Visayas. That season saw Cebu make the playoffs despite having a losing record, they eventually lost to the
Davao Occidental Tigers. In the 2019–20 season, the team finished ninth, one game behind the eighth-place team in the South Division, the
Bicol Volcanoes. The Cebu franchise also had an all-star selection in each of its first two seasons: Patrick Cabahug in
2019 and
Will McAloney in
2020.
2025–present: Second stint The Cebu franchise was mentioned as among the teams that were set to return for the league's
2023 season, however its return did not materialize for unknown reasons. Two years later in 2025, another attempt at Cebu's return to the MPBL was first reported by journalist
Snow Badua, stating from his source that the franchise was bought by new management and that it is "finalizing details” for its revival. The revival will be managed by Voltaire Ora, who was previously the team manager of the
Valenzuela Classic. Among the players joining the revived team are
Paulo Hubalde and
