Sinag Pilipinas represents the country in regional competitions such as the Southeast Asian Games and SEABA Championship. Smart Communications is the main sponsor of both programs. Gilas is a Filipino word that loosely translates into English as "prowess", and sinag translates as "ray" (sunlight). The name Gilas was adopted from the mascot of the 2005 Southeast Asian Games held in Manila, Philippines which is an eagle. The mascot was designed by Filipino sports journalist Danny Simon. In 2013, the Smart brand was dropped from the branding of both programs, although Smart Communications remained as the main sponsor.

The squad was standing in for the Chot Reyes-led roster which had many of its players as well as Reyes himself suspended due to their involvement in the Philippines-Australia brawl. Gilas Pilipinas continued to be used to refer to the men's national team.
