Marco Gumabao reacted to his sister Michele Gumabao, who got benched during the championship game of Creamline Vs. Cherry Tigo in Premier Volleyball League on August 13.
In a now-deleted tweet, Marco chided the coach’s decision to let his sister sit on benches. However, he congratulated Cherry Tigo and the Santiago sisters for winning the Premier Volleyball League’s (PVL) first-ever professional title.
Some netizens agreed to his judgment, noting Michele’s experience, while others criticized Marco for his tweets.
Hard to choose between Michelle Gumabao and Tots Carlos. Both great players. But Michelle has a lot of championship experience. Her not seeing a lot of action this and the last game didn’t go well for Creamline. Just saying. #PVL2021Finals

I appreciate Michelle Gumabao so much today. She embraced the role of being a substitute player. She would approach each of her team mates on evwry time out and makes sure that they're doing great.#PVLOpenConference2021 #PVL2021Finals
