MANILA, Philippines—The rebuilding Philippine men's volleyball team placed fifth in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games as Jayvee Sumagaysay executed the game-winning block to escape gritty Singapore, 25-23, 23-25, 25-22, 25-23, in a classification match on Monday at Indoor Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Filipino spikers, who matched its previous finish last year, displayed grace under pressure in each set to withstand the Singaporeans, led by Jordan Ryan Wong and Shergill Ajay Singh. With Jau Umandal stepping up to close out the match with a 23-22 lead in the fourth set, Wong kept Singapore afloat, nailing a down-the-line spike to tie the game but Jade Disquitado quickly answered with his own kill to reach match point.
