Philippine Badminton Association (PBAD)
The badminton federation in the Philippines
The Philippine Badminton Association (PBAD) is the national governing body for badminton in the Philippines. Its predecessor, the PBA, became the country's first national badminton group in 1952, and PBAD is now recognised by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC), the Badminton World Federation and Badminton Asia. It runs a national rankings system (in partnership with Tournament Software), a tournament calendar and sanctioning process for local organisers, and a BWF-certified coach programme; day-to-day leadership is led by a Chairman, President, Vice President, General Manager, Treasurer and Secretary.
