“It’s fine with me, she’s my sister, and I’m proud of what she’s achieved,” Santiago-Manabat said as confetti rained down on her sister. “I guess there’s still so much more that would come her way and I know anything she does, she gives it her all.”
Santiago and the Tornadoes completed their Cinderella run with a 25-18, 25-18, 25-17 victory over Petron in game 3. She finished with 11 points while her elder sister had 14.

Santiago-Manabat also said she was happy for her former National University teammate Ivy Perez.
“I’m happy for Ivy, she’s won the Best Setter award, Jaja also won an individual award (2nd Best Middle Blocker), I’m from NU, I’m really proud of them as their ‘ate’ (big sister),” said Santiago-Manabat.
