Paul Bismarck Tabinas (ja|タビナス・ポール・ビスマルク; born 5 July 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a right back for Croatian Prva NL club Vukovar 1991. Born in Japan, he plays for the Philippines national team.
Tabinas scored his first goal for Iwate Grulla Morioka in a 13–0 Emperor's Cup win over Oyama SC.[1]
As his parents are a Ghanaian father and a Filipino mother,[2] Tabinas is eligible to represent Ghana or the Philippines at international level. Despite being born in Japan, he is not eligible to represent the Japanese international team due to Japanese local rule.
In December 2022, he made his debut for the Philippines in a 1–0 friendly defeat against Vietnam.
He is the younger brother of fellow professional footballer Jefferson Tabinas.[3]
