to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy… and to laugh along the way
This finals proved that a ‘passing of the torch’ cannot be a single event, but rather, a gradual process. The young Vanie may have the MVP crown, but it was Alyssa and the Cool Smashers who raised the trophy up high. Truly, it was an event that celebrated the arrival of a new superstar without diminishing the light of the legend who paved her way.
Whether Vanie becomes the official heir will depend much on the outcome of the PVL’s 2026 All-Filipino Finals. To truly take the torch, one must eventually go through the torch-bearer. As they head into this epic best-of-three championship series, the stakes are poetic. For Aly, it is a chance to prove to the fans that the throne still belongs to her. For Vanie, it is a golden opportunity to prove that the future is here and now.
