MANILA, Philippines — With reigning MVP Brooke Van Sickle taking precautions, Myla Pablo joined hands with Aiza Maizo-Pontillas to hold the fort for Petro Gazz in a comeback win over Chery Tiggo in the PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday.

Pablo admitted they started on the wrong foot as they adjusted to Van Sickle not playing as a starter, dropping the first two sets and falling to the brink of defeat against the gritty Crossovers.

Pablo and Pontillas scored 18 points each while Van Sickle caught fire in the fifth as Petro Gazz pulled off a 20-25, 20-25, 25-23, 25-15, 15-7 victory at Philsports Arena.

“The first two sets talagang parang nangangapa kami, hindi namin alam anong dapat naming gawin, anong kulang. Pero nagstick kami kung anong sinabi ng coaches namin kung saan ang palo, doon lang para hindi magkagulo gulo yung depensa sa likod,” said Pablo, who had 15 kills and three blocks.

“Third and fourth nagawa namin, malaking bagay din talaga yung mga second six namin and Rem Palma as a team captain nireremind kami kahit nasa labas siya.”

The former PVL MVP lauded Van Sickle, who scored seven of her 10 points in the fifth on top of 11 digs despite having minutes restrictions following a minor knee cleanup last December.

“Kudos din talaga sa Chery Tiggo grabe din yung depensa talaga nila. Si coach Koji (Tsuzurabara) kasi lagi kami nireremind kung ano yung trabaho namin sa loob ng court. I know Brooke will not play pa [buong game]. So sa fifth set ang laking bagay si Brooke sa amin kasi defense pa lang niya and blockings niya andiyan siya sumusuporta,” she said.

Pablo’s resurgence has been the key to the Angels’ five-game winning streak for a league-leading 6-1 record.

“Yung holidays namin hindi ako nagpahinga masyado kumbaga tinuloy tuloy ko pa rin yung workout ko kay Aldo (Panlilio). Ang hirap din kasi kapag nahinto ka tas back to training,” Pablo said. “Mindset ko this 2025, hinding hindi ko pababayaan yung sarili ko papakundisyon ako kasi kailangan din ako ng team this year.”
