‘Glue guy’ Sabete does-it-all in return to Petro Gazz


Tasked to be the team’s ‘glue guy,’ Jonah Sabete made sure to deliver in Petro Gazz’s semis-clinching win over F2 Logistics on Tuesday night.

The former Sta. Lucia hitter, who returned to the same team that she helped win the 2019 PVL Reinforced Conference title, scored 18 big points — all of which came from attacks — in the Angels’ 25-14, 22-25, 25-20, 25-19 win over the Cargo Movers in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Open Conference.

“Si Jonah yung ano ko e, siya yung glue guy ko,” said Petro Gazz head coach Jerry Yee. “Siya yung pang plug ko sa lahat ng kailangan ko. If kailangan ko ng blocking, kailangan ko ng receive, kailangan ko ng opensa.

“Sa susunod mahal na ‘to si Jonah e kaya sinusulit na namin. Joke lang,” quipped Yee.

On her part, Sabete is just happy to repay the unwavering trust that the management and coaching staff gave her.2022-PVL-PetroGazz-vs-F2-Logistics-Jonah-Sabete-Cienne-Cruz-Djanel-Cheng-Bang-Pineda-MJ-Phillips-Seth-Rodriguez-Remy-Palma 'Glue guy' Sabete does-it-all in return to Petro Gazz News PVL Volleyball  - philippine sports news

“Sobrang happy po kasi yung tiwala po ng coaches samin like sa bawat isa naman andiyan talaga,” said the 28-year-old Sabete.

“‘Pag once na ilalagay ka dapat talaga gumawa ka, yun yung pinagkukunan ko… yung tiwala ng mga coaches na binibigay sa amin. Kaya kailangan talaga mag work.”

Looking to go for the jugular, the Angels went to Sabete in the fourth set, where she scored three consecutive points in a 4-1 run to place a five-point, 19-14 advantage for Petro Gazz.

With the win, the Angels claimed the last seat in the semifinals where they will face Cignal HD.
