The game between the ARQ Builders-Lapu Lapu City Heroes and the Siquijor Mystics was stopped at the half with Lapu Lapu leading, 27–13, ostensibly due to a power interruption. However, it was reported afterward that the game was stopped by officials after suspicious actions by the players—including missed free throws and blown layups. One video circulating online showed a player take a free throw first with his left hand, then with his right. Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup organizers expelled the Siquijor Mystics from the league. Fines and suspensions were also slapped against players and coaches of the Lapu-Lapu Heroes for their role in the controversial match.
