Summary

The 800s were five wins and three losses after the first round of eliminations in the All-Filipino Cup. Pop Cola lost four straight games at the start of the second round and finish with an overall 7-9 won-loss slate. Seeded at sixth in the quarterfinals and needed to win twice in order to advance in the semifinal playoffs, Pop Cola lost to Tanduay, 77-91.

Pop Cola's original choice for an import, Fil-American Joe Hooks was replaced and never got a chance to play in the Commissioner's Cup. The 800s bring in Galen Robinson, who lasted three games and failed to give Pop Cola a victory and his replacement was Jevon Crudup. Winless in four starts with Vergel Meneses moving to Barangay Ginebra in a trade with Noli Locsin, Pop Cola finally scored their first win against Shell on July 18 in a low-scoring contest, 54-52. Crudup also lasted three games and was sent home in favor of Tremaine Fowlkes in the 800s' last two assignments in the eliminations which they lost.

Coach Norman Black's woes continues in the Governors Cup as Pop Cola failed to win a single game in all their eight matches in the eliminations. The RFM ballclub had their worst season since their first year in 1990 as an expansion franchise.
