As one of the most talented teams in the South, the SocSarGen Marlins were able to reach the quarterfinals in the MBA's inaugural season.
The Marlins were bannered by veteran PBA campaigners Maximo Delantes and Teroy Albarillo.
SocSarGen finished its regular season record with 11 wins as against 11 losses, good for fourth spot in the Southern Conference.
The Marlins' hardworking cager Maximo Delantes figured prominently in the MVP race but couldn't make it to the MBA mythical five due to his team's disastrous stints in each of the playoffs.
Coach Biboy Ravanes was replaced by fellow ex-pro Willie Generalao at the Marlins' bench at the start of the 2000 MBA season.
In the 2021 MPBL Invitational, the team was drawn into Group C, but failed to make the playoff tournament, only getting one win against Muntinlupa.
