"Ang daming nangyari. As in legit na maraming nangyari. From off-season namin, tapos nag-season tayo, eliminations. Parang dun pa lang, naging ano na sa amin 'yun e, sa personal side ng team, nagkaroon ng mga sakit, ganiyan. Pero still, kinayanan namin umangat pa rin kahit papa'no," she told reporters during Petro Gazz's exit interview.

Petro Gazz might have been "synonymous" with the PVL Reinforced Conference due to the team's dominance in the import-laden tourney, but for Palma, challenges hindered them this time really hard.

"Not everytime naman po 'pag sinabing Reinforced, sasabihin nila directly Petro Gazz kasi magaling sila mag-recruit ng import, ganito ganiyan. Laging ganun 'yung sinasabi sa amin e. Pero 'yun, sinubok nga kami, malaking pagsubok 'yung dumaan sa amin," she said.

"But still, we did try our best. Siguro hindi man para sa amin ngayon 'to—laging sinasabi ng mga tao, alam nating lahat na ang Reinforced, laging pabor kay Petro Gazz. But still, this is volleyball. Bilog 'yung bola," Palma went on.

Palma also acknowledged the existence of a language barrier with their Japanese coach Koji Tsuzurabara, but it should not be a factor why they stumbled this time, she asserted.

"Sabihin natin, aminin natin meron talagang language barrier. Hindi mawawala 'yon. Pero hindi namin siya pwedeng gawing factor, andiyan lang siya pero wino-workout namin."

"Hindi pumabor [sa amin] 'yung mga pagkakataon, but still we did try our best. Babaunin ulit, another experience na naman, another opportunity. Hindi naman din po para mawalan ng gana sa ginagawa. So still, a great conference pa rin sa amin," Palma said.

"Dapat mas alagaan 'yung sarili, mas magpakondisyon mabuti, araw-araw. Mas tibayan mo 'yung utak mo, 'yung loob mo, kasi 'di mo masasabi kung ano 'yung lalaruin ng bawat isa. So dapat ready ka sa mga pwedeng mangyari," Saet added.
