MANILA, Philippines – In one of the more unexpected outcomes in Philippine volleyball, the hastily assembled Alas Pilipinas women’s team barreled into the pages of history, winning its first medal in the Asian Volleyball Confederation at the end of the 2024 Challenge Cup on Wednesday, May 29. “It feels surreal.
