Brooke Van Sickle, Myla Pablo, and MJ Phillips are expected to play crucial roles, having reasserted themselves on both ends of the court with their trademark blocking and timely hits.
Petro Gazz will also rely on the playmaking of setter Chie Saet and the steady presence of Jonah Sabete and Aiza Maizo-Pontillas as they aim to stop Creamline’s five-peat bid in the All-Filipino.
