Choco Mucho crowd-darling Deanna Wong beat the trio of Creamline stars by a mile for the Fan Favorite award in an online poll conducted by the Premier Volleyball League Press Corps.
The Flying Titans setter garnered 24,000 reactions on the PVL Press Corps Facebook page, way ahead of Jema Galanza (12,000), Alyssa Valdez (10,000) and Bea De Leon (6,400) in the poll presented by ArenaPlus.
Wong will formally be recognized during the first-ever PVL Press Corps Awards Night on 28 May at the Novotel Hotel.
Wong’s win came as no surprise with her legion of 866,000 followers on Facebook, 1.4 million followers on Instagram, and 2.4 million followers on TikTok rallying behind her.
Fans also got to decide the Pilipinas Live Game of the Year as they handed the recognition to the nail-biter PVL All-Filipino Conference quarterfinals Game 2 clash between PLDT and Choco Mucho.
The Flying Titans won the cardiac showdown by a hairline 25-15, 12-25, 25-23, 21-25, 15-13 to secure a semifinals seat last 20 March at the Philsports Arena.
Highlighted by the exciting faceoff between Choco Mucho’s Sisi Rondina and High Speed Hitters ace Savi Davison, the nerve-wracking match received the most reactions on the PVL Press Corps’ Facebook page during the voting period from 2 to 16 May.
The epic five-set duel drew 3,100 Facebook reactions, besting Creamline’s grand slam coronation when it survived Cignal in the 2024 PVL Invitational Conference Final (1,200), Petro Gazz’s title-clinching win over the Cool Smashers in the 2024-25 AFC Finals Game 3 and Russian Marina Tushova’s 50-point explosion in Capital1’s quarterfinal defeat to the HD Spikers in the 2024 Reinforced Conference.
Meanwhile, Chery Tiggo will be feted with the Fair Play award after being granted the most green cards — a total of six — in the Reinforced and All-Filipino Conferences.
The first-ever pro champions of the league organized by Sports Vision will be recognized for their sportsmanship and high respect for the game. The Crossovers edged Akari by just one green card.
PVL fans will also have the power to choose the Star of the Night, which will be given to the most dazzling player on the red carpet at the formal Awards Night.
The nominee with the most reactions on the PVL PC Facebook will bag the award.
