#OBF
Haters: Alyssa Valdez will never win a championship with Ateneo
Ateneo wins S76 and S77
Haters: Alyssa Valdez is the only reason why Ateneo won 2 championships. They will never win again.
Ateneo wins S81
✔️ Jho Maraguinot
✔️ Deanna Wong
✔️ Jamie Lavitoria
🔜 Kat Tolentino
🔜 Ana Gopico
🔜 **** ********
3/6 na. 3 more to go.
The quest for the Back 2 Back is on!

🦅💙
Still proud of Choco Mucho Flying Titans! Only a few people believed in them. But they still made it to the Final Four. But Rebisco, please work with Coach Oliver. The guy works hard in recruiting. Please don't turn down his recruits. If you want to win, listen to him.
I think Choco Mucho has a very strong lineup in the PVL
ST - Wong, Ferrer
LB - Revilla, Ponce
OP - Tolentino, Viray
OH - Cheng, Molde, Gaston, Arocha, Ebuen, Santos-Ng
MB - De Leon, Nunag, Ogunsanya, Madayag, Angustia, Palec
Sa totoo lang, wala tayong excuse matalo. We have seniors, experienced players, 6 players who played in the UAAP Finals, and players na sanay na sa Ateneo vs La Salle crowd. And yet, sino ang natakot and kinabahan and natalo sa kalaban na puro rookies and first UAAP games nila?
CMFT
De Leon - Finals MVP 81
Tolentino - Best Opp 81
Madayag - Best MB 81
Wong - Best Setter 80
Molde - ROY 78
Cheng - Finals MVP 78
Lazaro-Revilla - Best Digger 76 77
Ferrer - Best Setter 72 73 75
What's wrong???
We’re all focused on winning games that we tend to forget that after tomorrow, Bea, Maddie and Kim G all have less than 11 games left in the UAAP. And after tomorrow, the three ladies will be battling all 7 teams for possibly the last time in their UAAP career. 😢😭
Jia Morado, Jho Maraguinot, Ana Gooico and Kat Tolentino all deserve good exits so I hope they will all play next year (our hosting year) especially since we finally have two good rookie liberos. 💙
#OBF
Jaja Maraguinot is a phenomenal setter. Ever since naman yung skills niya mala-Jia Morado na but she just lacks experience talaga. But I’m confident she will step up this year. I’m not worried with our setting for Season 82! ☺️
Our Lady Eagles had a tight 2018-19 schedule. They played like pro athletes, played 38 games in a span of 9 months (that's like 2 UAAP Seasons in one year) including a two week Japan training. They deserve to rest!!!
#OBF
We don't win a lot of championships, but when we do it's always in a grandeur way. A Cinderella story that defied the odds, a pure dominating clean sweep and a stressful roller coaster ride with a big finish.
#OBF
💙
Choco Mucho’s first six gonna be like:
Wong
Maraguinot
De Leon
Tolentino
Gaston
Madayag
Lazaro-Revilla
It’s Season 80 all over again with Denden as “guest player”. Hahaha.
Looks like it's really gonna be Jaja Maraguinot as primary setter in the PVL Collegiate and UAAP. Tough blow after losing the Big 3 and Kim G. I'm so sad. Rest well, Deanna! See you in Season 83.
The Lady Eagles will all start training again for the UAAP back to back quest on June 18. And the rookies will finally join them. They are set to compete in a tournament soon. 💙🦅
Kat Tolentino just proved today how much of an all around player she is. From her power spikes, smart hits, digs, receives, blocks and aces. I think she deserves to be in the national team.
Deanna Wong, Maddie Madayag, Kat Tolentino and Bea De Leon all showed up today. It was a slow start for Ponggay Gaston and Kim Gequillana but they did well at the end! Thank you Lord!
#OBF
Deanna Wong is ready for the national team! Her decision-making and distribution improved a lot, she has more maturity and composure and we all know she has very good defense (net and floor).
Before I forget, Thank You Coach Tai for everything! We will never forget the 2 championships you gave us and the heartstrong mantra! May the girls give you a nice farewell by winning the next few games! We will miss you! Kob Khun Kap, Mr. Heart Strong! 💙💪
Fact is, the two best middle duo right now (Maddie & Bea) were ignored heavily and weren’t blue chips. But due to their perseverance and willingness to learn, they are now monster middle blockers. Sometimes, it’s all about faith and patience.
Head to head:
Morado = Wong/Maraguinot (Wong is a very good blocker and digger, Maraguinot can set very well)
Valdez > Gaston
Soriano < De Leon
Gumabao < Tolentino
Galanza > Samonte
Sato < Madayag
Gohing/Atienza > Gequillana/Ravena
Tai = Oliver
#PVLOpenConference
#Finals
We have 3 players who were hailed as POG against La Salle from before; Jho in S77 (sweep game), Kat in S79 and Jules in S79. Means they can do well against La Salle. I hope the team will remove that archrival fear that they have. You can do it girls! We believe in you!
#OBF
🦅💙
Saw videos of that Ateneo HS bully Joaquin Montes. Athletes are supposed to be role models. Whatever happened to using martial arts for the purpose of self defense? I feel bad for the victims. 😢
Ouch, no more Jaja Maraguinot! Good Luck in the PVL!!! Hoping we will be able to get a good setter that has chemistry with Faith, Vanie and AC for next year!
#OBF
💙🦅
We basically hold the scoring, blocking, serving and setting records in the UAAP. So proud of our Queen Eagles Alyssa Valdez, Maddie Madayag, Dzi Gervacio and Jem Ferrer. 😍💙🙌
Gotta give credit to the physical therapists of Ateneo volleyball teams. I mean, seriously, players like Espejo, Morado, Ahomiro, Tolentino, Madayag, etc all had ACL/serious injuries but look what they achieved/are achieving for Ateneo.
Yun na nga nakakatuwa. Bea and Maddie were both raw when they entered Ateneo and look where they are now. Five years ago, if you ask me kung sila magiging best middle tandem, I'd say no. Being a blue chip doesn't guarantee you success. It will still boil down to development.
#PVLOpenConference
Final and Official

One of my favorite pictures ever of her. She rarely shows emotions that’s why seeing this made me cry. She finally won a championship after a colorful collegiate volleyball career.
Happy Birthday to us, Katrina Mae! January 27 babes = 🤘!

Tama sila Jem and Dzi, games like the one last Sunday is one of the reasons why everyone fell in love with the Lady Eagles and why they are the most popular volleyball team. Yung hindi sumusuko and underdog peg. For sure, dadami na naman ang supporters. 💙
Maddie had to wait 2 years to be a starter. Ponggay had to wait 3. Jho had to wait 2 years just to play. Why do you need to rush the progress of the rookies? Please, you don't even attend their trainings for you to know na mas magaling si ganito, si ganyan.
Haha. Okay so I just realized this a while ago. People keep on saying that middles have always been our weakness. But when you look at our middles, 5 of them have awards in the UAAP:
- Charo Soriano
- Bea Pascual
- Amy Ahomiro
- Maddie Madayag
- Bea De Leon
