The Batangas City Tanduay Rum Masters are a professional basketball team based in Batangas City, Batangas. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's South Division. They are one of five active teams based in the Calabarzon region and play their home games at Batangas City Sports Coliseum.
The team joined in 2018 as one of the founding teams of the MPBL, backed by Tanduay Distillers as part of the beverage company's athletics program, having previously owned a team in the Philippine Basketball Association. The team first went by the Batangas City Athletics before changing to Batangas City Embassy Chill in 2022 to promote one of Tanduay's own products. The team later changed its name to the Tanduay Rum Masters in 2024. The Batangas City franchise has also played in FilBasket.
One of the most successful teams in the MPBL, Batangas City won the inaugural championship in 2018 and has made three Division Finals appearances. They currently have the second-highest all-time regular season winning percentage among active teams at .717, only behind the San Juan Knights. To date, they are the only MPBL team to make a playoff appearance in every season of the league's existence.
