MANILA, Philippines—Steven Rotter, Cyrus De Guzman, and Mike Vicente, the three new members of the Philippine men's volleyball team, admitted that they feel pressure in bringing back the glory of the country in the Southeast Asian Games, nearly four years after it earned a historic silver medal. The three Filipino-American players will be ushering in a new era for the men's national team under new coach Sergio Veloso of Brazil when it campaigns in the 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia in May. But for the newcomers, trying to lift the Philippines back to the podium after a fifth-place finish in Hanoi, Vietnam last year entails a lot of pressure.
