Allan Hernandez led RR& Associates and was joined on the squad by Roger Vales, Donato Besid, Mel Regis, Ron Cal, Mario Batu, Ding Ordones, Romy Gueverra, and Eric Rabang. IT&E 4G LTE, on the other hand, had Ariel Dumapit, Bernard Paraiso, Jorge Soledad, Richard Leong, Ramir De Leon, Jojo and Lynn Santos, and Roland Epan on its roster.
With its hard-earned victory, Patak Patak received the championship trophy and $550 cash. RR & Associates and IT&E 4G LTE also went home with trophies and $300 and $150 cash prizes, respectively, while SBC/J’s Restaurant pocketed the $70 consolation prize.
