In the Leg 2 opener on Friday night at Chiang Mai Stadium, Alas Pilipinas is swept by host-and-first-leg champion Thailand in a three-set match, 25-19, 25-17, 25-19. Earlier in Leg 1, the Philippines had pushed Thailand to a five-set contest in Hanoi, but in the opener in Chiang Mai, Thailand wins in just over an hour. Thailand is described as making quick work of the Philippines, while Sasipapron Janthawisut—named Leg 1 MVP and Best Outside Spiker—leads Thailand’s scoring with 10 points on eight successful attacks. The Philippines’ roster includes Alyssa Solomon, Bella Belen, Eya Laure, and captain Jia De Guzman as the team aims for a stronger showing in the remaining matches of the tournament leg.
