The Choco Mucho Flying Titans look to steady themselves and make a statement as they renew their rivalry with the Creamline Cool Smashers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Choco Mucho Flying Titans aim to get back on track as they collide with longtime rivals Creamline Cool Smashers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Fresh off a setback against the Cignal Super Spikers, the Flying Titans enter the matchup determined to tighten execution and rediscover the consistency that powered their opening win.
Add to that their goal of improving their head-to-head battle against the Cool Smashers, which they’ve only won once in their past 18 outings.
While the spotlight remains on the team’s scorers, Choco Mucho’s chances hinge just as much on stability in other facets of their game.
That places added importance on libero Thang Ponce, who is a key figure in anchoring the Titans’ backcourt.
Ponce is expected to work closely with fellow defenders and setters to neutralize Creamline’s frontline, while allowing Choco Mucho’s attackers, led by Sisi Rondina and Eya Laure, to operate in better rhythm.

Much will also be expected from Kat Tolentino, Dindin Santiago-Manabat, Jaila Atienza, and Lorraine Pecana.
With defensive discipline and composure likely to decide long stretches of the match, Choco Mucho looks to steady the ship and set the tone in one of the conference’s most anticipated early showdowns.
First serve is set for 6:30 p.m.
