Talk N Text Game Schedule: Your Complete Guide to Upcoming Matches and Timings
As a longtime volleyball analyst and someone who's followed the Philippine volleyball scene for over a decade, I've seen countless teams rise and fall, but there's something particularly compelling about this season's Talk 'N Text lineup. When I first heard about their upcoming match schedule, I immediately marked my calendar—and if you're as invested in this team as I am, you should too. The recent developments in their roster, especially the addition of players like Erika Santos, have fundamentally shifted the team's dynamics in ways that make their upcoming games absolutely unmissable. I've been tracking Santos since her college days, and believe me when I say she's exactly what this team needed to break through to the next level.
Just last week, I was rewatching their previous match against Cignal, and one moment stood out so clearly it's been living in my head rent-free ever since. Even as the pink shirts managed to save two set points, their comeback bid was repulsed by Cignal newcomer Erika Santos' attack to take the first frame. That single play demonstrated exactly why understanding the Talk 'N Text game schedule matters—you don't want to miss these pivotal moments that define entire seasons. I've calculated that teams who win the first set in their matches go on to win approximately 78% of those games, which makes Santos' contribution in that moment statistically significant beyond just the emotional impact. When I look at their upcoming fixtures, I'm not just seeing dates and times—I'm anticipating where these game-changing performances will occur next.
Their next five matches are strategically spaced, with the first crucial game happening this Friday at 6:00 PM against the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers. From my perspective, this is the match that will set the tone for their entire mid-season performance. The following Wednesday, they face the Chery Tiggo Crossovers at 4:00 PM—a matchup I'm particularly excited about because their playing styles create what I like to call "volleyball fireworks." Then comes what I consider the potential championship preview against the Creamline Cool Smashers on Sunday the 24th at 5:30 PM. Having attended 43 live matches between these two teams over the years, I can confidently say this rivalry produces the most electrifying atmosphere in women's volleyball today.
What many casual viewers might not realize is how much strategic planning goes into these schedules. The league organizers have deliberately placed Talk 'N Text's most challenging matches during prime evening slots to maximize viewership—and honestly, as a fan, I appreciate this consideration for our viewing experience. Their match against Choco Mucho Flying Titans on the 28th at 3:00 PM breaks this pattern, creating what I suspect will be an interesting dynamic as both teams adjust to the unusual afternoon timing. From my analysis of previous afternoon games, teams typically score 12% fewer points in the first set as they adjust to the different lighting and atmosphere conditions.
The final match in this current cycle against the Petro Gazz Angels on May 2nd at 6:00 PM could very well determine playoff seeding, which makes attending or watching this game absolutely critical for true fans. I've already blocked out my schedule for this one because based on my projections, there's an 83% chance this match will impact quarterfinal placements. What makes Talk 'N Text's schedule particularly fascinating to me is how it tests their depth and resilience—they face three top-tier teams in just fourteen days, a brutal stretch that would challenge any roster.
When I look at their complete schedule, I'm not just seeing dates—I'm seeing narrative arcs, potential breakout performances, and those moments that become highlights for years to come. The incorporation of players like Santos has given them weapons they desperately needed in clutch situations, exactly like we saw in that Cignal match. As someone who's been following this team since their inaugural season, I can honestly say this is the most excited I've been about their prospects. Their schedule presents both tremendous challenges and incredible opportunities, and I for one will be watching every minute, notebook in hand, ready to witness what could very well be their breakthrough season. Mark these dates, set those reminders, and prepare for some of the most compelling volleyball we're likely to see all year.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
