2009 Philippines men's FIBA Asia Championship team, also known as Powerade-Team Pilipinas was the basketball team that represented the Philippines in international competitions from 2008 to 2009. The team was organized by the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) sponsored by Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines. The team succeeded San Miguel-Team Pilipinas.

After Yeng Guiao's appointed as head coach of the new Philippine team (Team Pilipinas), he started to form a national team for the 2009 SEABA Championship, selecting Asi Taulava, Kerby Raymundo, Mick Pennisi, Gabe Norwood, Jayjay Helterbrand, James Yap, Cyrus Baguio, Ryan Reyes, Willie Miller, Jared Dillinger, Ranidel de Ocampo at Arwind Santos. Sonny Thoss and Kelly Williams are both assigned to be reserves due to medical issues.^[1]

In the 2009 FIBA Asia Championship,^[2] some players like de Ocampo, and Ryan Reyes were replaced by Japeth Aguilar, and Thoss. In the tournament, they only lost to South Korea in the first round, and won the majority of games in the second round. But they lost to Jordan in the quarterfinals and relegated to classification round, losing to Qatar and South Korea.^[3]
