The PLDT High Speed Hitters aim to seize the solo lead against the Galeries Tower Highrisers, while the Choco Mucho Flying Titans face the Farm Fresh Foxies in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The battle for positioning in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference continues as two key matches take center stage on Tuesday, March 10, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
The opener at 4:00 p.m. features the PLDT High Speed Hitters aiming to seize the solo lead in the standings as they take on the Galeries Tower Highrisers.
Sporting a 5-1 record, the High Speed Hitters have emerged as one of the most consistent teams in the tournament.
After seeing their three-game winning streak snapped by the Cignal Super Spikers, PLDT quickly bounced back with a straight-set victory over the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles before grinding out a five-set win against the Farm Fresh Foxies.
PLDT continues to rely on the scoring punch of Savi Davison and Kianna Dy, while Majoy Baron and Mika Reyes anchor the middle to give the team a strong presence at the net.
The High Speed Hitters also draw depth from Jessey de Leon, Alleiah Malaluan, Jovie Prado, and Kiesha Bedonia, providing multiple options in both attack and defense.

The Highrisers, meanwhile, are eager to regain momentum after back-to-back losses.
Currently holding a 2-4 record, Galeries Tower is looking to rediscover the form that saw it score a notable victory over the Nxled Chameleons earlier in the conference.
The squad is expected to lean on Jean Asis, Aiza Pontillas, Erika Deloria, Roselle Baliton, Erika Raagas, Gayle Pascual, Lycha Ebon, and setter Julia Coronel as it tries to slow down PLDT’s potent offense.
In the 6:30 p.m. main game, the Choco Mucho Flying Titans seeks to extend their winning run to three matches as they battle the Farm Fresh Foxies.
The Flying Titans appear to have found their rhythm, currently sitting in the upper half of the standings behind the scoring duo of Sisi Rondina and Eya Laure.
With improved chemistry and consistent support from the rest of the roster, Choco Mucho continues to strengthen its position in the race for the next round.
Farm Fresh, however, remains a dangerous opponent despite recent setbacks.
The Foxies have dropped their last two matches—both in five sets—but have shown they can push stronger teams to the limit.
Trisha Tubu continues to lead the offense, with support from Ces Molina, Royse Tubino, Mylene Paat, Riri Meneses, Rizza Cruz, Ara Galang, and Jolina Dela Cruz.
With the top four teams advancing directly to the Qualifying Round, every result becomes increasingly important as the elimination round heads toward its final stretch.
