Good day! I just wanted to point out that the school which actually won third place at the ISSA Secondary Girls Volleyball Meet was actually the University of San Agustin, and not Hua Siong. To be fair, the girls from both schools played their hearts out, but it was the USA girls that dug deep and came from behind to win the game. I hope you will find a way to rectify this error, as the Agustinians played really hard for this win, only to be relegated to a lower standing due to what I believe is an honest error on your part. Thank you for your time.
