Ateneo did the trick in the 1976 season, while San Sebastian has done it five times — in 1984, 1994, 1995, 1997, and 2002.The Altas and the Junior Altas are favored to win their respective title series after sweeping the elimination round.Perpetual Help is set to face Saint Benilde in the men&#x27;s finals. The Sammy Acaylar-coached squad has dominated men&#x27;s volleyball, winning six titles in the past 8 seasons.The Junior Altas, who will face the Letran Squires in their own championship series, are eyeing a 5-peat.Their women&#x27;s team will be the underdog against Arellano, however, as the Lady Chiefs have won 3 of the past 4 titles including back-to-back crowns.<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
