Pasay Voyagers Cruise Past Batang Quiapo for Fifth Consecutive Win

The Pasay Voyagers showcased their depth in a commanding 126-82 victory over Manila Batang Quiapo on Wednesday at the Ynares Center in Montalban, Rizal, during the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) 2026 Season.

All 15 Voyagers players saw action and contributed to the scoreboard, propelling Pasay to their fifth straight win and improving their record to 6-2 in the round-robin phase of the 28-team, two-division tournament.

Christian Fajarito led the charge with 16 points, three rebounds, and two assists, earning Best Player of the Game honors over Cyril Gonzales, who tallied 17 points and two rebounds. Other standout performers included Steve Nash Enriquez with 15 points and five rebounds, Gyle Montano adding 14 points and six boards, and homegrown Nico Quinal contributing 11 points, three rebounds, and three steals.

The Voyagers dominated the glass, 45-36, and translated their advantage into 74 points in the paint compared to Manila’s 50. Pasay also excelled from beyond the arc, hitting 12 three-pointers—led by Enriquez’s three-of-four shooting—while Manila managed only two. The loss extended Batang Quiapo’s skid to five games, leaving them at 1-7.

Pasay set the tone early, opening a 68-35 halftime lead behind Gonzales’ 13 first-half points, and never relinquished control. Fajarito delivered a highlight-reel moment with back-to-back one-handed dunks, pushing the Voyagers ahead 85-39 with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter.
