With PVL and UAAP finals stints, Alinsunurin is ‘happiest man in volleyball’ 

MANILA, Philippines — Days after Vhong Navarro won his case against Deniece Cornejo, Cedrick Lee and two others, Kat Alano shared another cryptic post about rape. 

In her Twitter account, Kat shared a rape s tory about married couple. 

“TW: Rape. Most of you don’t understand what rape is. You think it is some shady act committed in a dark alleyway,” she wrote.  

“Here is an example of a man doing it to his wife. To him, it ’s just his ‘urges’ being fulfilled,” she added. 

In another post, Kat also shared about rapists. 

“All rape is unfor givable when the rapists have no remorse,” she wrote. 

Last March 2023, Kat wrote a cryptic post after the Supreme Court’s (SC) Third Division ordered the dismissal of rape and acts of lasciviousness charges against Vhong due to lack of probable cause. 

In her Twitter account, Kat posted about connections. 

“So you gotta have frieeeends…” she wrote. 

“Friends in all the right places, even when you’re wrong,” she added. 

It can be recalled that in 2014, Alano claimed she was raped by a famous celebrity, who allegedly drugged her and launched smear campaigns to destroy her career.

MANILA, Philippines – Coach Dante Alinsunurin is considering himself the “happiest man in volleyball” after successfully leading his teams to finals stints in both the Premier Volleyball League and the UAAP, as he juggles handling the Choco Mucho Flying Titans and the NU Bulldogs.

Just days after Choco Mucho finalized their entry to the finals in the ongoing PVL All-Filipino Conference last weekend, the Bulldogs also entered into their 9th straight finals appearance in the UAAP — beating the DLSU Green Spikers in four sets on Wednesday.

Alinsunurin expressed delight at the prospect of winning two championships in the same week, but deflected all the credit to his players — both pro and collegiate — who have absorbed his system.

“Unang una, sa volleyball ngayon ako yung pinakamasayang tao nakuha ko yung finals ngayon sa PVL tsaka sa UAAP. Basta trabaho lang importante lang makatulong ako sa players and management,” Alinsunurin said, eyeing his fourth straight title with NU. 

“Kung ano man yung gusto kong gawin sa team, and kung ano man yung gusto kong matulong, gagawin ko para maging successful yung school or yung [club] namin,” he added.

For the Flying Titans, he’s hoping to break through for their first title, going up against perennial powerhouse Creamline.

While Alinsunurin is used to more success with the NU Bulldogs, having been the gold standard of men’s volleyball in the league for so long, the decorated tactician conceded that it was a little more challenging for them this time around.

Now that they’ve gotten over the hump, Alinsunurin can only hope they go all the way again.

“This season, talagang di naging madali yung patungo sa finals pero siyempre credit talaga sa players ko and sa coaching staff na talagang sumusuporta namin all throughout the season,” he said. 

“Kaya sinasabi namin sa kanila na kailangan kung ano man yung gusto naming ma-achieve [namin] ngayong season. Nagpapasalamat kami na ngayon nakatungtong na kami sa finals,” he continued.

Alinsunurin’s finals journey begins Thursday, with the Flying Titans, in Game 1 against Creamline at 6 p.m. 

As for the UAAP, NU awaits their finals foe for Game 1 on Saturday, May 11.
