He felt it from his teammates, who looked to him for leadership both inside and outside the court. And he felt it from within himself, as he wanted to leave a mark in Perpetual Help&#x27;s storied volleyball program.&quot;Sinasabihan kami ni Coach Sammy na hindi kami disiplinado,&quot; Taneo said. &quot;Parang sinasabi niya sa amin na paano kayo makakapag-iwan ng legacy niyan kung ganyan ang attitude niyo.&quot;He consulted with Perpetual Help&#x27;s bevy of former champions, alumni who elevated their volleyball program to new heights. Taneo also looked to his coach for guidance, while establishing himself as the leader of the Altas.Taneo displayed his leadership quality all throughout Season 93, helping the Altas secure a sweep of the elimination round. Most of the credit rightfully went to rookie-MVP Joebert Almodiel, and Season 93 Best Setter Warren Catipay, but it was clear that Taneo was the rock of the Perpetual Help squad.In their final game of the season, with the Season 93 championship on the line, Taneo showed exactly why he was so important to the team, and secured his legacy in their program in the process.Perpetual Help was down by a set against the upstart Arellano University Chiefs, and to make matters worse, they lost Catipay to an untimely foot injury. Acaylar pulled an ace from his sleeve when he had James Bation play as a setter, but when the young player began to make mistakes in the third set, the veteran coach turned to his captain.Taneo, who played as utility all throughout their campaign, calmly took over the playmaking duties. He set up their quickers, Patrick Ramos and Ronniel Rosales, for unstoppable hits, and linked up with Almodiel for attacks as well.All the while, he continued to be their leader. Perpetual Help was down by seven points in the fourth set, but Taneo never stopped encouraging his teammates and reminding them of the little things that they need to do.&quot;Sabi ko lang sa kanila na tapang lang, walang bibigay. Hangga&#x27;t hindi pa umaabot ng 25 &#x27;yan, hindi pa tapos &#x27;yung laban,&quot; he said. &quot;Lamang tayo ng set, kaya walang dapat mape-pressure.&quot;&quot;Dapat masaya lang palagi para walang pressure na papasok sa bawat isa. Dapat magaan lahat,&quot; he added. &quot;At saka &#x27;yung sinasabi ko lang na less errors palagi lalong-lalo na sa service area.&quot;Taneo helped seal the championship for the Altas, as he tossed a perfect pass for Ramos, who swiftly buried the sharp attack that completed Perpetual Help&#x27;s 23-25, 27-25, 25-19, 25-23 triumph on Thursday at the FilOil Flying V Centre.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2018/02/22/perpetual-owns-ncaa-season-93-men-s-volleyball-38023">READ: Perpetual owns NCAA Season 93 men&#x27;s volleyball</a></li></ul>The graduating skipper finished with 11 points, 22 excellent sets, and seven digs, as he seamlessly switched positions – depending on what the Altas needed him to do. For his efforts, Taneo earned Finals MVP honors and graduated as a three-time champion.&quot;Noong nawala &#x27;yung main setter namin, tinake lang namin as challenge &#x27;yun,&quot; Taneo said after the game.&quot;Kasi before kami nag-pray kanina, sabi ko sa prayer namin na guide niya kami sa struggles and challenges na mangyayari mamaya sa game, kasi hindi talaga mawawala &#x27;yung ganung bagay,&quot; he added.&quot;Kaya ayun, tinake lang namin as challenge, tsaka nilagyan lang namin ng puso, pride at saka tapang sa paglalaro.&quot;For Acaylar, it was no surprise to see Taneo step up in splendid fashion. The veteran coach fully trusted his players, none more than the captain who visibly took charge after every point to pump up his teammates.&quot;Wala akong (doubt) sa mga bata ko,&quot; said the coach. &quot;Lahat sila nandiyan so lahat sila pinagkakatiwalaan ko.&quot;With the indoor championship now in the bag, Taneo will now turn his attention to the NCAA beach volleyball tournament. Perpetual Help is the defending champion, as Taneo had teamed up with older brother Relan to win the Season 92 crown. This time around, he will be teaming up with Almodiel as they gun for back-to-back titles.(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.)
