Still one of the best: Aiza Maizo-Pontillas trends after AVC Challenge Cup performance against Indonesia

Philippines lost its second game in the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup against host country Indonesia, 25-17, 25-20, 25-10, but fans got more than enough treat to celebrate one of the greatest to ever do it.

Avid followers gave Aiza Maiza-Pontillas her much-deserved flowers after showing that she's still national team caliber at the age of 35.

"Nang Aiza" even trended in the Philippines during and after the game.

Maizo scored a team-high nine points against Indonesia, and she only played the first two sets before coach Jorge de Brito benched her in the final set.

This only proves that the former UST Golden Tigress can still do the heavy lifting and match against younger players.

Nang Aiza walang kupas. Kayang kaya makipagsabayan sa bagets.

There are those who claim too that the Petro Gazz Angels veteran is the best opposite hitter and national team player the Philippines ever had.

Sobrang saya ng puso ko for Nang Aiza.

Showing she's still one of the best (if not the best) OP... and NT player we ever had! 🥹🥹🥹
