Alas Pilipinas Women Win Silver at the 2025 AVC Women's Nation's Cup!

Congratulations to the Alas Pilipinas women's volleyball team for winning silver at the AVC Women's Nation's Cup. This is the best ever finish by a Philippine women's team at this 64-year old event. Amazing! They built on what was achieved last year - when the Philippines won bronze - and took it a step further in 2025. Most of the players from last year where still in this year's roster, with the notable addition of some incredible talents such as Bella Belen, Alyssa Solomon, and Shaina Nitura. This is also the first time the Philippines won a silver medal at an internaional volleyball since the 1997 SEA Games. The Alas team also had multiple individual awardees. One of them was Angel Canino who won Best Outside Hitter. This is such a spectacular result on so many levels. This is Angel's second international individual award in two years. Last year, she also won but as an opposite hitter. It's utterly impressive to think that she has won two international awards for two different positions in two years. Way to go, Angel! Jia De Guzman was also awarded best setter for the second year in a row. She really has cemented herself as one of the, if not the, best setters in the country. Not just right now but maybe in history. She truly is JiAmazing! I am also really happy that Dell Palomata was awarded best middle blocker. This was her first international individual award but she really did hold her own against some of the best attackers in the continent. This may be the first time in recent history that three members of the Philippine women's volleyball team won individual awards at the same international event. Congratulations Angel, Jia, and Dell! Hopefully the powers that be can keep this team intact for the most part and strengthen their skills as individuals and as a team. With their recent progress and ability to play against some strong team in Asia, they really do have such great potential. Congratulations Alas Pilipinas Women's team!
