The Choco Mucho Flying Titans played spoiler to Bella Belen’s debut game after outlasting the Capital1 Solar Spikers in a hard-fought sweep, 33-31, 26-24, 25-23, at the Ynares Center Montalban on Tuesday night, October 7.

Both teams were also without their imports, Marlee Smith and Oleksandra Bytsenko, as the PVL continues to await the International Transfer Certificates (ITCs) from the PNVF.

The Flying Titans, though, were also without Fil-Am setter Tia Andaya, who is also affected by the current circumstances.
