MANILA, Philippines — Savi Davison went all the way to the stands to offer her success to her relatives after receiving her first-ever PVL MVP and leading PLDT to its second straight championship on Sunday night at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

“They’re a big reason why I’m here. They’re the closest I can get to my mom right now. So, I feel like sharing this moment with them, having them support me through,” said Davison after pouring in 20 points on top of 18 excellent receptions and nine digs in a 21-25, 31-29, 25-22, 25-18 win over Japan’s Kobe Shinwa University.

“When I even started volleyball, is a big thing and to finally come back full circle and have this moment in front of them means a lot to me. So, I’m glad that I can share it with them and have them part of the journey.”

Aside from her family, Davison also attributed her achievement to her PLDT teammates, coaches and management.

PLDT, which improved to 13-0 dating back to the On Tour, became the first team to sweep two consecutive PVL tournaments.

Their strong connection led them to regroup following a tough first-set loss before staving off the young but gritty Japanese in the last three sets.

“You need to hear things from every place. You need to trust each other. So as much as I want to say, like, I was locked in, it had to be everybody that was locked in. Coaching staff, bench, whatever it was, we all had to know what was going on, to make sure that we handled this properly,” she said.

“I’m glad that it was well executed. I’m glad that it went the way it did. So, I’m just happy and I’m blessed to be here.”

After her first MVP and two titles, Davison and PLDT have no plans of slowing down with the Reinforced Conference coming up in October.

“I think the hard part now is just not to get comfortable. A lot of people make it great and then kind of fall off. So, I think our job from here on out is not to kind of look back and see how hard. Recognize how hard it was to get here, but what it looks like from here on out,” the Fil-Canadian ace said.

“There’s going to be a lot more sacrifices. A lot more days that we don’t want to show up, but we do. A lot more blood, sweat, and tears. So, all I can speak about is how we can maintain that going forward and how we can thrive from here on out.”
