Defending champion Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) dominated Philippine International Trading Corporation right from the start and romped to a 90-70 win in the opening of the 8th UNTV Cup on Monday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Working behind the smart plays of former national team member Eugene Tan, the defending champion AFP Cavaliers started ferociously and raced to a commanding 33-8 lead at the end of the first quarter and never looked back.
Jerry Lumongsod scored 16 points for the Cavaliers, who donated the P4 million top prize they won last year to AFP Educational Benefits System Office as an added fund for the education of the children of their fallen comrades.
Also stepping up for the Cavaliers were Willy Casulla and Dave Cordero who chipped in 15 and 12 points in the Sunday-only tournament organized by UNTV through its CEO and President Dr. Daniel Razon.
