Galeries Tower hopes to deliver a breakthrough performance and challenge PLDT’s strong campaign in their 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference showdown.
The Galeries Tower Highrisers continue their search for a long-awaited breakthrough as they face the streaking PLDT High Speed Hitters in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference on Saturday, November 8, at the Candon City Arena in Ilocos Sur.
The Highrisers enter the match still hunting for their first win of the conference at 0-5, hoping to play spoiler against the High Speed Hitters, chasing a rare sweep of all three PVL titles this year.
Rookie middle blocker Jean Asis has emerged as one of the bright spots in Galeries Tower’s campaign, ranking second among the league’s Best Servers while also providing steady contributions on offense and floor coverage.
Libero Juliet Catindig has likewise stood out, placing fourth in digging and second in receiving—key anchors in the team’s defensive system.

Alongside Asis, import Jelena Cvijovic, Ysa Jimenez, and Dimdim Pacres are expected to lead the charge as Galeries Tower aims to deliver its strongest and most complete performance yet.
But the challenge ahead looms large. PLDT, sitting at 4-1 and in strong contention for a season sweep, enters the match as a heavy favorite with import Anastasiia Bavykina, Savi Davison, Kianna Dy, Majoy Baron, Alleiah Malaluan, and Dell Palomata all in top form.
The Galeries Tower–PLDT showdown serves as the first game of Saturday’s PVL double-header in Candon City.
