PLDT gutted out a much-needed win, fending off Galeries' third-set storm to complete a 25-13, 25-23, 23-25, 25-18 win in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference Siklab Series on Saturday at the PhilSports Arena.

The High Speed Hitters crumbled late in Set 3 that allowed the Highrisers to extend the match, but got their acts together in the fourth frame to finish off the game and bolster their semifinals push.

PLDT, which has won four of its last five games after opening the season with a 0-2 card, now carries a 4-3 card to forge a two-way tie at the third spot with Choco Mucho and move behind Nxled (6-0) and Creamline (4-2).

Savi Davison posted 21 points to lead the way despite a series of attack errors during Galeries' third-set rampage, while Kim Kianna Dy and Dell Palomata both chipped in 10 markers.

PLDT claimed contrasting victories in the first two sets, with the High Speed Hitters dominating the Highrisers in attacks in both frames.

Galeries, eager to secure only its second win of the conference, roared back in Set 3 after erasing a 20-22 deficit and turning it into a 24-22 lead courtesy of a 4-0 blast capped by three straight errors from PLDT.

PLDT converted a point on the next play, but Jade Gentapa made the most of her brief appearance by detonating from the left wing to seal the set for Galeries.

The High Speed Hitters made sure Galeries won't be given an opportunity to extend the game into Set 5, racing to a huge 24-15 cushion before Jessa Ordiales closed it out from the right side at 25-18.
