Against All Odds
“On the technical side, there’s nothing too special or creative with this shot. But for someone updated with the happenings around UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball, for me it’s just the pure emotions of these two UE players fighting to the end right in their first game of the season.”

Poetry in Motion
“Shooting with a slower shutter speed gives a blur effect, making it feel more like an expressive piece of art rather than a typical sports photograph. I feel the title fits as the image visually conveys fluidity, rhythm, and the gracefulness of athletic movement.”

Dominance from the NU Bulldogs
“I like the shot with the unexpected moment of NU setter Greg Ancheta making a drop ball, making the rest of the Bulldogs form an adjacent angle.”

Tough setback for Ateneo Blue Eagles
With Geezel Tsunashimina’s injury, her teammates can’t help but burst into tears. Wishing a speedy recovery for the Ateneo standout.

Fly Ybañez
“This shot would have been perfect if the ball had aligned exactly at the top of the letter ‘I.’ I have been trying to achieve that only with Josh Ybañez due to his extraordinary leaping ability and him playing for Alas Pilipinas.”
A speedy recovery as well for the UST star and reigning two-time MVP.

Praises for Mordi
“I love this shot of Mordi smiling after their 5-set victory over Ateneo. I cropped it differently than usual, allowing you to see hands tapping Mordi on the head after her great performance.”
