History

The Mindoro Tamaraws, backed by 7A Sports and with Justin Tan as the team owner[1] joined the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League making its debut in the 2019–20 season.[2]

In April 2020, actress and Pola, Oriental Mindoro mayor Ina Alegre became co-owner of the team. The Tamaraws were also recognized as the representative team of Oriental Mindoro in the MPBL, and a basketball court in Calapan was built to serve as the team's homecourt.[3][4]

In 2021, a second team dubbed as the Mindoro Tamaraws Disiplinados was formed for the National Basketball League which is meant to a more homegrown-oriented team as opposed to the MPBL team which is intended to be the "showcase team".[5]
