At middle blocker, Creamline’s Jeanette Panaga maintained her lead, but Nxled’s MJ Phillips made a significant leap from fifth place in the previous returns to second overall.

In the outside hitter race, Choco Mucho’s Eya Laure improved her standing by climbing into second place behind Creamline’s Bernadeth Pons, who continues to lead with 32.89 percent. The gap between the contenders remains close enough to shift in the next update depending on fan turnout.
Creamline’s Tots Carlos continues to dominate the opposite spiker category with 54.08 percent, while Kianna Dy holds second place. Across the men’s Spikers’ Turf division, Criss Cross remains a dominant force, although challengers are beginning to close in across multiple categories.
In Team Power, Jude Garcia continues to lead the opposite spiker race with a commanding 72.36 percent, while setter and libero positions remain under Criss Cross control through Adrian Villados and Menard Guerrero. Despite the strong leads, several categories are still developing into tighter contests as voting progresses.
