MANILA, Philippines – Myra Pablo admitted that Petro Gaz couldn’t match the aggression No. 7 Zus Coffee Thunderbelles demonstrated when the Angels fell on the brink of elimination at the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
With a 10-game winning streak, No. 2 Petro Gazz suddenly misses the semi-finals after absorbing a stunning 21-25, 23-25, 25-27 defeat to Play-In survivor Zus Coffee in the quarter-finals at the Philsport Arena on Tuesday night.

After being blocked by Jobellin Gonzaga and finished the third set of expansion, Pablo admitted that the one-year-old club has proven everyone is a game in a three-person series.
In contrast, Pablo said the angels lack the same aggression.
“We thought we could pull it off in the first and second sets, but we thought Zus was actually offensive.
