Alas Pilipinas succumbed to Chinese Taipei in straight sets in the battle for bronze, 0-3 (17-25, 24-26, 22-25) at the 2025 VTV Cup held at Nhà thi đấu Vĩnh Phúc Gymnasium in Phu Tho, Vietnam yesterday evening, July 5.

The team came fresh off of a second-place finish at the AVC Challengers Cup and saw a movement in the lineup with some key players being replaced. However, this placement is still an improvement from last year’s 8th place when the NU Bulldogs represented the country in the tournament.
