Philippine Basketball Association Most Valuable Player award

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) awards the Most Valuable Player award (MVP) at the end of the season. The winner is selected via votes from the press, players, coaches and top PBA officials.

Note that from 1975 to 2003, PBA seasons have three tournaments (or conferences), so the regular NBA application of having a regular season MVP and a Finals MVP and the meaning of "conference" doesn't apply here. The season MVP is for the whole season, including the regular season, the playoffs and the Finals of each Conference, although there is a Best Player of the Conference award for each conference, and a Best Import award for conferences where imports are allowed play.

Starting at 2004, instead of having a yearlong season (February to December, with a month's break in-between conferences), the season was reformatted so that there would be two conferences (tournaments) from October to June-July. Starting in the 2010-11 PBA season, the season will still be from October to July, but with three conferences.

As of 2016, only Benjie Paras has won the award in his rookie season (1989).
