Alas Men fall short of SEA V. League podium anew
Alas Pilipinas Men concluded Leg 2 of the SEA V. League in Indonesia with a fourth-place finish after a four-set defeat to Vietnam.
This marks the second consecutive leg where the team failed to secure a podium finish, mirroring their fourth-place ranking in Leg 1.
The team concluded Leg 2 with a 1-3 record.
Jade Disquitado was the top scorer for Alas Pilipinas with 17 points against Vietnam, followed by Buds Buddin with 13 and Leo Ordiales with 12.
The absence of key players like Marck Espejo and Bryan Bagunas due to injuries has impacted the team's performance.
Vietnam secured at least a bronze medal, with a chance for silver depending on other match outcomes, avenging their Leg 1 loss to the Philippines.
The team is now focusing on improving its performance ahead of the 2025 FIVB Men's World Championships in September, which the Philippines will host.
