The Cabstars leaned on Joshua Ramilo, who unloaded 15 points built on 14 attacks while also contributing 15 excellent receptions and 10 digs for a triple-double.Dominic Panganiban sparked Cabuyao&#x27;s breakaway in the fourth frame, scoring two in their five unanswered points to turn a slim 16-14 lead into a commanding 21-14 advantage before denying the Airmen&#x27;s late attempt for a comeback. &quot;Malaki yung respeto namin doon sa Air Force, grabe champion team yan, galing sa champion culture talaga so siguro kung paano lang kami magprepare doon lang kami lumamang. Yung pusong gustong manalo, siguro yun yung key namin kung bakit kami nanalo ngayon,&quot; said Cabstars head coach Christian Antiporta.

Meanwhile, PGJC-Navy dealt Savouge RTU Basilan its first loss, 25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-11. The victory pushed the Sealions to a 2-1 record, tied with the Golden Thunders for second to third spots in Pool D. &quot;Yung sinabi ko kasi sa kanila before the game, kahit anong mangyari ilabas lang nila kung anong meron sila. Alam kasi namin binabantayan din kami ng mga tao kasi hindi pa lumalabas yung laro namin, buti nung fourth set lumabas,&quot; said Navy head coach Cecille Cruzada. Lorenz Señoron brought Savouge within two in Set 4, 6-8, off a down-the-line hit. It turned out to be their final stand as Ashley Jacob, Owen Suarez, and Peter Quiel combined to score eight unanswered points to pave the way for the rout.Dela Vega punched in a game-high 19-point effort spread through 13 spikes, three blocks, and three aces laced with nine digs.
