Sisi Rondina and Bernadeth Pons captured the 2025 PNVF Nuvali National Open crown in an all-Alas Pilipinas finale against Dij Rodriguez and Sunny Villapando
After two years away from the beach, Sisi Rondina and Bernadeth Pons are back to essentially where they left off—winning.
The decorated tandem delivered a flawless campaign at the PNVF Beach Volleyball National Open, going unbeaten in five matches and taking the title with a hard-fought comeback win over Alas Pilipinas teammates Sunny Villapando and Dij Rodriguez, 17-21, 21-16, 16-14, at the Nuvali Sand Courts in Laguna.
Despite the long layoff, Rondina and Pons looked sharp from the outset, dominating the 12-team field without dropping a single set through the pool and knockout rounds.
They opened their run with convincing wins against NU Nazareth School’s Faith Mangyao and Liezl Dejan (21-11, 21-6), and UP’s Euri Eslapor and Kassie Doering (21-12, 21-15).
In the quarterfinals, the "SiPons" tandem overpowered Jenny Gaviola and Alexa Polidario, 21-9, 21-12, before holding off Sofiah Pagara and Khy Progella, 21-15, 21-19, in the semifinals.
