Valdez on Die-or-Die Match with La Salle: Double the Effort.

Valdez eager in final’s game 2. The Ateneo Eagles are in a very tough fight in the UAAP Season 78 women’s volleyball championships as they either achieve their much-worked three-feat win or lose the title for a comeback for their arch rivals the De La Salle spikers.

However, for Ateneo star player Alyssa Valdez is confident that her team has the ability to perform better despite losing in the straight set to La Salle during the first meeting in the finals.

“We just really need to loosen up as a team, just enjoy the game, be happy and play for our teammates, for our coaches and for the people who support us.” she said.

On Wednesday, April 27, it is going to do-or-die match for the Lady Eagles against the Lady Spikers. If they win against La Salle, there will be a deciding game on Saturday but if failed to sustain the team’s eagerness, La Salle may end it the season’s finale early as Wednesday.

Although she was complimentary of La Salle’s performance, Valdez admitted that that the Lady Eagles lacked confident and the killer instinct during their 3-set loss and they will try to get it back in the next face off.

Although Valdez was a game-high pointer in the game, she will be needing the rest of the team to happily work as one to redeem the next match.

With the happy mood they always play, Ateneo has to double their effort if they really want to end the season with a three-feat win starting from the last two seasons or let the title fly back to La Salle.

Third Debate

In the photo which she posted on social media, Davila referred to Duterte as the leading presidential candidate and that he can handle the toughest questions.

Davila explained that she had to ask Duterte the hard questions because she sees him as the toughest, however she later added that the photo she posted doesn’t mean that she is endorsing the mayor as her presidential bet.

Davila who moderated the last debate gained a lot of criticisms most especially from social media users for allegedly throwing the hardest questions to Duterte.

Netizens claimed that the anchorwoman flared the most personal questions to Duterte compared to former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas and Vice President Jejomar Binay, even referring to Davila as bias.

In the “Fast Talk” segment of the third and the last presidential debate that was aired in ABS-CBN on April 24, Davila asked Duterte if there is any member of his family that was involved in dr_g use, and if there is, what will he do?

Netizens fired against Davila for her follow up question noting that she could have asked others too with personal questions.

In explanation, Davila reiterated that she wasn’t able to fire other questions towards Roxas and the other candidates because of the time limit. It can be remembered that the presidential candidates only have particular time for the “Fast Talk,” while some of the candidates explained much regarding their answer in one question— the time to ask for more questions was compromised.

Davila added that there were more questions that she missed to ask to the candidates.

Davila furthermore thanked those netizens who recognized that she was just doing her job as a debate moderator.

Earlier, Davila was also praised and criticized for pounding Senatorial runner Alma Moreno in an interview to which Moreno said she is thankful to Davila.
