PLDT, Farm Fresh sweep Ilagan leg to lead PVL On Tour group

PLDT and Farm Fresh remained atop their group after defeating Choco Mucho and Petro Gazz, respectively, to complete sweeps of their Ilagan leg assignment in the 2025 PVL On Tour on Sunday. 

The High Speed Hitters overcame a third set collapse to pull off a 25-22, 25-16, 22-25, 25-17 against the struggling Flying Titans while the Foxies stunned the Angels with a 25-23, 25-21, 25-23 victory at the Capital Arena in Ilagan, Isabela. 

Five PLDT players reached double-digit scoring as Kim Kianna Dy and Jovie Prado each churned out 15 points with the latter grabbing 13 receptions while Majoy Baron and Kiesha Bedonia chipped in 14 markers each. Mika Reyes chimed in with 10 points as PLDT soared to a 3-0 start in Pool A. 

With the win, the High Speed Hitters inched closer to a quarterfinals spot. 

Meanwhile, Farm Fresh leaned on the troika of Trisha Tubu, Jolina Dela Cruz, and Caitlyn Viray in shocking the reigning All-Filipino Conference champions Angels. 

Tubu top-scored with 15 points while Dela Cruz and Viray each posted 12 markers with the latter displaying her versatility after collecting five digs and six receptions as they improved to 2-1. 

The loss, however, spoiled the 18-point outing of veteran Myla Pablo as Petro Gazz slipped to a 1-3 start.
