PLDT libero Kath Arado knows tough test awaits in facing Choco Mucho

MANILA, Philippines — PLDT veteran libero Kath Arado knows each player on the Choco Mucho Flying Titans poses a threat. As a floor defender, the 28-year-old Arado knows that Choco Mucho has a lot of fiery gunners in its lineup. “For us, we can't afford to think individually about what our game will be or who we'll face because there are so many of them and this is an all-in play, so we need to focus more on what we can bring to that game,” Arado said in Filipino. The PLDT High Speed Hitters need to overcome the Flying Titans on Thursday in order to barge into the semifinals of the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series. While PLDT currently holds a three-game winning streak against the heavily favored Choco Mucho side, emerging victorious in the 2025 Reinforced, 2025-26 All-Filipino, and 2026 PVL On Tour conferences, this is a fortified Choco Mucho version. “They've always been really tough opponents because every single one of them is genuinely capable and brave. On their side, we know they want to take it because, of course, this is their chance,” Arado added During the mentioned conferences, high-flying gunner Sisi Rondina and wing spiker Eya Laure were not present in the matches against PLDT since they were serving their Alas Pilipinas duties. Choco Mucho came off a huge victory over sister team and defending champion Creamline Cool Smashers last Thursday, marking its second win against the Cool Smashers since its rivalry in 2019. Creamline still holds a 19-2 head-to-head record. “Preparation-wise, we have to be ready — we need to be in condition both mentally and physically because this won't be easy,” Arado added. Both Choco Mucho and PLDT hold a 4-3 win-loss record, and the winner of the match will advance to the semifinals of the first round of the All-Filipino round.

PVL: PLDT turns back Galeries to bolster semis push

PLDT gutted out a much-needed win, fending off Galeries' third-set storm to complete a 25-13, 25-23, 23-25, 25-18 win in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference Siklab Series on Saturday at the PhilSports Arena.

Hitters down Galeries, set up do-or-die clash vs Choco Mucho

MANILA, Philippines — The PLDT High Speed Hitters kept their final-four hopes alive with a four-set victory over the Galeries Tower Highrisers, 25-13, 25-23, 23-25, 25-18, in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series on Saturday at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City. The win improved PLDT to 4-3, tying the Choco Mucho Flying Titans for fourth place. Galeries, already eliminated, fell to 1-6. For the High Speed Hitters to clinch a semifinal slot, they need to overcome the Flying Titans, who won in a five-set clash over the defending champion Creamline Cool Smashers. Nxled is the lone team who already advanced to the semis with a 5-0 card, while Creamline tallied a 4-2 record.  Knowing the weight of this match,  Savi Davison shrugged off the five-set loss over Farm Fresh and led the Hitters with 21 points and 16 excellent digs in this win over the Highrisers. She showed the same consistency as she came off a triple-double performance against the Foxies, posting a triple-double performance of 23 points, 23 excellent digs, and 19 excellent receptions. “Farm Fresh really played really well, and now we choose to bounce back. It really comes down to every point,” Davison said after the game. Kianna Dy and Palomata added 10 points apiece for PLDT. Erika Delora and Jean Asis paced Galeries with 13 and 11 points, respectively, but their efforts were not enough to snatch a victory.  PLDT will face Choco Mucho in its final preliminary-round match, while Galeries closes its campaign against Capital1 on Thursday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Tots Carlos sees silver lining in Creamline defeat vs. Choco Mucho

MANILA, Philippines — Not all is lost for Tots Carlos, even after Creamline ended its seven-game winning streak over sister team Choco Mucho. As the more accomplished sister team with 11 Premier Volleyball League titles, Creamline holds a commanding 19-2 all-time record over Choco Mucho. The Cool Smashers needed to win over the Flying Titans to bolster their twice-to-beat advantage bid in the semifinals of the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series. But the defeat led them to fall to a 4-2 win-loss record, tied with the Farm Fresh Foxies, trailing behind semis-bound Nxled (5-0). Carlos, the league’s three-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) shared that despite what was at stake with the loss, Creamline’s rhythm showed. “I think the team’s progress is showing; we’re starting to find our rhythm. Honestly, we’re happy with how we played. Of course it’s still a loss, but at the same time, our rhythm is getting better, and everyone really contributed,” Carlos, who made 13 points in a five-set heartache over Choco Mucho said in Filipino. With Choco Mucho holding a 2-1 set advantage, Creamline forced a decider. Both teams exchanged blows in the fifth frame, but Choco Mucho Eya Laure proved to be handy in the clutch, as she led the team to a match-point advantage, 14-11. Knowing how Creamline can dig deep despite on deficit, Carlos scored back-to-back points in attempt to force a deuce in the match, 14-13. But Caitlin Viray slammed an off-the-block hit to avoid an equalizer, allowing Choco Mucho to escape with a victory, 15-13. Recalling this exchange in the deciding frame, Carlos said that there’s nothing much to say as Choco Mucho played better. “I think we have to give credit to Choco Mucho, their coaches, and their staff—they prepared well for us. I’d say that was pure effort and heart from them.” “They fought hard, and it just so happened that we came up short. But all their effort was there. They never stopped fighting, even on balls that were already far away. They just didn’t give up. I think Choco Mucho played a great game today.”
