B2B BRONZE for Alas! Jema blocks Megawati! 

Kudos to Galanza for a spectacular all around game. She really is a magic bunot. Without her good defense alas can't run a good offense. Of course kudos as well to my bias Alyssa Solomon. You really are the future. Keep improving Alyssa. I really want to see you someday play in the international league. So much potential. Sisi always deliver. Jia good ball distribution. And let's not forget the entire Alas team.

Kudos to Jia, Sisi, Jema at Solomon tinapos sa bronze.🏐❤👏👏👏

Kayang kaya makisabay ng alas kahit sa thailand at vietnan kung consistent lang ang OH1 and 2. Wala na prob sa opposite kasi maganda ang performance ni solomon as always. Kung si jema at rondina ang gnamit nung kontra thailand at vietnam I'm sure ang gandang laban sana.

Buti na lang pinalitan si Laure na puro error at laying block mga spike, nakabuwelo ng husto si jia sa mga combination play para Kay jemma,iba talaga pag kilala mo kasama mo, and sisi naka alagwa ng husto ng ilabas si Laure. Jemma, offense, defense,sa likod o sa net.

tanks god.for the win.sarap ng pakiramdam.kapag nanalo ang Alas Pilipinas

congrats sa team alas at team work nyo nagtulongan kyo.👏👏👏

Congratulations to the team! Their hard work and sacrifices have finally paid off, and this is just the beginning. What is good about this team is they are relatively young - as compared to Thailand, they have 4 players who are 30 and above, the oldest being their libero Piyanut who is 34. For Alas, only Nunag is above 30 (age 32). The next is Jia at 29, and most are in their mid- to early 20s. This could mean they will potentially stay with the national squad for the next 5-10 years, barring any health or other issues. I'm sure after all 4 tournaments they have participated this year as a new team, including their time in training and friendly games, the coaching staff did their assessment as to the potential and the areas for improvement. Don't know if any of their staff read the comments section. Having witnessed all of their games (via livestream or replay), here are my observed pearls and pitfalls: 1. The team has a good mix of veteran and young players with high potential, especially Angel Canino, Gagate, Solomon and Panique. The young ones are tall and mostly agile. They just need to develop more consistency, and by joining high level competitions, they will gain their confidence. 2. The team has a good setter who's also a dedicated leader, knowing how to focus her teammates in a calm and focused manner. 3. In terms of leadership, they are going towards the direction of adjusting the local leagues according to FIVB's recommended national and local team window, so that the players can concentrate on their national team duties. 4. They need to keep a consistent pool of players, similar to what other countries are doing. Thailand lists 23 players in their national squad, while team USA has more than 30 listed under their current roster. This is to have identified players who can be called upon in case some of the other players are unavailable for a particular competition. These players will already be familiar with the system and have chemistry developed among them during training. Casey Dongallo is a good addition. They need another setter. For libero, i think based on past performance, Detdet Pepito should be included. I would really like to see Shevana Laput, but not sure regarding her citizenship, if she is listed as a Filipino citizen. A crucial addition would be a tall and dominating middle blocker in the mold of Jaja Santiago. A good move would be to branch out to Pinoys in other countries, like what Gilas has successfully done in the past, and what the Alas men's are now doing. 5. They need to improve in their speed - Thailand and Vietnam's set and transition plays are really fast. The blockers are hardly in position to even have a hand on the ball. The spike technique of Ajcharaporn, Catchu-on and Pimpichaya - the pivot point for the spike is the shoulder joint. They do not bend their body backwards that much. This makes the spike faster because the shoulder joint is smaller as compared to the lumbo-sacral joints, hence it takes less time to flex. They can do this because they are taller, jump higher, and possibly have stronger arm and latissimus muscles. Their approach can be shorter, and they jump vertically. (Compare this to the traditional approach made by Valdez, Maraguinot, or Galanza, for example, when they take off for a backrow attack - at the highest point before hitting the ball, their bodies are maximally extended, forming a letter C). You can appreciate this more if you do a slo-mo video capture. 6. I noted their price for winning the bronze in leg 1 was 11000 USD, equivalent to more than 600k PHP. Hope they will use it to improve the team - example, hire a team nutritionist-dietician, a regular team doctor, invest in data, AI, statistics and technology (that can analyze the scoring and defense patterns of each spiker and of their opponents; that can compute for the most ideal body mass index), and the like, and not just for team-building activities, although that helps also. Maybe the prize for the 2nd leg is also 11000 USD. 7. Invest in coaching workshop/training. I noticed a lot of netizens calling for the resignation of the current head coach, and to replace him with a Pinoy coach. I respect their opinion on this, but foreign coaches in both national and local teams are not a new thing. In fact, the Japan men's volleyball team who won silver in the recent VNL has a French coach, for example. There are pros and cons - the advantage would be the transfer of technology and collaboration with other leagues. If we want to elevate the coaching capacity of local coaches, then the schools or teams should invest in continuing education for their coaches so they can be up to par with international standards. Personally, i'm happy for Galanza, who i think redeemed herself with her performance. Some may comment that she proved her bashers wrong, but in reality, i don't think any athlete plays to prove their bashers wrong - they do it for the love of the sport, and for the love of their country/team/school.

Hindi na manalo ang Indonesia! Good job ! Improving a lot good coaching staff.

Congratulations, Alas Pilipinas! You are indeed significantly improving. Thanks for bringing the bronze! Congrats to the coaching team, too!

