SHS-AdC, in the meantime, posted back-to-back wins after a 3-0 victory over University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) in the other high school match.
Leo Maquiling started the late match rally by SHS-AdC, hitting the opening goal in the 73rd minute. Ray Barro struck in the 87th minute, while Kiann Partosa sealed the match with an 89th minute goal.
DBTC is still at the top with nine points, while SHS-AdC moved up to second place with six points and just ahead of USPF on goal difference.
In the college division, University of the Visayas (UV) shocked reigning titleholder University of San Carlos (USC), 1-0, with an early goal.
UV went ahead in just two minutes of regulation with a goal by Kenneth Vargas.
USJ-R and University of Cebu settled to a 1-1 draw in the other college division match.
