LEVI Hernandez scored 32 points, former Arellano teammate Jiovani Jalalon had 10 assists in just 18 minutes, and the Pampanga Foton Tornadoes edged Quezon City-University of the Philippines, 99-94, recently to top the elimination round of the Filsports Basketball Association Unity Games in San Fernando City.
