Notes:

  • The original Magnolia franchise disbanded after the 1995-96 season. The second incarnation of Magnolia thru Viva Mineral Water, which joined the league in 2003, won two championships under coach Koy Banal. Their title victory in 2004 was referred as "first". [1]
  • For some reason, the Otto Shoes ballclub's roots was traced to Sta.Lucia, [2] but the Realtors was considered a different team from the ESQ Merchants, whom they completely took over at the start of the 1987 PABL season.
  • Ateneo-Hapee's title victory was not counted to that of Hapee Toothpaste' three championships.
