But PLDT had no plans of giving more opportunities for a comeback and scored nine straight points, 16-6—a lead that opened a window for Kim Kianna Dy’s long-awaited debut after a long road to recovery from knee injury since July 20, 2023 when she was still with defunct F2 Logistics.

“When it comes down to it, we can’t say what effect that will have on the price. But as far as we think, the increase is not that substantial,” BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. said in an interview on Wednesday, October 2.

In an interview with the Inquirer on Tuesday, BDONB president Jesus Antonio Itchon said the Basco branch would open by the first half of 2025.

She signed with the High Speed Hitters in January 2024 after the disbandment of the Cargo Movers.

“Super excited [to return].I haven’t played the game for more than a year now and to be with new teammates,” Dy said.

But that changed the momentum and allowed Cignal to cut the deficit slowly, 21-19, before Baron and Davison decided enough was enough.

It was only the second loss of the HD Spikers in seven games as Vanie Gandler’s 22 points went down the drain. Jackie Acuña and Ishie Lalongisip also finished with 14 and 12 points, respectively.

Lalongisip was also present on the defense with 14 excellent digs, Gel Cayuna had 14 excellent sets and Dawn Macandili-Catindig had 19 excellent digs.
