Triple-V Foodmasters (3): 1991 Challenge Cup 1991-1992 Philippine Cup 1992 Invitational Cup |
The Triple-V Foodmasters is a former Philippine Basketball League (PBL) team that lasted two years in the premier amateur league from 1991-1992, playing in four finals stints out of five conferences and winning three championships.
After a strong finish in their very first conference, finishing into the top four, behind champion Crispa 400 and runner-up Mama's Love, the Triple-V Foodmasters won their first PBL title in only their second participated tournament in the import-flavored Challenge Cup, defeating defending champion Crispa 400, 3 games to 1.
The Foodmasters repeated as back-to-back champions the following year as they overcame a tough challenge by Sta. Lucia Realtors in winning the Philippine Cup title in a five-game series. They lost to the same Realtors in the championship via sweep in the following conference.
In the last offering of the 1992 PBL season called the Invitational Cup, Triple-V drafted three players from the disbanded Crispa White Cement squad, they are Johnny Abarrientos, Felix Duhig and Freddie Abuda, and they took in Michael Mustre from A & W Hamburgers, which also sought a leave of absence from the league. Triple-V won their third title in the last four conferences and scored a similar 3-0 sweep and exact revenge over championship rival Sta.Lucia Realtors.
