“Ganoon pa rin, review lang namin iyong ginagawa nila, kung ano iyong weaknesses at tsaka strength nila then focus kami siguro sa blockings naming,” Esteban said.
“Medyo nawala kami doon sa blocking namin. So, iyon na lang siguro muna iyong i-ano namin, i-improve namin,” he added.

With a 2-1 mark, Choco Mucho will rely on reinforcement Odina Aliyeva, Kat Tolentino, Cherry Nunag, Des Cheng, Maika Ortiz, Deanna Wong and Denden Lazaro-Revilla.
