virgilio Abarrientos, and Ernesto De Leon were given lifetime bans. However, in 1975, nine of its members broke away and a disagreement with then-BAP president Gonzalo “Lito” Puyat led to the defection of the top clubs from the MICAA in March 1975 to form Asia’s first professional cage league, the PBA. MICAA continued to be a farm league until its dissolution in 1981.[2]
From the late 50s to the mid-60s, the YCO Painters and the Ysmael Steel Admirals rivaled each other. YCO Painters is one of the most iconic teams during that era, with the franchise closing in 1982. Other known rivalries include Meralco Reddy Kilowatts and Crispa-Floro Redmanizers.
