- This is me reacting to a men's match between the Philippines and Thailand from the 2019 SEA Games.
I played against Thailand back in 2011 at the World University Games (we lost) but have never seen Team Philippines play!
This was such an exciting match with such a great atmosphere. I hope to visit one day! I hope you enjoy and don't forget to like, comment, and ask questions if you have them! Yay volleyball!

It would be such an honor for us Filipino fans that you can play here in our country and watching one of the best team in the world.
Ulul
HAHAHAHHAHAA
Tanga ang kinukuha lang ng pilipinas mga open o kaya middle pag kukuha sa ibang bansa may pa English english ka pa
Asa haha
@@user-wr7ps3lk6t at saan nmn galing ang info mo na MIDDLE and OPEN lang ang kinukuha? Baka nakalimutan mo nag import ang petron ng Libero?
In case you didn't know, Thailand was the defending champion. It was a historic win for the Philippines 💕
oa amp
A top player in the world reacting to South-east asian play shows how much more our volleyball could improve and how much we could grow in areas such as defensive schemes and discipline
This game for the Philippines is phenomenal because Thailand ranks 39th in the whole world while the Philippines just belongs to the 130+ bracket. This was a major upset.
Filipinos: Did you just summoned us?
this game means a lot bc it's the philippines first time to be back in seagames mens vball after soooo long. this is a fairly new team and the fact that they defeated former champions is already a feat in itself
truee
If you want to have a great crowd, just contact us, Filipinos. It's no big deal for us. Lol
true HAHAHAHAHA.
Ay hi mi. Support! 😂❤️
legitttttt
Marck Espejo and Bryan Bagunas are the go-to guys for our national team. Both of them were imports in Japan's V.League. Bagunas is still an import in Japan right now, while Espejo played in Thailand and now, Bahrain.
This was like Philippines winning the gold medal. Thailand is the powerhouse of volleyball in Southeast Asia and Philippines is not even in the radar of volleyball in The region.
#15 is Marck Espejo, he was a 5x MVP (yup, rookie to senior year) in his Collegiate career. He played in Japan under Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler, played also in Thailand under Visakha and he's now in Bahrain playing for Bani Jamra. :)
#1 is Bryan Baguna, another MVP in his Collegiate career. He is now playing in Japan for Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler.
These two players put the men's volleyball into spotlight during their Collegiate and now professional career. :)
O tapos?
@@roldandanranoco4094 hahahahahahaha
Proud Filipino here! You're right about the "go-to" guy, but there's two of them actually. The one you've mentioned is Bagunas, the other one is Espejo. They're really famous during their college vball careers and total cannons offensively! They have also been playing overseas as pro players recently. Bagunas is playing for a pro team in Japan, while Espejo is playing for a pro team as well in Thailand.
I love your videos so much! I hope you can react to more Haikyuu content!!!!
Espejo is currently playing in Bahrain VB league ... he is done in Thailand i guese
First time Thailand did not advance into the finals and first time for the Philippines to reach the finals. On home court no less. That’s why this game was so important and historic. And that’s why there was such a big, emotional crowd. We’re just so happy for Philippine volleyball. Come over please!! We need libero camps 🏐 (former Ateneo libero here) thanks for this video. Glad you enjoyed!
I go crazy when it comes to reacting and then there's Erik........
#1 and #15 are actually the go to guys for the Philippines but I think #15 focused more on receiving because he is a better receiver than #1 that's why #1 got more sets in this match. The Philippine team was also established just 8 months before the competition and they had uncontinuous training sessions because of their schedules (some are still in college, some plays outside of the country, some has jobs outside of volleyball) but not bad right? Also, the lefty in team Thailand is a substitute so he deserves a lot of credits for playing that level of volleyball. Lovelots Erik Shoji and Team USA. Goodluck for Tokyo2021.
Erik, this was an iconic moment for Philippine volleyball! We were the host and we haven't had a medal in such a long time so we were really cheering like crazy and the crowd attendance was massive.
Coming in to this game, Thailand was the heavy favorites to win the title but somehow we pulled through despite being down match point in the 4th set of this match and through to the finals.
I'd love to see how our team go to the world level but I guess that won't be for YEARS or even decades considering we don't really have a consistent volleyball program and federation 🤐🍵🤣
Hopefully I am wrong because it's such a shame. Volleyball is such a huge sport in the Philippines and the fans here are crazy.
