Also in Pool C, JRU stayed unbeaten in two games to boost its quarterfinal hopes with a 25-13, 25-17, 25-19 win over Marikina after its 25-11, 25-12, 25-15 victory over Angatleta-Orion, Bataan last week.

In Pool A, Savouge Aesthetics improved to 1-1 after routing the winless Volida Volleyball Club, 25-11, 25-11, 25-17. 

Over at the women’s play, the Philippine Air Force got off to a flying start with a 25-23, 25-15, 24-26, 25-11 win over Davao City in Pool B as Parañaque City bounced back in Pool B with a 25-15, 25-10, 13-25, 25-18 triumph over the Vollida Volleyball Club.
