MANILA, Philippines — Alas Pilipinas couldn’t sustain its strong first set win and fell to defending champion Thailand, 25-17, 24-26, 20-25, 20-25, in the 5th SEA V-League 1st Leg opener on Friday in Nakhon Ratchasima.

The Nationals unleashed a strong first set, leading as much as 18-11 with Eya Laure, Dell Palomata, and Fifi Sharma leading the charge before Angel Canino put on the finishing touches to draw the first blood.
