| Zamboanga del Sur National High School, 2019 NBTC League Nationals qualifier |
Surviving their respective regionals are Southern Philippine Colleges of Cagayan de Oro, St. Mary's College of Tagum, Holy Trinity College of General Santos, and Zamboana del Sur National High School of Pagadian. The former two have been given an automatic seeding slot (SPC as 19th seed and SMC as 20th seed), while the latter two will play in the opening seeding round.
SPC, led by 6'2 swingman Jericho Montecalvo, is the most notable of the bunch, as they managed to take down former NBTC Div II champions Assumption Montessori in their road to the National Finals.
In addition, HTC has had experience playing in Manila thanks to their brief stint in the Filoil Flying V Preseason Tournament earlier this decade.
Taking place from March 18-24 at the Mall of Asia Arena, the Chooks-to-Go NBTC National Finals presented by SM is also sponsored by Darlington-Exped Socks, EPSON, Huawei, Freego, Purefoods, Gatorade, Go for Gold, and Molten. It is also presented by ESPN5 and Lighthouse Events.
The games will be streamed LIVE via ESPN5's social media footprint, with the semifinals, finals, and All-Star Game getting the televised treatment.
