Popular Culture

 * During their time as the Petron Blaze Boosters, drama surrounded the team's players and coaches and were not able to win a title despite having a solid lineup. As a result, the team's fans gave all the surrounding drama the monicker Petronovela.
 * Ever since head coach Leo Austria took the helm, his style has been known for playing his starters heavy minutes, rarely putting in bench players/rookies, and normally uses an 8 player rotation, which has been a subject of social media jokes.
 * However, because of the team's recent success with the 8 man system (nearly winning the Grand Slam in the 2016-17 Season), the starters have been extremely successful in the individual award races, having the entire starting unit in the Top 10 MVP candidates, "SMB's Starting Five" has been an social media slang referring to extreme success.
