Emmanuel "Boybits" Victoria (1972/1973 – March 1, 2023) was a Filipino professional basketball player.

Career

Victoria played for the RFM and San Miguel franchise teams when he was plying in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). Prior to entering the PBA, he was a player for the San Beda Red Lions in college.

Swift and Sunkist

Victoria entered the PBA through the 1994 draft where he was selected by the RFM franchise team, then-named the Swift Mighty Meaties (later Sunkist Orange Juicers/Bottlers), as the third overall pick. He helped the team clinch the 1995 All-Filipino and Commissioner's Cup titles.

Due to poor relations with coach Norman Black, Victoria forced the team (now the Pop Cola Bottlers) to trade him to another team.

San Miguel

Victoria was acquired by the San Miguel Beermen in 1998 under coach Jong Uichico, where he fulfilled the role as backup to Olsen Racela. He was part of the team until 2001. During his stay, San Miguel clinched five PBA titles.
