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.
Acaylar set the record straight regarding the status of the Defenders, who remained winless in six games, saying the team is facing internal problems with the management, which first came to light due to a viral Reddit post.
“As you already know, there is a problem. It has spread [online]. Maybe, it’s up to the management to answer that but as I’ve said we don’t want to get ahead of the management,” the Gerflor coach told reporters in Filipino after their 10-25, 16-25, 14-25 loss to F2 Logistics on Thursday at Philsports Arena.

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.