I hope to see that too! the fans are amazing!
Erik is finally playing in the Philippines after almost 4 years since this video ❤️ Excited to watch you soon and Team USA! 🎉
THAILAND WAS THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS AT THAT TIME, SO THEY ARE NOT AN EASY OPPONENT BUT STILL PH TEAM DIDN'T GIVE UP UNTIL THE VERY END
I cried a little when you said “get out and play some volleyball”. Our country is still in quarantine. 😭
oh nooooo. im sorry! well...i hope you can play inside somehow! or just keep watching vb!
you can play in a “bubble” set up just like in our professional basketaball..
Philippines has one of the most appreciative crowds for volleyball or even to any sports in that matter in the world, I mean look at that crowd! We would love to have your team play here. :-)
We filipinos can't wait for you guys to play here! We can't wait to welcome such great players from the USA! Maraming salamat🇵🇭🇺🇸❤️
This is a historic game for PH Volleyball Mens Team. Bcoz in Southeast Asia Thailand is a powerhouse country when in comes to Volleyball both Men & Women
Yes, Bryan Bagunas (jersey #1) is one of the go-to players of the Philippines. The other one is Mark Espejo (jersey #15). Both of these guys were the ace players from their respective Universities, they are awesome!! So glad that you had this reaction to our event here in Southeast Asia! We would love to see Team USA playing the game here in the Philippines one day!!! See you and God bless you more Erik! Done subscribing too.^^
Team PH here dethrones the reigning champs and also a podium comeback since the 70s I think so it is really a big celebration for the mens team.
The great crowd of fans ever is Phillipines any kind of sports...
Yes sir
Pageants also🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@ryjinmaala0504 yes sorry I forgot to mention ❤️ pageant also is Phillipines
Football can't relate
Indeed👏👏
Actually Bagunas and Espejo was former players of oita. Oita is a team in Japan that part of V league. They already encounter Yuji Nishida a lot of times.
11:19 imagine, this play by team ph was compared to Powerhouse team Brazil. IMAGINE!! What an honor! This shows how good or mens national team are.
All the Filipinos are gonna flood the comments within a day. Watch.
Sooo happy you’ve reviewed this match. This was epic! Still teary eyed watching this.
I am a huge fan of team USA, you’re batch in particular. Anyways Thailand has been a monster in Southeast Asia for a long time and Philippines has not been placing for years. This batch was formed with two major players but everyone contributed. This was held in the Philippines and we are a rising volley nation. We have been playing for years and was champions years back but it dimmed a bit in the 80’s and 90’s due to lack of support. This match just showed that Philippines is up to match the best in Asia given the opportunity.
Please invite Team USA to Manila, I can link you with people who can help
make it happen.
Mabuhay from the Philippines!
God bless you!
I AM REALLY EXCITED TO SEE YOU HERE ON VNL 2022 😍💗 WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
1 & 15 are the go-to-guys of the PHI men’s team.
1- Bagunas (now playing in Japan V-League, Oita)
15- Espejo (played in Japan V-League, Thailand, and now in Bahrain)
1&15 are arch rivals back in their college days.
We always enjoy watching and playing games with our friends from Thailand.
This deserves more views and Erik deserves more subs.
❤️ from the 🇵🇭
we're all waiting for this one, thank you so much Erik!! 💯🇵🇭
Oh SHIT. He's reacting to our team now. This gon be interesting.
Number 1 and 15 are the Go to Guys of the Philippines. Number 1 and 15 were great rivals in college. Number 15 Mark Espejo was once scored 55 points in one of his games in college before graduating. After he graduated in college he played in Japan as an import playing against the best players of Japan like Nishida. After Mark Espejo,Bryan Bagunas (1) also went to Japan to play as an import also after he graduated in college and is still playing in Japan now. Mark Espejo played as an import in Thailand after the SEA GAMES and currently he is playing in Bahrain also as an import. Thailand is the power house in SouthEast Asia and the champions that is why it was a history for the Philippines to dethrone Thailand in a semi final match. That 40-foot back pass of Mark to his college rival Bryan was the life saver of that game.
Not anymore after your team get swept twice by Indonesia.. They are powerhouse now.. Lol
@@randomthings257 You did not even understand what I said, didn’t you?
@@wynncruz1467 I understand birch
Thank you so much for reacting to this match. haha! I remember I could barely breathe watching the 5th set. haha! I wish I had seen it live. But I really could feel the energy of the crowd while watching it at home. Awesome! haha!
