Gensan Warriors defeated Bulacan Kuyas 82:102 in the MPBL on 21 September 2026. The visitors, sitting fourth in the standings, moved away from a narrow defeat against Batangas City three days earlier. Bulacan Kuyas, twelfth with four wins from sixteen games, suffered another loss to extend their difficult run.
To be fair, the gulf in the table was visible from the opening minutes. Gensan had won fifteen of eighteen matches, while Bulacan had collected just four victories. The result did not surprise, though the margin suggested the visitors found their rhythm more quickly than expected.
Bulacan's recent form had shown flashes of competitiveness. They had beaten Marikala Verdaimonds 84:77 on 18 September, only to follow it with a heavy 67:120 defeat to San Juan Knights. Gensan, meanwhile, had lost to Batangas City 73:76 before returning to winning ways against Sargani Marlinors 108:89.
By then, the visitors had built enough momentum to control the game. They had not lost since their defeat to Batangas City on 18 September, winning four consecutive matches against Bataan Rizors, Quezon Huskers, and Sargani Marlinors. Bulacan's last win had come a week before the match against Marikala Verdaimonds.
The result leaves Bulacan Kuyas twelfth with twelve defeats from sixteen games. Gensan Warriors remain fourth, three points clear of any team challenging for the top positions. The gap between the two sides in the standings widened further after this encounter.
