In a thrilling showdown that could rewrite the history books, MVP powerhouse Sisi Rondina has rallied her Choco Mucho squadron with a resolute call: "Focus on the present."
With their eyes set on redemption, the Flying Titans are gearing up for a titanic clash against defending champions, the Creamline Cool Smashers, in the forthcoming finals of the 2024 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.
After an arduous journey through the playoffs, Choco Mucho secured their spot in the finals by dispatching the determined Petro Gazz in a four-set nail-biter at the illustrious Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday.
The victory not only propelled them into the championship bout but also served as a testament to their unwavering resolve.
Rondina, the fiery MVP, delivered a masterclass performance against the Angels, amassing an impressive 32 points.
Yet, her impact transcended the stat sheet as she preached the gospel of perseverance and staying grounded in the present moment.
“Ang natutunan ko lang talaga is pahabaan ng pasensya, focus lang on the present. Hindi kami pwede mag-isip sa past and the future kasi mata-trap kami,” she asserted, encapsulating the team's ethos of controlling what they can amidst the chaos.
For the Flying Titans, the road to redemption has been fraught with obstacles, from grueling injuries sidelining key players like the indomitable Kat Tolentino to facing off against a Creamline juggernaut that has reigned supreme for years.
However, Rondina remains undeterred, adamant that their hunger for glory will fuel their ascent to the pinnacle of volleyball greatness.
Bolstered by a newfound confidence stemming from a sweep in the round-robin semifinals, Choco Mucho enters the championship showdown armed with a newfound belief.
Their recent victory over Creamline, ending a daunting 12-game losing streak, serves as both a source of inspiration and a stark reminder of their capability to defy the odds.
As they brace for the ultimate test against the seasoned champions, Rondina draws strength from a poignant message she stumbled upon: "If there's a blessing, there should be a test."
Through adversity and triumph, the Flying Titans remain steadfast in their pursuit of glory, fueled by an unyielding desire to etch their names in the annals of volleyball history.
With their eyes fixed on the prize, they stand ready to seize their moment and rewrite the narrative of Philippine volleyball.
