MANILA —  PLDT remained to be in peak form, clinching its 10th win in a row in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL)

The On Tour champions thwarted Cignal, 25-19, 25-13, 25-22, in the 2025 Invitational on Saturday for a franchise-best 10-game winning streak.

"Hindi talaga namin naiisip 'yung walang talo, kasi tini-treat talaga natin siya game by game," said captain Kath Arado during the postgame press conference.

A balanced attack from the PLDT crew paved the way for the three-set win, led by Fil-Canadian star spiker Savi Davison with 17 points including 14 attacks, seven excellent receptions and six excellent digs.

Rookie Alleiah Malaluan, continued shining with 12 points just a game after her PVL debut, while Kim Kianna Dy registered 11 points, and Majoy Baron delivered 10 markers and three blocks.

Playmaker Kim Fajardo orchestrated that offense with 19 excellent sets, as libero Arado did her job by putting up 11 excellent digs and eight excellent receptions.

Alas Pilipinas middle blocker Dell Palomata also returned to PVL action after missing their On Tour campaign.

As the High Speed Hitters rose to 3-0 record in the Invitational, their sister squad HD Spikers fell to a 0-3 slate.

It was an unfortunate outcome for the sliding Cignal, but had a bright spot in On Tour MVP Erika Santos.

Santos notched 10 points, the sole HD Spiker in twin-digit scoring.

Just when Cignal was trying to get one set, leading at the 16-19 mark in Set 3, the High Speed Hitters answered back with a massive, game-clinching 9-3 run, highlighted by an Arado reception that became an attack point.

Malaluan put PLDT to match point with an off-speed hit, 24-22, as Jessa Ordiales' spike went out, closing out the match that almost reached one hour and 30 minutes.

PLDT battles visiting Japanese squad Kobe Shinwa on Monday, while Cignal hopes to regain winning ways against Zus Coffee.
