kung hindi pa rin kayo galit sa mga korap na opisyal, bakit?

[Vil ꕤ | CCS @VIL_CCS]

They love to forget who built the standard.

Alyssa Valdez didn’t just play for the flag she carried it when no one else could.

She gave Philippine volleyball a name, a voice, and a reason for people to care.
And now, ang daming biglang may opinion?

''YUNG ANAK KO ANG DAMING PASA, SAAN GALING 'YUNG PASA?'

Maraming katanungan si Rovelyn Baterbonia sa sinapit ng kanyang anak na si Rene Baterbonia habang nasa boot camp ng Ateneo Blue Eagles men’s basketball sa Dipaculao, Aurora nitong Lunes, June 8.

Nasawi ang student-athlete matapos malunod. Base sa salaysay ng mga kasamahan ng biktima sa mga awtoridad, mayroon umano silang activity kung saan lumalakad ang mga player sa dagat na hanggang hita ang lalim. Nang bigla umanong tangayin ng current si Baterbonia at isa pa niyang kasamahan na si Divine Adili. | via Mon Gualvez

Lol, why is all the blame on Alyssa Valdez when she's clearly still one of the best scoring options? AV played well. Some people just can't accept that a 32-year-old can still fly high and deliver. #AVCWomensCup

11 years in the making.

Ara Galang and Alyssa Valdez in one team healed all my broken hopes for their potential that the LVPI took.

We could’ve transitioned from Valdez-Galang to Canino-Belen.

This is why we must unite against the PNVF.

Alyssa Valdez frontline kill 🤯 #AVCWomensCup #AlasPilipinas

[Huhh?? @bepblap]

In the end, it’s becoming more and more obvious that, for some people, their distaste for everything happening in Philippine volleyball right now is rooted less in the issues themselves and more in their deep hatred for one woman: Alyssa Valdez.

You can’t claim to be fighting for what’s right while openly hoping for the downfall of the current Alas team and the humiliation of the Philippines on the international stage.

That said, I also disagree with those insisting that the current Alas lineup is already better—in terms of overall skill and chemistry—than the previous pool. Arguably, the talent and potential of the original Alas core was the strongest collection of players the Philippines has assembled in recent years. That’s exactly why it’s disappointing and heartbreaking that we’ve reached this point, where many of them chose not to play this season, possibly because of circumstances they had to endure.

But this is where we are now. A new team was formed because someone still had to represent the country in the AVC. We can all say, “Dapat yung OG pa rin,” but the reality is they declined this time. I’m sure many of them wanted to wear the flag again, but perhaps not under the circumstances only they truly know.

The truth is, none of us knows the full story. There has been no official statement, no formal complaint from the players, and no complete account from those involved. But you don’t have to be the smartest person in the room to realize that something wasn’t right.

What we should also be clear about is this: the new team never campaigned to replace the OG. They never claimed they deserved the spot more. The decision was ultimately made by the PNVF. They simply answered the call because they, too, wanted the honor of wearing the Philippine jersey and competing for the country. And honestly, isn’t that a dream any athlete would have?

This “OG Alas vs. New Alas” narrative is making us forget who should actually be held accountable. The players are not each other’s enemies. They’re on the same side.

The only side worth taking is the side of every athlete who has sacrificed to represent the Philippines. Set aside personal vendettas and misplaced hate. If we truly want Philippine volleyball to move forward, let’s stop tearing down the players and start demanding better for all of them. 🇵🇭🙏

Saw this on TikTok, and I felt sad even though they won the game. The hate the players are getting is too much, especially for AV, but their love for the country and their willingness to carry our flag are unmatched. Win or lose, we are proud of each and every one of you. 🫶🏻

[Robby @Okkin25]

Medyo nakakainis lang na you always correct me sa paggamit ko ng words when in fact in grammar sense, mas more professional wordings yung sinabi ko sa sinuggest mo

[Robby @Okkin25]

Mabait naman siya oo. Pero ate naman. Hindi ka laging tama. Educ grad po ako. Medyo may alam naman ako sa grammar and how to make it look professional. It’s how you perceive it kase you’re not used to seeing how it should be done.

Alam na ni Mareng Gazini pero teh maraming salamat!!!! DESERVE MO ANG TOP 5 PLACEMENT 🥹🇵🇭👏 #MGIAllStars

[rae 🪽 @RaeGunn]

Regardless of the outcome tonight, Gazini Ganados has already won by showing the world her growth. This is the redemption arc we’ve been waiting for since 2019. The crown would be the cherry on top, but the respect is already secured. 👑🐦‍🔥

In 2006 Risa Hontiveros faced off against cops while calling for the ouster of President Arroyo.
This woman has courageously stood up for us her whole life despite the risk and despite the odds.
