La Salle officials, including head coach Ramil de Jesus, could not immediately determine Galang’s injury.
Meanwhile, Galang’s mother pleaded to the security guards of the Mall of Asia Arena to see her daughter inside the dugout but to no avail.
Galang’s mother wept as she asked to be let in the Lady Spikers’ dugout but security officials did not budge.
