History

Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League

In 2017, the Caloocan Supremos joined the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League as one of the ten charter teams for its inaugural season. The team played in the league's inaugural game against the Parañaque Patriots, but lost, 60-70. The team only won one game in their inaugural season, giving them the worst record that season.

In the 2018–19 season, despite finishing with a losing record, Caloocan was tied with the Pampanga Lanterns for the final playoff spot, which Caloocan would clinch because of their victory in the teams' head-to-head matchup. The team was then swept in the First Round by the first-seeded Bataan Risers. In the 2019–20 season, even though the team finished with a winning record, they only finished ninth in the Northern Division.

For the 2021 Invitational, the team changed their name to the Caloocan Excellence. In the following 2022 season, Caloocan would once again fall short, finishing ninth in the Northern Division.

In 2023, the veteran-led Caloocan squad managed to finish with the team's best record thus far, a 20–8 record, and clinched top four in its division for the first time. Despite a massive improvement from the previous season, none of its players were selected for that season's All-Star Game. In the First Round, the team had a tough matchup against Pasig City MCW Sports, but made it through in a close series that went to game 3. Unfortunately, they would go on to be swept by the Pampanga Giant Lanterns in the Division Semifinals.

Pilipinas Super League

In 2022, the team joined the Pilipinas Super League for the 2022–23 DUMPER Cup, and subsequently changed its name to the Batang Kankaloo. Batang Kankaloo would also be used as the name of its under-18 team. The team tied for the fourth-best record alongside the Pampanga G Lanterns and Santa Rosa, but settled for the sixth-seed. In the playoffs, the Batang Kankaloo lost to the Pampanga Royce in the Quarterfinals.

During the 2023–24 MPBL off-season, the team returned to the PSL, this time going by its original name, the Caloocan Supremos.
