Championship

Presto acquired Arnie Tuadles at the start of the semifinal round of the All-Filipino Conference after a contract dispute with his former team Shell. Tuadles is now on his third stint with the CFC ballclub. The Tivolis' unbeaten streak was halted by Purefoods in their first outing in the semis and they lost their next game to San Miguel for a two-game losing skid. [4] Presto won their next three matches for its 13th win but lost the last three of their semifinal assignments and were forced into a sudden-death playoff for the second finals berth with either San Miguel Beer or Añejo Rum 65 after losing to the Purefoods Hotdogs, 107–116, which nailed the first finals seat on August 12. The Tivolis finally made it to the championship series by nipping San Miguel, 117-115, in a knockout game a week later on August 19.

The best-of-seven finals between Presto Tivolis and Purefoods Hotdogs went into a deciding seventh game, Arnie Tuadles filled in the shoes for the injured Allan Caidic in the winner-take-all Game Seven by scoring 33 points as Presto won by a big margin, 115-96.

Presto Tivolis won their fourth All-Filipino title and sixth crown overall. Coach Jimmy Mariano won his first title while Arnie Tuadles become the first player to win two championships with two different teams in one season.
