The PLDT High Speed Hitters look to get back on track as they face the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The PLDT High Speed Hitters aim to return to the win column as they face ZUS Coffee in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday, Feb. 28, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
Set for the 6:30 p.m. main game, PLDT enters with a 3-1 record and is focused on steadying its play after being dealt its first loss by the Cignal Super Spikers.
The High Speed Hitters remain one of the league's deepest teams, relying on a rotation built on size, balance, and experience.
Part of that depth comes from Alleiah Malaluan, who continues to be a reliable presence across rotations. Malaluan’s ability to contribute on both ends has helped PLDT maintain structure, particularly in extended rallies.

Alongside Malaluan, the High Speed Hitters continue to draw strength from a stacked lineup led by Savi Davison, Kianna Dy, Majoy Baron, Kim Fajardo, Mika Reyes, and Kath Arado.
While PLDT holds the edge on paper against ZUS Coffee, the team remains mindful of the conference’s unpredictability and the need to stay disciplined from first serve to last point.
