The dominant win delivered Marinerong Pilipino’s fifth straight victory and pushed its record to 6-2, keeping it in fight for the top two spots, but coach Koy Banal continued to preach to his wards to stay the course.

“We haven’t achieved anything yet. It’s always a reminder to all of us and we know where we want to go: we want to go forward,” he said.
