History

The Bulacan Kuyas are among the ten charter teams featured in the inaugural season of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League. They were also the champions of the pre-season tournament the league held prior to the season. Throughout the 2018 season, the team played their home games at the Bulacan Capitol Gymansium in Malolos. The team inked a partnership with the Ligo Sardines for the 2018 season.

In their first season, Bulacan were one of three teams with a 6-3 record and claimed the second seed with a tiebreaker on point differential. The team, however, would fall in an upset against the Panañaque Patriots in the Quarterfinals.

Entering the 2018–19 season, the team signed a deal with Mighty Sports to become the team's new major sponsor. The team once again made the playoffs, but once again lost in the First Round to the Manila Stars. Then in the 2019–20 season, they made the playoffs for the third straight season, but lost to the Makati Super Crunch.

After competing in the 2021 Invitational, the team opted out of the 2022 season. The team would make a return in 2023. After starting the season 6–4, the team went on to win only one out of their remaining 18 games to finish the season 7–21, by far the team's worst season.
