PLDT High Speed Hitters rescued after getting stranded at QC training
In a post, PLDT shared that the Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Army assisted in rescuing the players such as Majoy Baron, Kim Fajardo, Kath Arado, and Jovyy Prado among others.
"Maraming salamat po to our Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Army and our volley friends who assisted in rescuing our High Speed Hitters out of the Araneta Avenue area," PLDT said.
"Alam po namin na mahaba pa ang gabi niyo at marami pa kayong matutulungan. We can only hope and pray na ligtas din po kayong makakauwi sa inyong mga tahanan. Muli, maraming, maraming salamat!"
[Thank you to our Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Army and our volley friends who assisted in rescuing our High Speed Hitters out of the Araneta Avenue area... We know you have a long evening ahead and many more people to help. We can only hope and pray that you will return safely to your homes. Again, thank you very very much!]
In a separate video, veteran middle blocker Mika Reyes shared that the team had been stranded at the training venue for several hours before rescuers arrived with lifeboats, braving the flood to bring them to safety.
"Stranded for hours, but rescuers still came sumugod sa baha at walang pagod tumulong. I can only imagine what others went through in even more unstable places," Reyes said in an Instagram reel.
"Sana lahat ng nangangailangan, naabot ng tulog. Forever grateful to those who checked in, brought food and most of all to Philippine Army S&R and Raha Rescue."

The undefeated High Speed Hitters (3-0) will fly to Cebu this weekend to take on fellow unbeaten squad Nxled (3-0) and Galeries (0-3) on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, in the 2025 PVL On Tour.

JM Bravo forgoes final year with LPU, looks to turn pro
JM Bravo is officially moving on from collegiate basketball, opting to skip his final year with Lyceum of the Philippines University as he looks to take the leap into the professional ranks. The 6-foot-3 forward bared his decision to GMA News Online on Tuesday, saying it is a decision he is making for his family. He ends a four-year stint with the Pirates that saw him help the squad reach the Final Four round for three consecutive years. "Maraming salamat Lyceum of the Philippines University Manila sa 4 na taon sa pag tulong at supporta lalo na mga LPU Community, Coaches and Teammates," Bravo said in an Instagram post. "And Buong pasalamat ko sa mga Boss Laurel Family and Lopez Family. Hanggang sa Muli!" Bravo's final season with the Pirates in NCAA Season 100 was marked by personal challenges. Early in the season, he was initially ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to the spinal injury he sustained in their 95-93 loss to San Sebastian College-Recoletos last September 11. Bravo then had an unexpected comeback early in the second round to provide some veteran presence alongside John Barba, Mclaude Guadaña, Gyle Montaño, and Greg Cunanan, rejoining the squad exactly a month after. ?After two games, however, he collapsed on the floor late in their 91-86 loss to Arellano University on October 19 at the FilOil EcoOil Centre, but Bravo braved through it as well and was still able to finish the season as LPU bowed to eventual champion Mapua University in the Final Four. —JMB, GMA Integrated News ?

ZUS Coffee stuns Creamline in five-set showdown; Chery Tiggo snaps Cignal streak
ZUS Coffee and Chery Tiggo carved out a pair of upset wins in the 2025 PVL On Tour on Saturday at the City of Passi Arena in Iloilo. The Thunderbelles wielded the upset ax on league powerhouse Creamline with a 24-26, 25-20, 25-23, 22-25, 15-11 win---a feat that that not only dealt the Cool Smashers a rare second loss in a row but also allowed ZUS to bag its first-ever victory against the multi-titled squad. Chinnie Arroyo was at the forefront for ZUS, churning out 23 points on 22 attacks and an ace while veteran opposite hitter Jovelyn Gonzaga chipped in 12 markers as they improved to 2-1 in Pool B. Creamline, which was coming off a sweep loss to Cignal, fell to a 2-2 card. "Tinatak lang namin sa isip namin na ayun nga, crowd favorite 'yung Creamline pero hindi po dapat kami maapektuhan no'n. Hindi kami nagpadala sa crowd," Arroyo said. "Super malaki 'to sa amin kasi Creamline, champion po 'yan. Malaking bagay po sa amin 'tong game na 'to. Credits po sa lahat, hindi lang po ako 'yung lumaban." In the second game, Chery Tiggo kept its unbeaten run intact while dealing Cignal its first loss after eking out a 25-23, 26-28, 25-15, 25-15 win behind a collective effort. Rookie Rene Peñaflor impressed anew with 18 points while Ara Galang and Cess Robles chimed in with 15 and 14 markers apiece. Middle blocker Imee Hernandez finished with 11 points as the Crossovers racked up their third win in as many games. The HD Spikers, who have won their first three games against Akari, Capital1, and Creamline, saw their winning streak come to an end as they fell to 3-1. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
