Host team in boldface.

Tiebreaker: PCU defeated Letran on the playoff for the 2nd seed, 67-62

NBI agents were present in the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, monitoring the basketball games. Rumours still persist that there were still efforts of game fixing in the games. The suspects "resurfaced" during the first round game between the Blazers and the Heavy Bombers, the day where the agents were supposedly absent.^[1]
