“We also thank the V-League kasi they’re having this para ma-hone yung skills namin, yung character namin, and of course yung cohesiveness ng bawat team dito,” he added.
The Blue Eagles raced to an 11-3 lead to start the third set before leading by as much as 11 points, 22-11, after Antonette Adolfo’s attack went out. De Guzman kick-started a 3-0 spurt to finish off the match.
