CREAMLINE stands alone as the only PVL team to have made at least the semifinal round of every conference the league has ever staged in eight years.
That’s a total of 18 conferences in succession, including the 2025 PVL on Tour preseason tournament, in which the Cool Smashers reached the penultimate round.

With 10 championships, four runner-up finishes and three bronze medals, Creamline’s cold and gold dynasty has stood undeterred for the most part and is still running strong with new pieces in play.
As such, to have a championship-caliber program like theirs remain the yardstick for the rest of Philippine volleyball to catch up to after all these years has been nothing short of a testament to the tight-knit chemistry and longevity they’ve built like no other.
“Siyempre, nandyan din yung program na ginawa namin hanggang ngayong 2025. Yung chemistry na nabuo, talagang nandiyan palagi. Siguro yun yung dahilan kaya laging nasa semis yung Creamline,” said Creamline head coach Sherwin Meneses, who won seven of the team’s 10 titles at the helm.
“Pinaka-importante kasi, hindi lang semis. Ngayon, dapat palaging target ng team is mataas.
“Balik kami sa one point at a time para makuha yung top. Hindi ganun kadali pero ibibigay namin yung 100 percent namin sa semifinals.”
One of Creamline’s last remaining pioneer players in Jema Galanza echoed the same sentiment where she underscored what has always been deemed as their not-so secret recipe to its unrivaled longevity.
“Yung players talaga, eight years na halos lahat kami magkakasama. Sabi nga nila, chemistry talaga yung nagpapa-solid sa Creamline,” said Galanza.
“Swerte namin talaga rin na may mga bagong pumasok na sobrang excited kaming makitang mag-improve at makasama pa sa journey na ‘to.”
