Meanwhile, defending champion Perpetual Altas will aim to extend their title reign in the Men's Volleyball Tournament as they face the EAC Generals in the best-of-three finals.
After sweeping the elimination round, the Perpetual Altas moved an inch closer to claiming their fourth straight title in the tournament. All set to steer the ship of Coach Sammy Acaylar’s squad are Louie Ramirez, Jeff Marapoc, and John Pepito.
The EAC Generals, on the other hand, have proven that they have prepared well this season as they secure a spot in the finals round.
