Chery Tiggo outplayed an erratic PLDT side with a 25-22, 25-16, 25-20 victory on Tuesday night, April 16, to firm up its semifinal bid in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

Sisters Eya and EJ Laure combined for 17 kills to finish with 12 and 10 points, respectively, in pacing the Crossovers, who stretched their winning run to five games to improve to a 7-2 win-loss record.
The victory not only halted PLDT’s five-game winning streak but created a four-way logjam at second place with the High Speed Hitters, the Creamline Cool Smashers and the Petro Gazz Angels.
They trail solo leader Choco Mucho, which totes an 8-1 mark.
The Crossovers needed one hour and 32 minutes in dispatching the High Speed Hitters, who fell into a maze of errors and gave up 27 points in the process.
Eya Laure also joined forces with Ara Galang in providing Chery Tiggo’s rock-solid net defense, conspiring for five of the team’s eight blocks.
The Crossovers’ win overshadowed the efforts of Savi Davison, who tried to lift PLDT to victory by pouncing on 22 points that went futile.
Thepageant aims to showcase the most talented, beautiful and intelligent ladies the province has to offer.
Limgas Na Pangasinan 2024 candidates with Limgas Na Pangasinan 2023 queens
Twenty young hopefuls vying for the beauty titles at stake in Limgas Na Pangasinan 2024 were presented to the media last Sunday (March 17) at the stately Monarch Hotel in the town of Calasiao. The pageant aims to showcase the most talented, beautiful and intelligent ladies the province has to offer. Three of them will be crowned queens on April 26 as a highlight of the annual Pista'ý Dayat or Sea Festival celebrations.
The ladies exhibited poise, confidence and charm as they paraded on stage in pristine white cocktail dresses. They were also sashed by their respective local executives. In the question and answer portion with members of the media, they shared the causes they stand for and articulated their insights on issues affecting their respective hometowns and beyond.
Three of them will embark on an exciting journey if they are chosen for the top titles, namely Limgas Na Pangasinan World, Limgas na Pangasinan Mutya and Limgas na Pangasinan Grand. The three title holders will represent the province in national pageants which are Miss World, Mutya ng Pilipinas, and Miss Grand International.

Aside from being crowned, the winners will also be entitled to hefty cash prizes and get the chance to work with three well-known designers. Their local governments will also receive financial grants to support their chosen projects.
"We aim that this pageant will have purpose, will have a heart, and will teach the ladies to have their own purpose through their advocacies. And of course, a heart to serve the province of Pangasinan. We hope that our pageant will show the Philippines, show everyone what Pangasinan is all about," noted the pageant's chairperson and Pangasinan First Lady Maan Tuazon-Guico.
She pointed out that she is closely working with her husband, Gov. Ramon Guico, on a number of projects that will "uplift the culture, arts, and tourism of the province. With Limgas na Pangasinan, we have enlisted the help of Aces and Queens, a beauty camp that provides training and coaching to pageant candidates."

A winner of the Australian and French Open junior doubles plums and a US Open junior singles crown in 2022, the globe-hopping Eala highlighted her flourishing career with a pair of bronze medals in the women’s singles and mixed doubles in the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games last October.
The pretty 18-year-old southpaw has also won four titles and two runner-up finishes as a pro on the ITF Women’s World Tennis Tour and currently boasts a career-high of No. 176 in ITF women ratings.
Bolden has been the offensive linchpin of the Filipinas over the last six years, appearing in 44 international matches and scoring 28 goals since making her debut with the national women’s football team in 2018.
The awards night designed to honor the nation’s top women athletes and women sport heroes was conceptualized by the Philippine Sports Commission-Women In Sports under the office of PSC Commissioner Olivia "Bong" Coo.
The awardees were nominated by the national sports associations under the Philippine Olympic Committee and went through a stringent selection process by the five-man judges panel. Stephen Fernandez of the Philippine Olympians Association, Nikko Huelgas of the POC Athletes Commission, Judith Staples of Masters Athletics, Carlo Sampan of Milo Philippines and Judith Caringal from the sports media comprise the judges panel, which made sure that all awardees are deserving.
They came up with the criteria for selection with support from the Philippine Commission on Women.
After a series of thorough deliberations among the judges, the awardees were chosen from the list of nearly 200 nominees across 78 sports based on their contribution to the promotion and development of their sport apart from being the top woman achiever in their sport last year.
In 2021, Bolden powered the Filipinas in securing their first FIFA World Cup appearance in reaching the semifinals of the AFC Women’s Cup in India in January then led them to the AFF Women’s Championship at the Rizal Memorial Stadium a few months later.
In PH side’s World Cup debut, she scored the “shot” heard around the world - a hammering header in lifting the Filipinas to a monumental 1-0 upset of the New Zealand Ferns in front of a stunned hometown crowd at the Sky Stadium in Wellington on July 25, 2023.
“The decision to award both Eala and Bolden as Athletes of the Year was quite unanimous. Both are deserving of recognition for not only making us proud of their achievements but also for serving as positive role models as Filipina athletes,” said PSC Commissioner Bong Coo.
These two outstanding athletes will headline tonight’s grand program jointly organized by the Philippine Commission on Women in partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission, and backed by Milo, CEL Logistics and Wrist Pod.
A total of 46 major awards will also be distributed to athletes in various disciplines, five Flame Awards and seven Lifetime Achieve Awards, which will be given to past athletic performers whose sterling legacies are worth recalling until today.
The Lifetime Achievement Awardees are bowler Olivia “Bong” Coo, track and field standouts Elma Muros-Posadas, Erlinda Lavandia and the late Lydia de Vega, back-to-back Asian Games 100-meter sprint queen, powerlifter Adeline Dumapong and gymnast and taekwondo jin Bea Lucero-Lhuillier.
Special citations will also be given out to National Academy of Sports executive director Joy Reyes, noted trainer-nutritionist Veronica Cruz, nutritionist Jeaneth Aro, sports psychologist Karen Trinidad, sportscaster Dyan Castillejo and Women in Sports Advocate Sen. Pia Cayetano.
Also invited to grace the festive occasion are PSC Chair Richard Bachmann and Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go, Senate Sports Committee Chair, who will deliver separate inspirational messages.
