MPVA/HandoutMANILA — Dasma Monarchs and Biñan Tatak Gel Arellano U Lady Chiefs lock horns to draw first blood in the best-of-three finals of the 2025 Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA) on Wednesday at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.</div>Unbeaten throughout the tourney, the Monarchs—looming as the undisputed heavy favorite with their perfect campaign so far entering the finals—hope to pass the Lady Chiefs&#x27; test.Dasma, albeit a new club, wiped out the two-round elimination and the semifinal series against the Negros ICC Blue Hawks for a 16-0 slate so far.And the Monarchs have no plan of stopping anytime soon in an ultimate bid to score the first season sweep in the three seasons of the MPVA so far.Aside from a homecourt advantage in the series with two games in Dasma to achieve it, the Monarchs also pose a heavy edge in manpower with the full backing of the mighty National U Lady Bulldogs.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2025/11/27/dasma-binan-inch-closer-to-mpva-finals-1643">READ: Dasma, Binan inch closer to MPVA Finals</a></div>NU, led by team captain Vange Alinsug and super rookie Sam Cantada, is the three-time champion in the UAAP and four-peat titlist in the Shakey’s Super League – thus looking to add the MPVA to its dynasty even in what’s supposedly a rebuilding era without Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon.But Biñan, as a huge underdog it may be, is out to give Dasma a run for its own money.The Lady Chiefs earned every right to challenge the mighty Monarchs, especially after dethroning reigning champion Quezon Tangerines in the other bracket.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2025/12/6/mpva-binan-dethrones-quezon-arranges-final-clash-with-perfect-dasma-2006">READ: MPVA: Binan dethrones Quezon, arranges final clash with perfect Dasma</a></div>Led by Laika Tudlasan and Crisanta Servidad, Biñan pulled off a reverse sweep on Quezon, 19-25, 19-25, 25-21, 25-12, 15-8, in Game 3 of the semis series last weekend.It’s a fitting revenge for the Lady Chiefs, who absorbed 0-2 sweep in last season’s finals against the Tangerines represented by the four-peat NCAA champion College of St. Benilde Lady Blazers.Quezon will try to go for the consolation prize against Negros on Sunday at the Dasmariñas Arena before the Game 2 of the finals for the bronze medal.