Magaling c jema maraming style ang palo at may pagka libero din xa sa CCs nga napalitan na lahat ng player xa lng naiwan sa loob ng court hndi kc marunong mgbasa c debrito ng player's

Kung sa simula pa dapat nilalagay c gemma at cc at solomon sa 1st six dapat may pangalawa dapat cla malay pa natin na maging gold pa yon.tama yong nakikita q kahapon talaga na kahit mababa kung sila nman ang nakakapuwing sa mga kalaban dba.congrats sa inyo

At least me progress,more to go

Sisi is the key talaga,idadag sa susunod sa NT si Savannah Laput

Congratulations alas

Oh dba jema and susi galing

CONGRATS, ALAS PILILINAS. GALING NMAN NINYO.

If they will keep this roster, the following should be the starting lineup: S: Jia OH1: Nisperos OH2: Galanza OPP: Solomon MB1: Sharma MB2: Gagate L: Macandili/Nierva But, I really think they need (1) someone who can do fast and excellent slides na MB, (2) an excellent Libero passer/digger. As it is, walang ganap si Macandili sa dalawang SeaVLeague. Mas may depensa pa si Jema. They need either Panaga or Madayag sa slides part, and I dunno sa isa pang efficient libero. Pero ang promising nung conversion nila kay Abil sa Cignal in fairness. But if it were up to me, sina Jia, Jema, and Solomon lang so far ang reliable sa team na to if we were to come up with a solid PH Team A. Pwede yung iba sa Team B.

❤

MAMBA MENTALITY SOLID NU LADY BULLDOGS GOLD N BLUE💪🏆🙏🌟

Congratulations alas❤ i love ccs girl jia and jema ❤❤❤

Mautak talaga si galanza umatake maganda pa received congratulations alas 🇵🇭

Kong nsa first 6 c jema ...mas maganda ..anyway 🎉🎉🎉 congratulations

Congratulations ❤❤❤

Congrats alas.. jemaling ❤❤❤

Mas maganda ang team ngayon kesa dati kasi magaling ang utility spiker or opposite spiker nating si Solomon, kaya niyang tapatan si Megawati, di siya mahuli ng mga Indo sa blocking, di katulad ni Kat Tolentino dati, kinakawawa lang ng Indo, huling huli sa blocking...Tapos may Rondina pa, na high leaper, magaling din ung kanyang ka- diagonal partner na si Galanza lalo na sa floor defense, tapos masipag si Thea at Sharma sa blocking, yan ang forte ng taga Lasalle, sa blocking, then si Jia na mautak mag set....Sila Xenia Molina kasi dati hirap sila kay Megawati noon,di makablock sila Jaja at Mika Reyes, kaya laging talo sa Indo...Sana di na palitan itong team na to, magdagdag na lang, pwede si Canino, pati si Laput kasi matangkad, Alinsug kaso maliit, Poyos, malakas, pumalo...

galing ni jema

May mga ampalaya talga sa idol jema namin bulag bulagan lang sila ayaw tanggapin na dahil kay jema nabuha lahat ng team go jema ateast napatunayan mo sa ciach at basher mo na ikaw ang all around plyer

❤❤❤yeheyyy!!Good job ALAS PILIPINAS!! Congratulations salamat sa mahabang playtime ni QUEEN Jema G!

Congratulations

heto yung na observe ko. Siguro, papalitan ko si eya para kay Gema. maraming mga new upcoming players na nag lalaro ngayon sa PVL. Una. Im not a Jema fan at all. Pero, when she's healthy, marami siyang kayang magagawa compared kay eya who is prone to error. I would even like a team B for alas. Dito na papasok sila Solomon at Belen at Canino. Yung Team B ang hindi papalit pero official reserve sila. Kung saan yung TEAM A, andun yung TEAM B. Pero sa mga official games, yung Team A. Pero sa training kelangan andun yung dalawa. At kelangan tayo nang matatangkad na player. Si Coronel lagay ko sa team B. At gusto ko maging backup setter si Iris Tolenada o yung fil-am na nakasama nila sa Japan para mag train. Tsaka mga digs, at service, natin kelangan pa rin nang trabaho. Pero, pa-angat yung alas. Yung fans nga lang di gusto nang process, gusto nila overnight success.

Good! Pag na maintain toh, sure bronze na sa Sea games. pag pumasok na si Tushova, laban na tayo sa Asian Games. hahahaha

Jan mo maaasahan c jema digs, blocks, ace at spikes

Congratulations sisi

Congratulations, Alas..

Sana hindi na sila umalis sa alas and mag train na sila para sa sea games and future leagues like asian games

umabot pa sa 5th set. last match nila battle for bronze din pero 4th set lang tinapos na nila

Next tune up games sa mga powerhouse ng Asia japan korea or kazaks pede na din inetrnational expo, tagal ng hindi natatalo yang indonesia ngaun ayus na kaya na, viet at thai na lang konting chemistry at mabilis na play lang yan.

mga Basher ni De Brito, pasok! galing mo coach, wahaha Eeeyyy🤙😅 Congrats ALAS 💪👏🤣

Gumising ka na debrito, ibaba mo na ang pride mo na kailangan mo talaga si jema, hueag mo na gawing sub, sayang kung ganon lang

natatawa ako sa comment section sa FB Live kanina nag-aaway ang mga fanney ni Jema at Ivy BWHWHAHAHAH napaka-entertaining mas entertaining nga ang away nila kesa sa game HAHHAHAHA

congrats alas

Yong binash nyo c jemma non ngayon star sya sa team Alas thanks to jemma Jia sisi and the rest
