SAVI Davison does not dwell, but she does not forget either.
PLDT’s Game 1 win in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference battle for third over Farm Fresh meant much more than just a 1-0 series edge.

It was payback for the loss that knocked the High Speed Hitters out of championship contention back in the semifinals.
Davison made sure of it, erupting for 33 points, while channeling both the lessons and the sting of that defeat.
“We’ve had a pretty tough journey leading up throughout the playoffs, so we really came into this game really wanting to redeem ourselves,” the Fil-Canadian winger said.
“When you’ve been in and around sport for so long, you don’t really try to make yourself forget. You just know it’s there and you accept it and you just kind of move on.”
Finish the story
A third title may no longer be within reach, at least in this campaign, but a podium finish and a first bronze still are.
In Davison's eyes, that remains enough motivation to finish what they started.
After failing to convert a No. 1 seed into a finals berth, PLDT now eyeing a strong close to salvage their campaign.
“It’s doing it for everyone else at this point and just kind of finishing off this season the right way,” she said.
“We fought all the way through the end and this is what transpires when you’re able to you know move on from those tough games and kind of pull together.”
