Games Tomorrow:
(Mall of Asia Arena)
4 p.m. – Generika-Ayala vs Cignal
6 p.m. – F2 Logistics vs Petron
Hunger and desire will be major factors when Petron and F2 Logistics clash in the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference best-of-three finals duel starting tomorrow at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Cargo Movers’ head coach Ramil de Jesus admitted that their chances of regaining the crown all depends on their willingness to win the women’s club tourney bankrolled by Asics, Isuzu, Mikasa, Senoh, Mueller, UCPB Gen and Bizooku with Genius Sports as technical provider.
F2 Logistics has all the reasons to go all-out in this series that also has ESPN5, Hyper HD and Aksyon TV as broadcast partners.
The Cargo Movers used to be the All-Filipino champions until the Blaze Spikers dethroned them following the recruitment of star blocker Mika Reyes, Remy Palma, Sisi Rondina and Bernadeth Pons.
That setback led to their rivalry in Philippine volleyball with both teams clashing in the next four titular showdowns, including the dramatic encounter in the 2017 Grand Prix where Venezuelan import Maria Jose Perez competed in Game 2 despite the death of her brother.
“Just like before, winning in the finals all depends on their willingness and desire,” said de Jesus, who is tipped to be seriously challenged by fellow Far Eastern University alum in Petron coach Shaq Delos Santos in their chess match at the sidelines.
“Hopefully, they would want it more. They worked hard to get into the finals. They should do everything to finish the job.”
De Jesus knows that bringing down Petron is like scaling a mountain.
