03:08 and there you go!

03:09 - On cue!

03:10 - Out on cue!

03:11 Robido with another point in this game.

03:15 We've been trying to look for the activation

03:17 in the middles, not just on the side of Lasal

03:19 but also on the side of NU and so far, it's Lasal.

03:23 - Best setter award.

03:24 She's got some credentials, partner.

03:41 she's just power-tipping that one.

03:44 - With a strong front row, with Bella Belen,

03:48 Solomon and Turing.
