Not only dun sa kung ano&#x27;ng pwede nilang ibigay. &#x27;Guro &#x27;yung give and take din namin sa isa&#x27;t isa, and actually, marami pa rin kaming hinahanap, marami pa kaming gusto,&quot; said Delos Santos.But for now, in the words of Delos Santos, they are &quot;so happy&quot; with this breakthrough. The HD Spikers missed out the playoffs in the 2024-25 All-Filipino Conference, but here they are, advancing to the PVL on Tour semis.&quot;But, we&#x27;re so happy kung nasaan man kami ngayon dahil nakikita namin kung sa&#x27;n pa kami papunta at ano pa &#x27;yung pwedeng marating namin. And looking forward pa rin sa mga gagawin namin, sa tatrabahuhin namin, and invest talaga kami sa lahat ng kailangan pa naming i-work out,&quot; he said.
