The Cignal Super Spikers will bank on their tested core as they battle the Galeries Tower Highrisers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference opener.
The Cignal Super Spikers open their 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference campaign, aiming to reassert their contender status against the Galeries Tower Highrisers on Saturday, January 31, at the Filoil EcoOil Arena in San Juan.
After deep runs last season, the Super Spikers enter the conference banking on continuity, opting to make just one offseason addition in order to preserve chemistry and familiarity within their core.
Setter Gel Cayuna remains at the center of Cignal’s system, orchestrating an offense built on balance, tempo, and discipline.
Around her, the Super Spikers will continue to rely on the steady production of Vanie Gandler, Erika Santos, Ishie Lalongisip, Jackie Acuña, and Rose Aquino, with each player filling clearly defined roles honed over multiple conferences together.

With familiarity, depth, and a clear identity on their side, the Super Spikers look to open the conference on a strong note.
First serve is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
