“Ako po naman is yung tiwala ko talaga sa coaches namin. Unang-una sa sistema namin and sa mga kasama ko talaga dun,” Tubu said after carving the career performance from 28 attacks, four aces and a block to help Farm Fresh to the bounce back win.

“Sabi kasi nila sakin nasa likod ko lang sila so wag ako magalala kaya nagtiwala lang ako sa kanila tsaka sa sistema namin and sa decision-making ng coaches namin,” Tubu added.

The game also marked the return of veteran hitter Rachel Anne Daquis, who came off the bench in the first two frames to end up with just a point.

With the return of Daquis, Farm Fresh’s roster is slowly being completed as Dela Cruz also just returned from an injury-induced break.
