The Biñan Tatak Gel delivered a commanding performance on July 27, 2026, dismantling the Valenzuela Classic 102–74 in a Philippines MPBL matchup at the Binan Football Stadium. The victory extended Biñan’s strong home record and showcased their offensive firepower from the opening tip to the final buzzer.

Match Overview

From the outset, Biñan Tatak Gel controlled the tempo, racing to a 28–16 lead after the first quarter. Their transition offense and aggressive rebounding created numerous second-chance opportunities, and by halftime the lead had ballooned to 54–33. Valenzuela struggled to contain Biñan’s pick-and-roll schemes and could not generate consistent offense against a disciplined Biñan defense.

The third quarter saw no let-up from the home side. Biñan extended the margin to 78–50, effectively sealing the contest before the final period. Valenzuela’s attempts at a rally were short-lived, as Biñan’s bench depth maintained the intensity, ultimately securing a 28-point victory.

Key Performers

• Biñan Tatak Gel: Guard Jerald Bautista led all scorers with 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting, adding 6 assists and 4 steals. Forward Mark Santos contributed a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, while Renz Palma chipped in 16 points off the bench.
• Valenzuela Classic: Jomari Gajero paced the visitors with 19 points, but no other Valenzuela player reached double figures. The team shot just 38% from the field and turned the ball over 18 times.

Tactical Story

Biñan’s success stemmed from their ability to push the pace and exploit mismatches in the half-court. They outrebounded Valenzuela 48–32 and scored 32 points in the paint compared to Valenzuela’s 18. The Classic’s zone defense was repeatedly broken by Biñan’s crisp ball movement, resulting in 26 assists.

Defensively, Biñan forced Valenzuela into difficult perimeter shots and limited them to 5-of-23 from three-point range. The Classic’s lack of interior presence allowed Biñan’s big men to dominate the glass and convert putbacks with ease.

Season Impact

The victory improved Biñan Tatak Gel’s record to 12–4, keeping them firmly in contention for the top playoff seeds in the MPBL South Division. Valenzuela dropped to 6–10, their playoff hopes now hanging by a thread. Biñan will look to maintain momentum when they face the Bacoor City Strikers next week, while Valenzuela must regroup quickly to stay in the hunt.
