The Nxled Chameleons. PVL MediaMANILA — Nxled blasted an undermanned Capital1 side, 25-17, 25-23, 25-18, in the 2026 PVL on Tour Showdown on Saturday in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
Even without three-time PVL MVP Brooke Van Sickle, the Chameleons succeeded in denying the sunlight of the Solar Spikers, who sorely miss the services of new prized recruits Erika Santos and Vanie Gandler, as well as Rookie of the Year Bella Belen.
