PVL Media BureauMANILA — Creamline star Bernadeth Pons is warning against complacency as the Cool Smashers go up 1-0 in the best-of-three Finals series against Cignal in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.</div>Moving to a win away from completing a redemption tour in the all-Pinoy tilt, Pons hopes the team stays grounded and &quot;not think&quot; that they are about to win it all.&quot;Unang-una, siyempre, sobrang happy na makabalik ulit sa finals. And, sobrang happy din na nakuha namin &#x27;yung Game 1 ngayon. Pero, sabi nga ni coach [Sherwin Meneses], hindi pa tapos &#x27;yung laban,&quot; said Pons, who had 11 points and 15 digs in the triumph, showcasing her two-way game once again.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2026/4/21/pvl-creamline-dominates-cignal-with-game-1-sweep-inches-closer-to-all-filipino-crown-2032">READ: PVL: Creamline dominates Cignal in Game 1 sweep, inches closer to All-Filipino crown </a></div>The Far Eastern University (FEU) product is wary of the tests the Super Spikers had given Creamline this conference.Cignal took down Creamline in the semifinals, 25-13, 13-25, 25-16, 25-16, as well as in the qualifying round, 25-21, 24-26, 18-25, 25-22, 17-15.&quot;So, &#x27;yun, di kami pwedeng makampante. Kasi nga, given naman dun sa mga past game namin against Cignal, sobrang tiyaga din talaga nila,&quot; she said. &quot;So, talagang tatrabahuhin pa namin para makuha din namin &#x27;yung next game.&quot;Pons hopes to take the crown as a payoff for all the sacrifices they have given this tournament.&quot;Ayun nga, ayaw namin din talaga na masayang &#x27;yung sacrifices namin, &#x27;yung effort namin since nag-start &#x27;yung training. January 2 pa lang, bumalik na kami para mag-ensayo for this conference. Ang daming struggle ng team. Hindi naging madali para sa amin &#x27;yung conference na ito,&quot; she said.&quot;So, ngayon, nasa finals na kami. Sobrang gusto namin i-grab &#x27;yung opportunity na meron kami.&quot;Game 2 is on Thursday, April 23, also at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
