PLDT, Farm Fresh sweep Ilagan leg to lead PVL On Tour group
PLDT and Farm Fresh remained atop their group after defeating Choco Mucho and Petro Gazz, respectively, to complete sweeps of their Ilagan leg assignment in the 2025 PVL On Tour on Sunday. The High Speed Hitters overcame a third set collapse to pull off a 25-22, 25-16, 22-25, 25-17 against the struggling Flying Titans while the Foxies stunned the Angels with a 25-23, 25-21, 25-23 victory at the Capital Arena in Ilagan, Isabela. Five PLDT players reached double-digit scoring as Kim Kianna Dy and Jovie Prado each churned out 15 points with the latter grabbing 13 receptions while Majoy Baron and Kiesha Bedonia chipped in 14 markers each. Mika Reyes chimed in with 10 points as PLDT soared to a 3-0 start in Pool A. With the win, the High Speed Hitters inched closer to a quarterfinals spot. Meanwhile, Farm Fresh leaned on the troika of Trisha Tubu, Jolina Dela Cruz, and Caitlyn Viray in shocking the reigning All-Filipino Conference champions Angels. Tubu top-scored with 15 points while Dela Cruz and Viray each posted 12 markers with the latter displaying her versatility after collecting five digs and six receptions as they improved to 2-1. The loss, however, spoiled the 18-point outing of veteran Myla Pablo as Petro Gazz slipped to a 1-3 start. —JMB, GMA Integrated News

PLDT makes quick work of Petro Gazz to continue unbeaten PVL on Tour start
PLDT's veterans presided over the High Speed Hitters' dominant 25-22, 25-15, 25-16 win against an incomplete Petro Gazz squad to remain undefeated so far in the PVL On Tour on Saturday in Ilagan City. Majoy Baron and Jovelyn Prado fronted the offense with 12 points apiece with the latter also grabbing 13 receptions while Kim Kianna Dy chipped in 10 markers as they improved to 2-0. The Angels, who are still without Alas Pilipinas members Brooke Van Sickle and MJ Phillips, turned to Myla Pablo as the veteran spiker posted 16 points. It was, however, not enough as the reigning All-Filipino Conference champions slipped to 1-2. "Syempre 'pag ang kalaban mo ay mga top teams like Petro, happy na nakukuha namin 'yung panalo. Happy kami na nakapag-perform lahat," PLDT head coach Rald Ricafort said. PLDT broke from a slim 12-11 lead and turned it into a huge 20-14 lead in Set 3 after Baron and Dy both took advantage of back-to-back overpasses from Petro Gazz. Baron then denied Jonah Sabete on the opposite side for a 23-15 cushion before Pablo tried to breathe some life to the Angels with another kill from the left side, 23-16. But Baron was just unstoppable at the net, delivering the finishing kick with two consecutive quick plays that sealed it for PLDT. —JMB, GMA Integrated News

Petro Gazz bounces back with sweep win vs. Galeries
Less than 24 hours removed from a tough loss in its opener, Petro Gazz made sure to get the job done this time around after blanking Galeries, 25-23, 25-21, 26-24, to barge into the win column of PVL On Tour on Sunday in Batangas City. The Angels bounced back from a heartbreaking five-set defeat against a rejigged Nxled yesterday to improve to 1-1 while the High Risers slipped to a 0-2 hole in Pool A. A Jonah Sabete attack from the left side saw the reigning All-Filipino Conference champions taking an 18-16 lead in Set 3 before rookie Jean Asis continued to flaunt her brilliance by serving an ace to tie things up at 18-all. Roselle Baliton then denied Joy Dacoron on the quick play to force another deadlock at 20-all, but they had to hold their breath after libero Blove Barbon went down with an apparent injury. That, however, only motivated Galeries, unleashing a 3-0 run led by Jewel Encarnacion as the wards of head coach Lerma Giron moved two points away from extending the match. But Petro Gazz showed off its championship poise with Nicole Tiamzon coming up clutch, rejecting Ysa Jimenez on the opposite side before hitting it off the hands of Baliton to fuel a 4-0 rampage, 24-23. Encarnacion would level it again at 24-all, but a service serror from her and another Tiamzon attack sealed the sweep victory for the Angels. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Rookie Lyann De Guzman shines as Nxled upsets Petro Gazz in Batangas showdown
Lyann De Guzman made an immediate impact in her professional debut, steering Nxled to a 25-23, 19-25, 19-25, 25-15, 15-10 thrilling upset over Petro Gazz in the PVL On Tour on Saturday at the Batangas City Sports Complex. The rookie out of Ateneo de Manila University scattered a game-high 21 points anchored on 18 attacks and three aces while also grabbing eight digs and nine receptions to help the Chameleons went 1-0 early in Pool A. De Guzman's all-around showing supplied help to her seniors EJ Cariño and Chiara Permentilla with the former tallying 12 points and the latter posting 10 markers. "I'm very happy because we won against the best team of the last conference. I know that we have to keep our feet on the ground, but it's a big game so we're happy," Nxled head coach Etorre Guidetti said. De Guzman, who was picked fourth overall during the recent Rookie Draft, admitted she was nervous at first, especially after Guidetti gave her a starting role alongside the veterans. But she credited her seniors for helping her overcome the jitters. "Actually, nu'ng una talaga sobrang kinakabahan talaga ako. Sabi lang ng mga ate ko na relax lang and just enjoy the game and mas umangat lang 'yung confidence ko with their help," the former Blue Eagle said. "Of course, we're very happy kasi ayun nga, parang lahat ng training namin these past few weeks lumabas siya sa laro namin and of course we just need to follow the system of coach and 'yung points darating na lang," Petro Gazz, the reigning champions of All-Filipino Conference, was without some key players in Brooke Van Sickle and MJ Phillips, who are both suiting up for Alas Pilipinas in the VTV Cup. Still, the Angels put up a fight behind Myla Pablo, who top-scored them with 16 points laced with 10 digs and eight receptions while Nicole Tiamzon and Jonah Sabete chipped in 15 and 14 markers each. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
