Trisha Tubu credited trust in coaches and teammates for her career-high 33-point performance in the Farm Fresh Foxies' four-set win over the Galeries Tower Highrisers.
Trisha Tubu delivered a monster performance to lead Farm Fresh past Galeries Tower, scoring a career-high 33 points in a four-set victory, 28-26, 17-25, 25-19, 25-17, in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, January 30.
Despite her stellar outing, Tubu remained grounded, emphasizing that her success resulted from trust in her teammates, coaches, and the system they had built.
"Ako naman, ‘yung tiwala ko talaga sa coaches namin. Unang-una sa sistema namin at sa mga kasama ko talaga, nandoon. Sabi kasi nila sa akin, nasa likod ko lang sila, so ‘wag ako mag-alala. Kaya ‘yun, nagtiwala lang ako sa kanila, sa sistema namin, at sa decision-making ng coaches namin," Tubu said during the post-game press conference.
Acknowledging the confidence placed in her by head coach Benson Bocboc and team owner Frank Lao, the Adamson standout expressed her gratitude and commitment to repaying that trust through her efforts on the court.
“Dun pa lang, solve na ako. Ayoko pong masira ‘yung tiwala sa akin. Kaya hangga’t nandiyan ako sa loob, hangga’t kaya kong mag-contribute, talagang magko-contribute ako para rin sa team ko,” Tubu emphasized.

Tubu, who previously won the Best Opposite Hitter award during the 2024 Reinforced Conference, downplayed individual accolades, stating that her primary goal is to help Farm Fresh rack up victories.
The Foxies currently sit with a 4-4 record, tied with the Akari Chargers and ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles.
"Actually po, nakalimutan ko na po ‘yung award na ‘yun sa totoo lang. Kasi ‘yung goal ko po ngayon talaga is maging efficient po every time na nasa court ako at makatulong sa team," she explained.
"Siguro po kung mabigyan ulit nun, bonus ‘yun. Pero ang pinaka-goal ko talaga is one step at a time—makuha ‘yung every win. Kasi aanuhin mo ang award kung ang team mo naman is talo, ‘di ba?,” Tubu added.