Thanks Erik Love you reaction! Pls do more of this!!
Just found this. Great reaction! I just subscribed. What made this extra special and sweet was that the Philippines hadn’t gotten a medal in SeaGames in ages and they beat the perennial gold medalist the last so many meets. To think that these are just college age actual college students- most of them at least if not all.
I was a volunteer that time and I’m one of the people cheering in the arena. Thanks for the reaction video! 🤧
Whoaaahh!!! Here is Shoji! 💕💖💖 I am so fascinated by your games! Especially your last match with team Japan! 🇯🇵 Such ease handling Nishida's serves. Hope that you can show reaction to other PH games too, which are also exciting! ☺️ All the best!
Oh my god! This is what I've been waiting for, eric! This is the most exciting game between Ph and Thai.
Erik shoji seems like such a dope dude to be friends with, like he's that one super kind dude in the group...
Because you gave time to watch this historic event for us filipinos and you love the filipino crowd..just wait for few days and your followers will boom drastically😁😁..and it will be an honor for filipinos if you, together with entire USA team, will play a friendly match here...will definitely be big one...please please....
FYI...to answer your question..#1 bryan bagunas and #15mark espejo were the go to guys of the philippine team...bagunas is now playing in Japan( for oita miyoshi)..espejo also played in japan for oita miyoshi but now he is currently playing in bahrain volleyball league...please come,visit and play here in the phil...i am a supporter of USA and Italy men's volleyball team...🙂..will be happy to see u guys here
Thank you Erik Shoji! I love USA volleyball...been a follower for quite some time already. God bless everyone!
OMG! Thanks for doing a reaction of this!
The crowd is that wild because the last time our Philippine team went to the finals was in 1977 😊 And Thailand is gunning for 5-peat on this tournament
OMG!! Never thought you'd notice me 😱 Hope we'll meet each other in the future 😊
Gotta give Thailand props for that match. Amorntep went full Ushijima mode right there.
YAAASSS THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Thanks for your commentating, Erik. Enjoyed that very much as well as your play on Team USA. Go Philippines - Go USA for Tokyo 2020ne!!
Thailand are the defending gold medalist on this event at the same time has the most gold medals if I'm correct, for SEA games that is. While the Philippines hasn't participated in any international volleyball events for more than 2 decades, they were the dark horse of the tourney. Basically its the young underdogs upsetting the dominant champs.
#1 and #15 for the Philippines are the go to guys, both decorated collegiate athletes here and are now playing professionally overseas (Japan, Thailand, Bahrain)
edit: that's why the crowd is so hyped, it's been a LONGGGGGG time since we participated in international volleyball tournaments.
You wrong most gold medal for men's is Indonesia team.. With 10 gold and Thailand 8 gold..
Our setter was 19 years old back then
I didn't expect this, Thank you for reacting❤️❤️❤️
That was a comeback win by the team Philippines..almost lost the fourth set but showed a great composure and won the game againts the powerhouse team
This win was such a big deal because Thailand was the defending champion and the first time the national team of the Philippines got a chance of a gold medal since the 70s.
Thanks for this video, Erik! More power to your channel! 💯❤️
Awww! I've been waiting for this Erik! 🤗🇵🇭🇵🇭
Volleyball is popular in the ph. i would love to see u play with the USA team. It would be epic!!!
OH MY GOD FINALLY!!! Please watch Espejo’s 55 pts highlight during his collegiate year!!! *philippines outside hitter against thailand*
I did not expect this in a million years!!! Thank you so much Erik!! I mean, obviously, the Philippines is nowhere close to y’alls level but to be featured by someone at your level is such an honor!!! I have been following you for a long time now and this just made me feel all the feels.. thank you!!
I did not expect this vlog! Thank you erik for featuring philippine men's volleyball team on your youtube channel! ❤️🇵🇭🏐
Just have to say this... Filipinos is the greatest crowd when it comes to sports. Cute reaction.
we will wait for usa vball team to visit philippines and play with our players :)
I pretty much enjoyed this review, great job!
Love your reaction Erik, rooting always for you team ✊💖
7:59 that #1, Bryan Bagunas and #15 Marck Espejo is their go to guy. They are very popular players here in Philippines and gathered multiple individual awards during college days. Also, both of them became an imports overseas.
All I want is for you to watch Philippines Dawn Macandili. She's our best libero!
