An explosive doubleheader awaits basketball fans in San Fernando, Pampanga today in the second leg of the McDonald's-PBA Power Tour at the Pampanga Sports Complex.

Mobiline and Sta. Lucia Realty, tied at 2-1 and fresh from inspiring victories, tangle in the 4:15 p.m. curtainraiser, both hoping to move up the All-Filipino Cup leaderboard. San Miguel Beer then takes on Formula Shell at 6:30 p.m.

Powered by the troika of No. 1 draft pick Andy Seigle, Glenn Capacio and Lowell Briones, the Cellulars scored impressive wins over Pure Foods and Shell after a heartbreaking opening day setback to Alaska Milk. But Sta. Lucia Realty is deadset on putting a halt to Mobiline's spree. Aside from his Twin Tower combination of Jun Limpot and Dennis Espino, coach Chot Reyes can bank on Jose Francisco, Gerald Esplana and rookie Jason Webb, the hero in the Realtors' victory over the Beermen Tuesday.

For their part, San Miguel and Shell hope to get back on the winning track after separate defeats. Though undermanned, the Beermen have been responding well under the baton of head coach Ron Jacobs and the hardcourt leadership of Nelson Asaytono. The Zoom Masters, on the other hand, will rely on Benjie Paras, Ronnie Magsanoc and Victor Pablo in their efforts to even their slate.

A joint project of the PBA and Engr. Dong Gonzales, the second leg of the McDonald's - PBA Power Tour is a fund-raising activity for the benefit of the Gov. Lito Lapid Scholarship Foundation, the Bren Guiao Scholarship Foundation and the Anao Parish church in Mexico, Pampanga, hometown of Gonzales.
