MANILA, Philippines—La Salle coach Ramil de Jesus kept it real after the Lady Spikers’ stunning straight sets loss to defending champion National University in their opening game of the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament.

De Jesus said the setback may just be an early wake-up call for the Lady Spikers, who are determined to return to the top after a third-place finish last season.

WASHINGTON – The United States on Friday reported a budget deficit of $1.8 trillion for the past year, widening from 2023’s level on greater spending, including for interest on the public debt.

“Actually, this may be a wake-up call for them,” said De Jesus, who also acknowledged the high expectations surrounding his squad, after the 23-25, 21-25, 18-25 defeat Sunday night at Mall of Asia Arena.

“I think any new team will have high expectations, especially with La Salle. When you’re a team that has a Shevana (Laput) or a (Angel) Canino, you’ll really have high expectations.”

De Jesus, though, is confident that the Lady Spikers will learn from their mistakes.

After all, it’s just the first game of the season.
