Historical evidence may suggest that the plaza is the site where the wooden palisade of Rajah Sulayman, on top of which Fort Santiago was built, was located, and was deliberately allocated by Miguel López de Legazpi as the smaller of two open squares in Intramuros, the other being the larger Plaza Mayor (today's Plaza de Roma). Military barracks and storehouses surrounded the plaza, the ruins of which stand today. Currently, the plaza is an open green area surrounded by trees. At the western side of the plaza is the Rizal

Traditionally the league had a two divisional structure (Divisions One and Two) between which clubs were promoted and relegated at the end of each season.

This system came into force for the 1975–76 season. This setup continued until the 1994–95 season, when a four divisional structure was
