That’s the captain, alright.
The Choco Mucho Flying Titans made their first-ever PVL finals appearance in the recently concluded Second All-Filipino Conference. And nope, they weren’t just wall flowers in the big dance. They almost crashed the Creamline Cool Smashers’ party.
Along with the remarkable breakthrough came a noticeable change in the team’s aura. Under the guidance of coach Dante Alinsunurin, backed by the firepower of MVP Sisi Rondina, the ladies in purple hit different, pun intended.
After the historic Game 2 of the championship series, the Smart Araneta Coliseum was flooded by a downpour of emotions from both sides. The Cool Smashers started crying and hugging each other, and so did the Flying Titans, who took home the silver medal.
When the cameras panned to Choco Mucho captain Bea de Leon, she had her arms wrapped around teammates Isa Molde and Regine Arocha. BDL shared the emotional video on her Instagram Story and wrote an encouraging message to them.
“So proud of the both of you for stepping up when the team need it most. Alam niyo na lahat Love you both, @isamolde, @reginearochaaa,” said the Ateneo Blue Eagles product.
Arocha also re-shared the post and reciprocated the love from her captain.
“Love you always, bei!,” wrote the former NCAA standout.
BDL is definitely correct in saying that Molde and Arocha came up huge in the Flying Titans’ title bid. As great as Alinsunurin and Rondina have been for their squad, Choco Mucho wouldn’t have been as successful if not for the stellar support provided by players like Isa and Regine.
