Wow, you were 12 when you started watching? That was about the time Volleyball started to take off in terms of the popularity. Why’d you get into it? Also, I liked how you included Jolina Dela Cruz in your Dream Team. Kahit bata pa, sinama mo sa lineup.

@@antonROXAS Wow! First off, can I just say that THE ANTON ROXAS replied to my comment!? Goosebumps! 5th Grade, it was Season 75 when I first poured my heart and dedication to support the Lady Spikers in their quest towards a three-peat. It was always a struggle for me to find a sport that I could keep myself busy with and at the same time escalate my adrenaline to entertain me every uwian. Until one afternoon, Game One of the Finals was on TV and my Tita was going gaga over cheering for Mika Reyes. At first, I thought it was just a normal ball game, but the moment I saw Aby Maraño and Michele Gumabao go BEAST MODE DON'T CARE , that's when I knew that there was something special about Volleyball that I have been mysteriously longing for. A solid Abigail Palmares Maraño fanatic who realized that being your most authentic and natural self in competing while still having a game-face on attitude is the biggest key towards achieving great things in life probably wraps up my origin story as a Volleyball fan. Through championships and heartbreaks, it has been a pleasure to idolize people who have taught me how to persevere in life and work for the heights I want to conquer. Little did I know that that one afternoon watching Game One of the Finals, is going to change my life forever. College is right around the corner and I'm still carrying the values and principles my idols and the sport taught me. Oops! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Volleyball player but I do engage in competitive Debating/Public Speaking, just for the reference char! With regards to Jolina being part of my line-up, I would say that Eya Laure playing in the Seagames pushed me to conclude that YOUTH plays a vital role in one team. My origin story is quite long po and overly-dramatic but I hope you'd still read this Mr. Anton! Thank you also for making games much more exciting with your logical insights and exciting remarks! More power to Volleyball DNA and hoping to see more episodes! 💚🏹

Always, Kenneth Never lose that passion for the game! God Bless! 🙏🏼

Will always choose Alarca over Maraño and Penetrante.

@@enzocruz2315 also agree on Alarca's power and volleyball IQ pero (Maraño/Penetrante-Ouano) they can deliver kahit may iniindang injury. As a coach perspective, eto yung mga players na first year palang eh lumalaban na. #CoachNotes

For me cruz ako over cheng hehehe!! Peak cha cruz was unstoppable!!

@@jamessampaga355 yes cha cruz is very good too! Either way, palitan nalang kay Des and Cha 😂

Ang Gelo true!!! No need to be flashy naman. Players like Des Cheng are the “super glue” ng isang team. Yung mga ganang klaseng players eh kahit magstruggle yan offensively eh di yan ilalabas dahil magaling sa floor defense, magaling magserve, may leadership and fighting spirit and higit sa lahat composure. Sad lang na during S81 eh halatang rattled na yung teammates nya like Cobb, SAGA, CLEMENTE, OGUNSANYA & LUNA during the whole season and even Jolina nung 5th set against UST nung F4. Sila lang ni Tin ang composed.

For a casual volleyball viewer, Des Cheng might not be on their list of current OH. Mostly ngayon fans are going gaga over flashy plays. Kasi masaya panoorin at kaka-excite. Pero hindi nila na realize yung pagiging outside hitter na hindi lang flash plays pero placement and great/solid passing. Thus, Des is silently up there kasi ganun style of play nya (more on placement and very solid fd, i-add mo pa yung pagiging clutch player nya). Pre-ACL injury, barogera din si Des kaya in and out sya sa first 6 sa rookie days niya kasi alam ni Coach Ramil na she is an explosive player. Cheng haters can eat shit. hahaha

What about you? What’s your DLSU Dream Team?

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

Sa starters ko wala akong second thoughts sa libero, setter, at OH. Libero kasi si Dawn na talaga, setter kasi mas matangkad si kim kay chie at makakatulong sa blocking, at sa OH naman mas ok ang attacking ni Cha at Ara compared kay Illa at Des tapos ara may back row at Cha may setting pa. Sa Opposite, I think mas malakas na blocker si MG but mas ok attacks ni KKD. Mahirap na choice kasi super intense din si MG pero in terms of floor defense KKD kaya siya ang final ko. Pinaka mahirap yung MB at marami malalakas. Ang mga nag MVP halos lahat bukod kaya Mika. For me pwede sila igroup sa 2, una tall and solid blockers MB1 (Majoy, Mika, Maureen) at solid attackers MB2 usually may slide or running attacks (Jacq, Des H, Aby). Si Jacq ang may pinaka ok na combination ng parehong blocking at attacking plus best server pa kaya napili ko siya. Yung second ay toss up between Des H and Majoy. Medyo similar kay Jacq si Des H at grabe din running niya (IMO mas magaling running niya kay Aby) pero si MJB ang pinakamalakas na blocker proven by the semi pro leagues at ASEAN grand prix at magaling din na server plus may MB2 na kaya siya ang naging starter MB ko. Bakit ko nilagay sa Team C si Aby? Sa tatlong MB2 para sakin mas malakas yung 2 sa peak nila plus pag big games medyo di siya consistent. Ngayon bakit Mika over Em? Timing nalang siguro at nakita pa natin growth ni Mika after UAAP na di na nagkaroon ng chance si Em during her career. Pero hirap din masabi talaga

Hustisya namn Kay Kumareng Demecillo. Nalimutan na ng sambayanang pilininensis si batlang anay. Pero legit, asan na kaya si batla? Ang galing pa naman ni chakaness lalo na sa floor defense. Higa Kung higa si Mami.

@@DanielSBalan nag flight stewardess siya. Pero di naman ata nalimutan kundi mas malakas lang talaga ibang players sa kanya. Maganda nga floor defense ni Cyd pero sa attacking di masyado. Kaya may time ginawa lang siyang service specialist

DLSU superliga😂💚

Des cheng offense defense talaga

Cheng and Cruz are so good. Kaya it’s a toss up sa 2. It’s a matter of preference nlng. So Illa probably prefers Des kasi mas nagagalingan siguro sya kay Des sa position na yun. Both players are offense/defense. Cha is better blocker than Des. Des, on the other hand is far better server than Cha. Magaling din mag set yung 2 na to. Digging/receiving halimaw ang 2 to. So swerte kasabayan nilang liberos...
