KUALA LUMPUR: The Philippines takes the first major step to redemption when it battles Vietnam in the men’s volleyball competition of the 29th Southeast Asian Games Monday at the MITEC Hall 11. Head coach Sammy Acaylar said they were all pumped up and ready to go after spending the past few months training and competing against foreign teams. But the road to glory will never be easy. Vietnam, the silver medalist in the previous SEA Games, will surely be a tough nut to crack due to its power, quickness and athleticism. Meanwhile, the Philippine women’s team will see action on Thursday against Malaysia and Friday against Vietnam.
