Five local teams make it to the semifinal round beginning on November 28. The semifinalists' won-loss records in the eliminations will not be carried over and they will start from scratch in order to accommodate guest entry Atlanta Fil-Am, a bunch of Fil-Am cagers from the States led by the returning Eddie Joe Chavez, who played for the Philippine team under coach Ron Jacobs in the 1981 Jones Cup, [3] and among others, Jeffrey Cariaso from Sonoma State and Frank McKinney from University of Hawaii. Four local players beefed up the Atlanta squad coached by disc jockey Bobby Ante.

Triple-V advances in the finals first by beating Sta.Lucia, 73-71, on the last playing date of the semifinal round on December 12, forcing the Realtors in a playoff with Casino Rubbing Alcohol. [4] The Realtors prevailed over the Alcohol Distillers, 63-51, in their knockout game two days later. [5]

For the third time in a year, Triple-V and Sta.Lucia will battle for the PBL championship. The Foodmasters, which acquired Johnny Abarrientos from the disbanded Crispa at the start of the conference, got back over the Realtors via 3-0 sweep in the Invitational Cup finals. [6]
