Rookie Jhomel Ancheta was also among those who stood out after putting up nine markers, two boards, and an assist.</p><p>Tiu commented on how different players have been stepping up in their perfect start so far and pointed out how this can be considered one of their major weapons moving forward. </p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s one of our goals, and that&#x27;s something that we&#x27;ve talked about throughout the off-season — everybody somebody&#x27;s gonna step up for us. Marami kaming makukunan every game. We have to sacrifice din because we have to find minutes for everybody,&quot; said Tiu.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s very positive din na we have a lot of options. Last year, everybody that it would be Miggy Corteza, Will Gozum, Robi Nayve, or Migs Oczon. Ngayon, any game may iba,&quot; he furthered, while also singling out how Sanchez was the star today.</p><div><span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);min-height:13.8px"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1726648218233viber_image_2024-09-18_16-28-20-608.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="CSB’s Justine Sanchez.
