CAGAYAN DE ORO — The Gerflor Defenders may have remained winless in eight games after getting swept by the Akari Chargers but coach Sammy Acaylar finally got recognition from his hometown.
Calling shots for a volleyball team in the City of Golden Friendship is no longer new for Acaylar as it is the place where he grew up before becoming one of the brightest minds in Philippine volleyball. But only a few recognize him as a homegrown coach.

CAGAYAN DE ORO — Wherever the Creamline Cool Smashers go, their fans follow.
The mountain-top venue in the City of Golden Friendship seemed like the home court of the Cool Smashers with 9,682 spectators giving them an electric atmosphere, which boosted them to stay unbeaten in seven games in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) second All-Filipino Conference.
The Cagayanon fans showered the crowd-favorite Creamline with deafening cheers as superstars Alyssa Valdez and Jema Galanza joined hands to sweep PLDT, 25-23, 25-21, 25-19, on Saturday at Aquilino Q. Pimentel International Convention Center.
