The Powerade Tigers was a professional basketball team of the Philippine Basketball Association founded in 2002 when the then-San Miguel Corporation-owned Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines bought the RFM-owned Cosmos Bottling Corporation. In 2006, the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Company under the Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. bought the franchise from SMC and has since owned the team. From its first season until 2010, the team was dubbed as the Coca Cola Tigers before changing to Powerade Tigers.
The team won two PBA championships while under the San Miguel Corporation; first in 2002, then in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word tigers:
“The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
