“Our resiliency. If we talk about consistency, it’s a bit hard to maintain, but we always bounce back. We have this mindset of bouncing back because there’s always the next day, the next game. We value every game,” said Petallo in Filipino after tallying 12 points and 15 digs. “The grit is there. Even though we go through ups and downs, we need to rise and be better the next day.”
