NBL-Pilipinas executive vice president Rhose Montreal said that the move to add the players was to fulfill the league's goal of uplifting women in the sport.
"The WNBL is their league that is why if we want women empowerment, we must walk our talk," said Montreal.
Along with the players, other members of the committee include Montreal, Vice PResident for Basketball Operations Edward Aquino, Ambassador Kiefer Ravena, 3x3 commissioner Haydee Ong, deputy commissioner Armando Guevarra, and Girls Got Game founder Krizanne Ty.
The executive committee is set to oversee the Safeguarding, Disciplinary, Grievance, Scretariat, Ways and Means, and Technical committees of the league.
In its first-ever pro season, the WNBL is looking to hold not only 5-on-5 tournaments, but also 3x3 and 1v1.
League and team owners are set to meet early next week to discuss the final details of the season.
