Purefoods finish third in the eliminations behind Alaska and Formula Shell with eight wins and six losses. In the semifinal round, Purefoods racked up six straight victories to nailed the first finals seat, leaving Alaska and Ginebra, which earn a playoff by winning five games in the semifinals, to dispute the other slot.

The Hotdogs had a chance to force a sixth game when they led by one point, 92-91, with 10.3 seconds to go in the extension period of Game five, but Bong Ravena committed a foul on Alaska's Jeffrey Cariaso with six-tenths of a second remaining, sending him to the free throw line where Cariaso sank the two decisive free throws for the win. {{Main|1996 PBA All-Filipino Cup Finals}}Notable datesFebruary 27: The Hotdogs repulsed a rallying Ginebra, 100-92, for their first win in three games in the All-Filipino Cup in a match that saw tempers flaring between the fans of both teams.

Thompkins finished with 34 points as he outplayed San Miguel counterpart Agee Ward. July 21: Purefoods poured its full might in the fourth quarter to eke out a convincing 88-78 victory over San Miguel Beermen and earn a playoff ticket for the fifth and last semifinal slot in the Commissioners Cup.
