The Akari Chargers stay unstoppable as they secure their fifth consecutive victory, beating the Galeries Tower Highrisers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
Akari kept its momentum rolling in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference, outlasting Galeries Tower, 25-23, 25-23, 14-25, 26-24, on Tuesday at the Santa Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.
After opening the tournament with three straight losses, the Chargers have now strung together five consecutive victories, improving to 5-3 and moving a step closer to clinching a top-4 finish.
Another win would secure Akari a place in the qualifying round, giving the Chargers a chance to vie for an outright semifinal berth.
Meanwhile, the loss extended the Highrisers’ skid to four games, dropping them to 2-6 and placing them in the Play-In stage alongside ZUS Coffee and four other teams still to be determined.
Akari will look to lock up the qualifying round berth when it faces Farm Fresh on Saturday at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
