Summary
Sta.Lucia won just once in the semifinal round of the All-Filipino Cup after finishing with a 6-4 won-loss slate in the eliminations.
In the Commissioner's Cup, the Realtors couldn't search for the right import and came up with Christopher Ward, who was fresh out of college and was range against last year's best import awardee Ronnie Thompkins of Swift in his first and only game, scoring only 12 points in a losing cause. [4] Ward was replaced by Louis Ely, who lasted two games with the Realtors. When Lambert Shell, their import last season who led Sta.Lucia to a third-place finish became available, the Realtors hired him in place of Ely. Lambert Shell was also their import in the Governor's Cup and in both conferences, the Realtors failed to make past the eliminations.
