Alas Pilipinas Men aim to bounce back in the 2025 SEA V.League Leg 2 with a crucial matchup against Cambodia.
After a tough five-set loss to host Indonesia, Alas Pilipinas Men are looking to get back on track as they face Cambodia in the 2025 SEA V.League Leg 2 Friday, July 18, at the Jakarta International Velodrome.
Alas Men opened their second-leg campaign with a valiant effort against the silver medalists from Leg 1, taking a 2-1 set lead before eventually falling short in five sets, 19-25, 25-19, 25-21, 22-25, 8-15.
Jade Disquitado led the charge with 20 points built on 16 attacks, a block, and three aces. Leo Ordiales added 16 markers, while Louie Ramirez chipped in 12 in a match that tested the team’s mettle against one of the region’s strongest squads.

Now, the Philippine squad turns its attention to Cambodia—a team they previously edged in a five-set thriller during Leg 1 in Candon City, 25-21, 25-27, 32-30, 23-25, 15-8.
The win proved to be one of the bright spots in an otherwise up-and-down performance for the national team, which finished fourth in the opening leg.
A victory over Cambodia in Jakarta will be crucial to keep Alas in the hunt for a podium finish and maintain momentum as the team continues to grow under head coach Angiolino Frigoni.
The match is scheduled for tip-off at 5:00 p.m. (Manila time).
