MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine men’s volleyball team finally gets the attention it deserves and we are all here for it.

Filipinos witnessed history on Sunday, December 8 as the Philippines dethrones Thailand in 5 sets, 17-25, 25-20, 23-25, 27-25, 17-15, to reach their first Southeast Asian Games men’s volleyball gold medal match in 42 years. 

Members of the national men’s volleyball team tweeted their gratitude for all the support from fellow Filipinos.

It was an emotional moment for sports fans and spectators as Philippine men’s volleyball, which usually plays second fiddle to women’s action, finally takes the spotlight.

Even the women’s volleyball players couldn’t help but express their appreciation for the men’s national team’s historic feat.
