CHERY Tiggo can now claim the honors of being the first-ever professional volleyball league champions in the Philippines.
Beating back fatigue after playing seven games in a row, the plucky team defeated two-time champion Creamline Cool Smashers in the best-of-three finals series of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Open Conference on Friday.
The twin towers of Jaja and Dindin Santiago led the team to a devastating comeback, recovering from two sets behind to rule at 23-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-23, 15-8.
The Philippine volleyball Twitterverse was living for the outcome, with #PVL2021Finals topping the local trends, while ‘Valdez’, ‘Jema’, ‘Jaja’, ‘Creamline’, and ‘Chery’ taking over the next spots.
Here are some of the best tweets from the supportive fans!
