MANILA, Philippines —When Choco Mucho went down 0-5 to PLDT in the fifth set putting the team’s winning streak in peril, coach Dante Alinsunurin didn’t call a time-out.

Not doubting his players one second, Alinsunurin let his Flying Titans figure out how to get out of that hole themselves.

And Sisi Rondina and Co. did just that, as the Flying Titans pulled off a come-from-behind 25-20, 23-25, 18-25, 25-17, 15-12 win over PLDT–their eighth straight–that secured a semifinal berth in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) second All-Filipino Conference.
