On Thursday afternoon, Marck Espejo was at the GOR Bulungan in Jakarta, this time watching his girlfriend, Kim Kianna Dy, play for the Philippines against Hong Kong.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/23/18/asian-games-ph-gets-breakthrough-win-in-volleyball">Breakthrough win for Pinays in Asian Games volleyball</a></li></ul>The five-time UAAP men’s volleyball MVP from Ateneo went straight from the concert to the airport, and arrived at the venue with the Philippines already on its way to its first victory in the Asian Games.Espejo actually missed most of the first and second sets, where Dy played heavy minutes, but got to watch his girlfriend score the match-winner before reuniting with her after the game.“Wala, &#x27;di ko naabutan, sayang. Pero OK lang, last point naabutan ko, &#x27;di ba? Siya &#x27;yung last point,” said Espejo.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Guess who’s here to surprise <a href="https://twitter.com/KiannaDy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KiannaDy</a> <a href="https://t.co/V6juRw68rS">pic.twitter.com/V6juRw68rS</a>— Camille B.

When he found out this development, he immediately booked a ticket to Jakarta to see Dy.“Hanggang Monday na ako dito,” said Espejo, who plans to watch the Philippines’ game against hosts Indonesia as well.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
