Alas Pilipinas rises to no. 46 in FIVB women's world rankings

Alas Pilipinas on Saturday rose to no. 46 in the FIVB women's world rankings. Before the AVC Nations Cup, the women's national volleyball team was at no. 56. According to Asian Volleyball Confederation head and Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon 'Tats' Suzara, the past three years have shown that the program is working for the national team. 'The past three years was all upward for our national program in all disciplines—volleyball and beach—thanks to the support of our stakeholders," Suzara said in a statement. Last year, Alas claimed bronze in the AVC Challenge Cup, and now the Philippines has a chance for the gold medal in the same but rebranded tournament AVC Nations Cup. "Last year, our best brought us to the bronze, and this time, it's going to bring us to higher heights,' Alas Pilipinas team captain Jia De Guzman said. 'So we're just going to bring our best again—and no matter what, this is for the country.' Alas will take on Vietnam in the finals on Saturday night. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
