Unfortunately, the second stage ended with a 1-3 record, in which he did not repeat his sweep from Vietnam in the first stage held in Candon, Ilocos Sur. The Filipinos became fourth in both feet this year, after a 2-2 finish in Candon.
Jade Disquitado led the injuries-sweeked team by scoring with 17 points in their last game.
Unfortunately, Pilipinas remained faltering due to the absence of Marck Espejo, who was sidelined due to an injury from the AVC Challenge Cup, and Bryan Bagunas, who has had to return since last year a knee injury.
Buds Buddin added 13 points, while Leo Ordiales, the best opposite spiker of the first leg, deployed against Vietnam in 12.
Vietnam achieved a 2-2 record and assured himself of at least a bronze medal. It still has a chance to take silver, depending on the result of the last match between unbeaten Indonesia (3-0) and champion of the first leg Thailand (2-1).
Back returns home to start the last piece preparations for the historic hosting of the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship in September.
