Games today:

(Smart Araneta Coliseum)

3 p.m. — Chery Tiggo vs Farm Fresh

5 p.m. — F2 Logistics vs Akari

7 p.m. — Petro Gazz vs Galeries Tower

Powerhouse Petro Gazz welcomes expansion team Galeries Tower as four other clubs make their debut in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference today at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Cohesion and chemistry forged through years of experience will be the biggest edge of the star-studded Angels when they meet the Highrisers in the main game of the triple-bill playdate at 7 p.m.

But Galeries Tower is no pushover.

The Highrisers may be one of the two newcomers in the 12-club field but the Lerma Giron-mentored squad is composed of veteran players all raring to strut their stuff.

Dimdim Pacres, the 2017 Reinforced Conference Best Opposite Spiker, is making her first appearance in the pro ranks for Galeries Tower backed by a seasoned crew led by skipper Fhen Emnas, Graze Bombita, Rapril Aguilar, Anne Esguerra, Noriell Ipac, Roma Joy Doromal and Cherilyn Sindayen.

"We may be the youngest team, a baby team. But this baby team will definitely fight. We're not just here to participate, we're here to win, and give our opponents a good fight," Giron said.

However, pulling off an upset of Petro Gazz is easier said than done.

The runners-up of the first serving of the All-Filipino Conference are determined for another crack at the crown despite some changes it had during the break.

Timmy Sto. Tomas will make his debut as Petro Gazz head coach taking over the reins of now volleyball operations head Oliver Almadro.
