TAN Holdings continues to hang on to a top-five spot in the leaderboard of the 2026 Priority Care Inter Business/Government League after securing a commanding 82–61 victory over Docomo Pacific during Tuesday night’s game at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.
Consistency was the key to Tan Holdings’ victory as they established a rhythm that Docomo Pacific struggled to disrupt. Stanislaus Ruman acted as the spark plug, opening the scoring with eight quick points, while the rest of the starting five pitched in to give Tan Holdings a 17–11 lead at the end of the first quarter.
While Docomo Pacific stayed within striking distance, with Shane Deleon Guerrero anchoring much of the offensive effort, their push proved futile as Tan Holdings’ depth continued to wear them down. With contributions from Henry Aguon, Gino Andon, and Angelo Cristobal, Tan Holdings extended the lead to double digits, 38–26, at halftime.
Although Docomo Pacific found its rhythm in the third quarter — producing its highest scoring output of the night behind Donnovan Santos — it still could not solve Tan Holdings defensively. Joseph Magofna and Dindo Pablo led another run to push the contest further out of reach.
Despite Santos and Robert Sanciangco taking over in the final quarter for Docomo Pacific, the deficit proved too steep as Tan Holdings’ bench maintained the momentum to close out the dominant 82–61 win, adding its second victory to the books.
Joining the winner’s circle was Marpac, which secured its sixth straight win with a 93–70 victory over the Feds.
Marpac and Priority Care remain the league’s only unbeaten teams at 6–0.
