In the second game, the Muntinlupa Emeralds captured their first win after three tries in Group A with an 84-79 victory over the Pasig El Pirata.

Arnold Danga had 19 points and six rebounds, while Danny Diocampo finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. The two also hit clutch shots to keep their lead in the match.  John Cedrick Abis added 12 points and 14 rebounds for Muntinlupa.
