The Quezon City Toda Aksyon (stylized as Quezon City TODA Aksyon) is a Filipino professional basketball team based in Quezon City. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's North Division. They are one of three teams based in Metro Manila's Eastern District and play their home games at Amoranto Arena.

The team began play in the 2018 season, going by the Quezon City Capitals. The original name references Quezon City's status as the national capital of the Philippines from 1949 until 1976. It may also reference Quezon City being the biggest and most populous city in Metro Manila.

Since 2023, the team is backed by the Toda Aksyon Partylist.

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] During the team's inaugural season, Andrew Estrella recorded the league's first triple-double against the Bataan Defenders. The team finished with a 5–4 to clinch the fifth seed in the playoffs, where the Capitals would lose 1–2 to the Valenzuela Classic.

In the 2018–19 season, the team fell one game below .500 with a 12–13 record. Despite that, the team still ranked seventh in the regular season, earning them a playoff berth. The team would pull off a major upset as they swept the second-seeded Makati Super Crunch, before falling to the eventual champion San Juan Knights. In the 2019–20 season, the Capitals didn't perform well compared to the previous two seasons and finished 10–20, finishing 12th in the North and failed to make the playoffs for the first time.

Entering the 2022 season, the team acquired a title sponsorship with MG Motor and became Quezon City MG. Although the team finished 9–12, they still ranked seventh to advance to the playoffs, losing to Pasig City MCW Sports.^[2] The team then found a new title sponsor in Gaz N Go entering the 2023 season, becoming Quezon City Gaz N Go. Mid-season, the team underwent new management as it has gained the backing of the Toda Aksyon Partylist, thus renaming the team Quezon City Toda Aksyon.

Home venues

The Quezon City franchise has played in three home venues thus far, all of them are on-campus venues. Their first home venue in the 2018 season was the Seed Dome at JCSGO Christian Academy. The other two, introduced in the 2018–19 season, were Ateneo de Manila University's Blue Eagle Gym and Trinity University of Asia's Henry Noble Gymnasium.

After not being able to play at home in 2022 and 2023, the team will play at Amoranto Arena in the 2024 season. It will be the first venue that isn't on-campus.
