March 14: Nelson Asaytono scored his team's last four points as San Miguel toppled Mobiline, 65-64, in a nail-biting duel and accomplished what seven other teams failed to do, giving the Phone Pals their first loss in the season after posting seven straight wins. The Beermen scored their fourth win in seven outings. [1]

The last championship of the 1990s features the two winningest ballclubs in the last 12 years and a match-up of two of the finest imports in recent years, Lamont Strothers and Sean Chambers. The Beermen were gunning for their 13th title and hoping to avenged their two finals losses to Alaska last season. San Miguel trailed 1–2 in the series after losing Games two and three. In a must-win situation, the Beermen won Game four, 76–65 on December 5. Five nights later, the Beermen controlled the game for most of the way and survived a late rally by Alaska to win, 74–68 in Game five. Needed only one more win to clinch their 13th league championship, the Beermen took Game six, 72–69 at the Big Dome on December 12 and won the series, four games to two.
