“It’s been very hard for the team. Syempre, we’ve been through losses after losses. It was very hard since also Kianna [Dy] has been injured. It was hard para buhayin sila but we are very happy na again, we are back here,” said F2 Logistics head coach Regine Diego.

“We are back in the semifinals. I wish maging mas okay kami sa next game and I just want these girls to be healthy and they enjoy the game all the time,” she added.

The Vietnamese squad gave a tough fight, threatening to push the series into a fifth set.
