PRIORITY Care collected its second straight win in the 2026 Priority Care Inter Business/Government League on Monday after keeping CPA grounded with a 92-52 victory at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.
It was a one-sided affair from the opening tip. Priority Care established dominance early with a strong defensive presence, holding CPA to just six points in the opening quarter, while Steve King, Airson Atan, and Marvin Rabauliman took over on the offensive end to push a comfortable 25-6 lead.
For CPA, it was a night of missed opportunities and uphill battles. Despite flashes of grit in the second quarter led by Dave Camacho and Roy Norita Jr., they were unable to sustain the defensive stops needed to chip away at the deficit and slipped back into a scoring drought in the third quarter.
Priority Care continued its relentless attack, characterized by sharp ball movement and high-percentage finishes, with Donavan Pelisamen joining the fray alongside King to further stretch the gap.
While the scoring was a total team effort, the depth of the Priority Care roster proved too much for the CPA defense to handle. Contributions from Matthew Duenas, Bryce Maratita, and Sylvan Reyes helped close out the game, as Priority Care finished strong in the final quarter to seal the 92-52 victory.
Marpac vs Docomo
In the first game of the night, Marpac delivered another dominant performance, outscoring Docomo, 102-60.
Marpac controlled the opening quarter, holding Docomo to just five points while Chioni Dela Cruz and Coby Santos went to work with 16 and nine points, respectively, to build a commanding 33-5 advantage. Docomo showed more fight in the second half, but with only Shane Deleon Guerrero and Anthony Diaz able to find the bottom of the net, they could not cut into the deficit and eventually fell to Marpac, 102-60.
