MANILA—The PhilHealth Health Insurers extended their dominant streak to five games, delivering a commanding straight-sets sweep against the Pag-IBIG Fund Lady Smashers yesterday at the Paco Arena. 

Displaying championship-caliber poise, PhilHealth fended off a late surge from the Lady Smashers in the third frame to secure a 25-22, 25-15, 27-25 victory. 

This crucial win keeps PhilHealth's perfect record intact and officially placed them to the number one spot in the UVL Season 4 team standings.

Defensive specialist Trixie Laroga earned Best Player of the Game honors, anchoring the Health Insurers' backline with elite floor coverage. 

While the box score credited the libero with a rare point and attack, it was her relentless digging and precise reception that frustrated the Pag-IBIG hitters all afternoon. 

By neutralizing the Lady Smashers' offensive threats, Laroga ensured that the undefeated Health Insurers remained in total control, solidifying their status as the team to beat this season.
