The team is owned by former Quezon City First District Representative Onyx Crisologo, with the support of Niño Dionisio and Conrado Gicanal and the Quezon City government.

History

The Quezon City Capitals and Imus Bandera were the last teams to join the inaugural season of the MPBL. The team was represented by City Councilor Onyx Crisologo during the contract signing with the League headed by Commissioner Kenneth Duremdes.[1]
