MANILA, Philippines — Gerflor coach Sammy Acaylar admitted that his team is facing financial problems in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) second All-Filipino Conference.

Choco Mucho’s Aduke Ogunsanya.–MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — After recovering from an ACL injury, Aduke Ogunsanya vows to always stay ready for Choco Mucho whenever her number gets called in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) second All-Filipino Conference.
The fit-again middle blocker provided the spark off the bench, scoring all of her six points in the third set — the lone frame she played — in Choco Mucho’s 25-11, 25-20, 25-19 sweep of Nxled on Tuesday at Philsports Arena.
Ogunsanya may not be a starter for the Flying Titans, who have a deep middle blocker rotation bannered by Maddie Madayag along with Cherry Nunag, Bea De Leon, and Maika Ortiz, but she is made sure to deliver when needed.
