Summary

Assistant coach Adonis Tierra signed a two-year deal to coach the Realtors, taking over from Derek Pumaren, who moved to Purefoods. ^[1] The Realtors placed last in the All-Filipino Cup, losing to Barangay Ginebra Kings in a playoff for the 8th and last seat for the quarterfinals berth.

In the Commissioner's Cup, the Realtors brought in Kwan Johnson as their import along with their direct-hire recruit; Fil-Am Rob Parker. ^[2] The tandem of Johnson and Parker nearly led Sta.Lucia to their first finals appearance, leading in the best-of-five semifinal series against Formula Shell, two games to one, but lost the last two matches.

Prior to the Governor's Cup, a senate hearing was conducted on the ongoing investigation regarding the fake Fil-foreigners playing in the league, the flamboyant Rob Parker, with the possibility of being deported, breached his contract and suddenly left the team unnoticed. The Realtors retain Kwan Johnson as their import but soon replaced him with Joseph Temple, their import from last season. Sta.Lucia lost to 3rd seeded San Miguel Beermen in the quarterfinals.
