The complex is actually the sports field of a defunct school named Saint Martin's Integrated School (Elementary and High School). The school was transferred to First Lady Imelda Marcos during the 70's and the school was reorganized as the University of Life, a vocational school. The actual site was renamed to University of Life TRack and field and Arena (ULTRA) Sports Complex. After Marcos was removed, the University of Life was closed. However the sports facility was transferred to the Philippine Sports Commission in preparation for the 1991 Southeast Asian Games. Several names were applied at the complex. These were The Ultra, PSC-Philippine National Academy of Sports (PSC-PNAS) and PSC Sports Complex. Due to confusion to the public especially in concerts, the commission decided to have a permanent name: PhilSports.
Location: Meralco Avenue, Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
