Creamline vs Choco Mucho: A Premier Volleyball Showdown at MOA Arena

The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) 2026 All-Filipino Conference will feature a highly anticipated match between sister teams Creamline Cool Smashers and Choco Mucho Flying Titans on Tuesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. The match is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and is expected to be intense, with both teams fielding strengthened lineups.

Creamline, a ten-time champion with a 0-1 record, will have its complete championship lineup available. Key players Jia de Guzman, Jema Galanza, and Bernadeth Pons are returning from national team duties, injury, and beach volleyball commitments, respectively. They will join core players Alyssa Valdez, Michele Gumabao, and Tots Carlos. The team is looking to rebound from a straight-set loss (25-22, 25-17, 25-23) to the PLDT High Speed Hitters in its conference opener, a match where only Pons (13 points) and Carlos (11 points) scored in double digits and the team appeared out of rhythm.

Choco Mucho, holding a 1-1 record, will be led by Sisi Rondina, its primary offensive weapon who recently scored 16 points in a win over Akari. Rondina is now reunited with former University of Santo Tomas teammate Eya Laure, strengthening the team's wing rotation. Historically, Choco Mucho has only one win against Creamline in 19 head-to-head matchups, with its sole victory dating back to April 30, 2024.

In another conference matchup, the undefeated Cignal team (2-0) will aim for a third consecutive win against Farm Fresh (0-1). Cignal will rely on the offense of Erika Santos, while Farm Fresh plans to increase the involvement of Trisha Tubu.
