F2 Logistics is out to stretch its early blazing streak when the Chooks To Go-Philip rolls to Malolos Sports and Convention Center in Malolos City.
The Cargo Movers clash with Cocolife at 6 pm following the encounter between Iriga City and Cignal in the 4 pm appetizer of this prestigious club tourney bankrolled by Cignal, Mikasa, Senoh, Mueller, Grand Sport, and UCPB Gen.

“We’re off to a good start. But we have to be careful because all teams are also preparing,” said de Jesus, adding that they had a lot of time to train and make some adjustments after sitting out the league’s first two weeks to give way for De La Salle University’s participation in the annual University Games.
De Jesus said overcoming a veteran squad like Cocolife would not be a walk in the park.
Led by evergreen Tina Salak, with veterans Mary Jean Balse, Joanne Bunag, Michele Gumabao, Denden Lazaro and imports Taylor Milton and Tai Manu-Olevao, the Asset Managers posted back-to- back victories after suffering a pair of early setbacks.
Their previous win – a four-set conquest of Victoria Sports-UST - buster battle with F2 Logistics in this bustling city headed by Mayor Christian Natividad.
“I watched their game against UST and they still won convincingly even if Tina didn’t play,” said de Jesus, who will bank on the firepower of imports Kennedy Bryan of United States and Maria Jose Perez of Venezuela as well as local stars Kianna Dy, Aby Marano, Kim Fajardo and libero Dawn Macandili.
“Cocolife is on a different level whenever Tina is around. That’s something we have to address. We have to prepare hard because this team is a veteran team.”
