PH men’s volleyball out of medal race after losses

The Philippine men's volleyball team is out of contention for a medal at the 32nd Southeast Asian Games after losing to Cambodia in straight sets on Thursday, May 4.

Despite initial optimism and an extensive training camp in Japan, the team struggled to finish strong in their matches.

In their last game against Cambodia, the Philippines lost 18-25, 18-25, 17-25, with Joshua Umandal citing errors as a key factor.

The team's performance was further hampered by a lack of preparation and limited training time together compared to previous years.

In their opening match on Wednesday, the Philippines lost to defending champion Indonesia in straight sets.
