We know PLDT is a blocking team, and I used to struggle getting my shots past them, but the trust of my teammates makes the difference,” she added. Aside from Tubu, Royse Tubino delivered a double-double performance of 14 points and 13 excellent receptions. Alohi Robins-Hardy orchestrated the offense with 23 excellent sets, helping two more Farm Fresh gunners score in double digits as Mylene Rezanova chipped in 12 points and Ces Molina added 11. PLDT, which came into the match riding a three-game winning streak, relied on Savi Davison’s monster triple-double performance of 23 points, 23 excellent digs, and 19 excellent receptions, but it was not enough to conquer the gritty Foxies. Jovie Prado and Kianna Dy contributed 13 and 10 points, respectively, in the defeat. The victory marked Farm Fresh's fifth five-set match of the conference, bringing their record in deciders to 3-2. Looking ahead, Farm Fresh will next face Capital 1, while PLDT aims to bounce back against Galeries on Saturday at the PhilSports Arena.

Trisha Tubu unleashed timely hits to steer Farm Fresh to a 20-25, 25-17, 23-25, 25-20, 17-15 win against PLDT in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference Siklab Series on Tuesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
