She and I have been communicating well naman, especially with learning what the sets of the spikers are.”</p><p>“She’s familiar with the younger spikers’ sets, I’m more familiar with the seniors, so in that way, mas madali naming naa-adjust &#x27;yung kung ano man &#x27;yung kailangan ng team,” De Guzman ended.</p><p>De Guzman, Coronel, and the rest of Alas will have until Thursday, May 23, to continue with their preparations as they are set to face Australia on that day at 7 p.m. at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3040771"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
