Pampanga Giant Lanterns seasons

The Giant Lanterns' first game in San Fernando was a win against Manila on May 24. From July 22 until September 19, Pampanga earned eight consecutive wins as the team finished 14–7 in a three-way tie for the second seed in the North Division. By tiebreaker criteria, Pampanga settled the fourth seed, the same seed they were in previously. After a tight three-game series against the Bataan Risers, Pampanga would fall to the eventual champion Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards in a sweep.[1][2]

The team played all of their home games at Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center.
