The TNT Tropang Giga is a professional basketball team currently owned by Smart Communications, a subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), playing in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) since 1990.
The franchise began in 1990 when Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) acquired a PBA franchise. Under PCPPI, the franchise played under the names Pepsi and 7 Up. In 1996, the franchise came under the control of Pilipino Telephone Corporation (Piltel) and played under the name Mobiline. In 2001, the franchise was renamed Talk 'N Text after the operations of Piltel was absorbed by Smart Communications.
The team is currently one of three PBA teams under the control of businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan – the others are the Meralco Bolts and NLEX Road Warriors. To date, the franchise has won nine official PBA titles (and one special PBA tournament championship), it also remains as one of the league's powerhouses and it is one of the oldest teams in PBA.
The team's name, Tropang Giga, is a combination of two Filipino words: "tropa," which means group of friends, and "giga," which means giant. This name reflects the team's camaraderie and their determination to be a dominant force in the league.
TNT Tropang Giga is known for their fast-paced and aggressive style of play, with a focus on defense and quick transitions. The team's roster is composed of talented and experienced players, including Jayson Castro, Troy Rosario, and Roger Pogoy, among others.
Off the court, TNT Tropang Giga is also involved in various community outreach programs, promoting sports and education among the youth. The team's loyal fan base, known as the "KaTropa," is known for their unwavering support and passion for the team.
