The Power of Consistency Alas Pilipinas Makes History at SEA Games

PATTAYA, Thailand - The Philippines' beach volleyball team, Alas Pilipinas, has made history by defeating long-reigning champions Thailand in their own turf at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games. This impressive feat is a testament to the importance of consistency and perseverance.

Faced with the daunting task of taking on the seemingly unbeatable eight-time champs, Alas 1's Sisi Rondina and Bernadeth Pons, along with Alas 2's Sunny Villapando and Dij Rodriguez, rose to the challenge. Their impressive performance will forever be etched in Philippine beach volleyball history.

Not only did they topple the Thais in their own kingdom, but they did so emphatically, sweeping the title match 2-0. Rondina and Pons outdueled Worapeerachayakorn Kongphopsarutawadee and Taravadee Naraphornrapat, 21-17, 21-15, to put Alas in position to achieve the once unthinkable.

To cheers of Let's Go, Philippines, from the Philippine delegation and small group of supporters on the sandcourt of Jomtien Beach, Villapando and Rodriguez went for the kill and finished off Tanarattha Udomchavee and Rumpaipruet Numvong in three, 21-13, 17-21,15-6.

For Rondina, this historic win was a culmination of her team's hard work and dedication. I'm overjoyed, especially with Pons, it's our fifth international gold medal, she said, expressing her excitement and gratitude.

The team's consistency was key to their success. Prior to this, the Pinay sandbelles had a best finish of bronze, achieved twice in 2019 at home and 2021 in Vietnam. However, they were determined to improve on that performance. We have great teammates, coaches, management who believed in us, and all we did was work hard, Rondina said.

Alas beach volleyball coach, Brazilian Joao Luciano Kioday, also praised the team's consistency. Let's celebrate, the gold is going back to the Philippines! he exclaimed. Ramon, thank you so much, your hard work has made this success possible.

For Rondina and Pons, this win was a sweet revenge after coming home medal-less in the 2023 edition. We showed our determination, we didn't have any medals last SEA Games, we were very disappointed. We said we would bounce back, said Pons.

This historic victory is not only a testament to the team's hard work but also a reminder of the importance of consistency and perseverance in achieving success. As Rondina aptly put it, I think consistency was key to our gold medal today.
