The JRU Heavy Bombers (also as José Rizal Heavy Bombers) are the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) basketball team of the Jose Rizal University.
They currently have the longest championship drought in the NCAA with 33 title-less seasons.
The other seniors varsity teams may also be referred to as the Heavy Bombers. The juniors team are the JRU Light Bombers.
The Jose Rizal University got its monicker from the abundance of World War II vintage bombs in their campus. The JRU campus, like many others, was turned into a garrison by the Japanese army. This led to many vintage bombs mined beneath the campus, which led to the heavy bombers monicker. The Seniors (collegiate) team adopted the Heavy Bomber, while the Juniors (high school) team adopted the Amazing Light Bombers.
