The Philippines Men's Volleyball Team advances to the gold medal match after 42 years. The squad won against defending champion Thailand last night, December 8, at the PhilSports Arena.
In 1977, the last time the Philippines competed in the finals of the men's indoor volleyball, our country finished second behind Burma (now called Myanmar).
The Philippines beat Thailand in a tough five-set match: 17-25, 25-20, 23-25, 27-25, 17-15.
Ace spikers Bryan Bagunas and Marck Espejo combined 47 points to carry the country to the finals; wherein they will go against Indonesia, the reigning silver medalist.
Team captain John Vic De Guzman also expressed his utmost gratitude to their supporters who were instrumental for their amazing performance in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.
John Vic wrote, “Para po ito sa bawat Pilipinong naniwala sa Men's Volleyball simula noon na tanging pamilya lang namin ang pumapalakpak. Ngayon buong Pilipinas na ang aming kakampi. Maraming salamat sa pagsugal sa amin.
“Sana po magtuloy tuloy ito kahit pagkatapos ng Sea Games 🏻🇵🇭 Ang tagumpay pong ito ay para sa'yo na kahit kailan hindi nagduda, nangutya, nang-api, nambalewala sa aming mga sakripisyo. Lord, maraming maraming salamat po.”
