Ranbill Angelo V. Tongco (born February 15, 1996) is a collegiate basketball player from the Philippines. He is currently playing for the San Beda Red Lions in the NCAA.

Early life

Ranbill Tongco was born on February 15, 1996. He is the youngest of two siblings and hails from Baesa, Quezon City. Known to many as Radge, he attended grade school at the Notre Dame of Greater Manila and high school at the San Beda College-Rizal.[6] He is currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Marketing Management at the San Beda College.

High school career

Tongco, who was personally recruited by legend coach Edmundo "Ato" Badolato, started playing for the San Beda’s team in the boys' leagues.[7] On his junior year, he joined and played for the San Beda Red Cubs in the NCAA from 2011 up to 2013. In all of those years, Tongco has won the juniors' basketball championship, with two out of the three seasons (87, 89), the Red Cubs swept all 18 elimination round games to qualify outright to the finals with the thrice to beat advantage. In season 88, the Red Cubs lost only one game to the Malayan Red Robins (60–64), ending the elimination round with a 17-1 record. It was also during this season when Tongco lead all scorers with 27 points, in what became the most lopsided juniors game in NCAA history, against the Lyceum Junior Pirates, 171-14.[8][9][10]

College career

Rookie season

Tongco, despite having offers from several schools,[11] stayed with his alma mater and suited up for the Red Lions in 2014.[12] He was part of the San Beda Red Lions team who won the title, San Beda's 5th consecutive, its eighth title in the past nine years and 19th overall men's basketball crown.[13] Even in his rookie year, then-head coach Boyet Fernandez had given much confidence to Tongco, even letting the latter play during crunch time.[14]

Second season

The Red Lions, under new head coach Jamike Jarin,[15] fell short of securing a rare six-peat championship crown, ending as the runners-up in 2015.

Third season

Playing second fiddle to Baser Amer in his first two years in the NCAA, Tongco was more eager to take on a bigger role in the team – as co-captain. A former team captain of the Under-17 Batang Gilas Philippine Team, he shared leadership roles with Dan Sara in this year’s campaign. The 5’10” point guard in his third playing year was expected to orchestrate the offense and provide the spark off the bench. Tongco's main weapons were his quickness, ball-handling skills and off the dribble jumpers.[16] On July 12, Tongco scored his season-high of 22 points against the EAC Generals, filling up the leadership void by replacing Sara, who was out with a hand injury.[17][18] On October 11, the San Beda Red Lions captured their 20th men's basketball championship and ninth crown in eleven years after sweeping the Arellano Chiefs in the finals, 83-73.[19][20]

In 2014, Tongco was part of the Philippines men's national under-19 basketball team that competed in the 23rd FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship which finished 5th with a 5–3 record.[21][22]
