Kailan ba natin matututunan na WALANG MUKHA ANG BAHAGHARI??? and on pride month, too?

Pinatayo lahat ng tatay kanina after Mass, pinapunta sa harap ng altar.
And i was thinking, 'wow, Ilan kaya sa mga yan ang may kabit at nananakit ng asawa.' Not charot.

Walang lasalle-lasalle o ateneo-ateneo dito. Kung ipokrita ka, walang kinalaman yan sa eskwela mo. May kinalaman yan sa prinsipyo mo bilang tao. Sorry, proud DLSU grad ako. Pero i know BS when i see one, regardless what school you come from.

[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. 🇵🇭🙏