@tinimbang ka ngunit sira ang timbangan Walang kwenta?uhmmmm.or taeneo fan ka?HAHAHA
Waited for this E.Shoji. we'll hope you visit PH soon 😍🥰
Woah! Thank you for reacting to our men's volleyball team!!! And yes it would be awesome to have US team come over and play. :)
And Yes PH crowd is awesome for anything.
Man this reaction makes you even more attractive in my eyes. Hope you and Team USA can play here in the Philippines.
I just finishing watching this and I just want to say that Marck Espejo and Bryan Bagunas are two of the best players here in the Philippines

Wooooah! Nice video again! Now covering SEA Games. You really are sifting thru volleyball!
It would be an honor if you will visit and play here in the Philippines 😊😊😊
So Bagunas (the guy you were asking) is actually one of the go to. Mark Espejo is the other go to. Both of them are now playing as imports in Japan and the Middle east 😊
Omg Erik this is my birthday gift❤️
And thank you explaing how volleyball is evolving through the years❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Hi Erik :) You can come to the Philippines and play as import. We also have imports even in Libero positions so you can experience this kind of crowd and warm cheer. Hope to see you play here someday
Trivia: Philippine's setter, Joshua Retamar is just a 19-year old setter
Ok??
OMG Erik Reacting... so very excited to watch
Omg I've never watched men's volleyball of southeast asia!! It's cool!!
And happy friday, Mr Shoji!! You inspire me a lot!! 👍😎
“I don’t serve, i’m done , i’m not gonna say anything” 😂🤣😂 Love you! 🥰
Watching this at 3 AM and also hyped because it's about Philippines xD
Wow Erik Shoji reacting to a Philippine volleyball. 😍 Thank youuuu!!! I'm a fan of USA Men's Volleyball
The most awaited review from one of the best libero in the world!! 💯🔥
I remember seeing a comment someone made suggesting Erik react to this game. I see Erik obviously pays attention & READS the comments 😅😂😅😂. Go #teamUSA, though I am rooting for #teamBRAZIL for #2021GOLDmedal 😊😎.
#1 Bryan Bagunas and #15 Marck Espejo are the go to guys. Bagunas is currently playing in Japan and Espejo in Bahrain as an import.
Thank you very much for this❤️ We love you🇵🇭
You're my ultimate idol libero, Shoji. I know that I am no one but I just want to say that you are so amazing from every angle. God bless you.
I agree with your observation. We have to improve on our serves (serve/block correlation in general) so as to put pressure on the opponent's receivers and limit their attack options.
Nice react video 😉 That match was really a nerve-racking with the crowd.
Wow! I’m amazed that you watched and review the game of Philippines vs Thailand... I’m your avid fan from the Philippines..Love lots Erik
After several years, see you in PH!
Hey Erik, I really appreciate what you've been doing on your channel. As you've discovered, the Philippines isn't just a basketball crazy country, we're volleyball mad as well.
I try to follow local college volleyball specifically the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) where my alma mater plays. Recommending these highlights from that league to give you a better idea of how we do things over here:
1. Every single point from Marck Espejo's historic 55 point game | UAAP 80 Exclusives (ua-cam.com/video/evYXTTKf3kQ/v-deo.html) - The best player to have come out of our school’s program.
2. UAAP 81 MV Finals: Bryan Bagunas drops 35 points as NU wins UAAP 81 title | May 15, 2019 (ua-cam.com/video/K-CHEjp06Hc/v-deo.html) - Bagunas was the one you thought was our go-to-guy. He also played with Josh Retamar (Philippines’ setter) and Kim Malabunga (one of Philippines’ middles) while at National University.
3. UAAP 81 WV Finals Game 3: UST vs. ADMU | Game Highlights | May 18, 2019 (ua-cam.com/video/MVHLLMTDAC8/v-deo.html) - Women's volleyball crowds are deafening! These games get so popular, stadiums get forced to sell Standing Room Only tickets for venues with capacities of around 15k-16k.
Big shoutout to our local broadcasters here who do a really good job of televising and helping spread awareness about the sport! Great camera work, commentating, and stats tracking to keep us all engaged and informed!
(Fellow Filipino volleyball fans, patulong nalang sa pagdagdag ng mga videos o articles na maganda para kay Erik. Kung nagkamali ako, reply nalang din kayo sa comment ko. Salamat!)
All the best both with your channel and volleyball matches over there!
