BINAN Tatak Gel’s new recruit in Warren Bonifacio quickly made an impression as they devoured Manila Batang Quiapo, 99-62, on Tuesday in the MPBL 2025 Season at the Batangas City Coliseum.
The 6-foot-5 Bonifacio, acquired from the Pasay Voyagers, proved his worth with 19 points, 12 rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two assists in a 16-minute, 53-second stint to earn best player honors and power Binan to its 11th win against 7 losses in the round-robin elimination phase of the 30-team tournament.
Binan led by as many as 81-39 that coach Boyet Fernandez had the luxury of fielding his second stringers, including homegrown actor Ronie Alonte, who delivered with 15 points, including two triples.
Jaymar Gimpayan supported them with 14 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks, and so did Kenny Roger Rocacurva with 12 points.
Manila, which tumbled to 2-16, drew 20 points from Alfred Sedillo and 16 from Achie Inigo.
The MPBL resumes on Thursday at the Cuneta Astrodome with games pitting Gensan against Paranaque at 4 p.m., Davao against Quezon Province at 6 p.m., and Pasay against Muntinlupa at 8 p.m.
