Held at the Capiz Gym, eight teams – four for each division – battled against each other, representing their schools and provinces from across the region.

On the battle for the 3rd place, Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion of Roxas easily defeated Hua Siong College of Iloilo, 52-48.
During the Passerelle division, UV only settled 2nd place on their match against Bacolod Tay Tung High School, 56-52. St. Robert’s International Academy of Iloilo came in 3rd after winning against Hercor College High School of Roxas, 72-63.
UV also received the Sportsmanship award in the Passerelle division, along with Hua Siong College Iloilo for the SBP division, after showcasing fair play not only among players but also among the coaches and parents who attended the tournament.
The regional champions will represent Visayas in the upcoming 31st season of the SBP-Passerelle Twin Tournament national finals to be held in Bacolod City on December 3-4, 2016.
