The Flying Titans have been electrifying all conference long, but they still need to improve on several areas.
The Choco Mucho Flying Titans had an anti-climactic final game in the eliminations of the PVL Invitational Conference as they lost in straight sets to the Cignal HD Spikers. A slugfest was expected as they battled for a semifinals slot, but Jovelyn Gonzaga and her crew were just too much for the Flying Titans on Tuesday at the PhilSports Arena. Nonetheless, with a 3-2 win-loss record in Pool A, the Dante Alinsunurin-mentored squad still gave its fans many moments to remember from the tournament.
Perhaps that is the reason why their supporters reacted the way they did after Choco Mucho failed to reach the penultimate stage.
Take Twitter user @missdeniqua for one. She had nothing but love for the entire team amid the disappointing loss.
“To the coaches, CMFT staff, and especially to PT Beths, thank you for believing in them. Salamat po, hindi ninyo sinukuan, see you next conference! Bounce back much stronger,” she posted.
Netizen April Lyn expressed a tad of regret for skipping work to watch her favorite team. That said, her commitment as a fan was something else.
“Di ako nag-office today dahil sa PVL. Tapos olats pa cmft haha. Anubayan.,” she tweeted.
One devoted fan felt compelled to defend the ladies in purple from the bandwagoners and the bashers.
"Naglalabasan bashers ng CMFT dahil natalo sila pero kung panalo mga 'yan, ang daming emeng solid fans kuno bigla," @beibei wrote.
The defeat seemed to prompt Choco Mucho fan @CaalimMarcus to bare his wish list for the Flying Titans next conference.
“Ang need ng CMFT this Reinforced [Conference] is halimaw na opposite and terminating open,” he claimed.
Twitter user @_beadel_cmft meanwhile, professed her undying love for the squad.“Kayo parin ang pipiliin araw araw, I love you so much, CMFT,” she declared.
Another supporter shared her wish for Choco Mucho, all while showing appreciation for the team’s prized recruit Sisi Rondina and former F2 Logistics Cargo Mover Des Cheng.
“Thank you for choosing CMFT, Des & Sisi! You two really matter sa team so please ‘wag nyo kami iiwan kasi grabe na ‘yung attachment namin sa inyo,” Ysa tweeted.
A lot is expected from the Flying Titans in the PVL Reinforced Conference but first, they’ll have to take care of business in the PVL Invitational’s classification matches.
