The Petron Tri-Activ Spikers[2] is a club women's volleyball team playing in the Philippine Super Liga (PSL). The team is owned by Petron Corporation. The company's involvement in volleyball began in 2002, when it established the Petron Ladies Beach Volleyball Tournament.

Originally known as the Petron Blaze Spikers, it became the first team to sweep a PSL tournament with a 13-0 record and claim the 2015 All-Filipino championship, its second consecutive PSL title.[3][4][5] At their stint in the 2015 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship in Ha Nam, Vietnam, the team finished at the 8th place with only one game won out of six matches played.

The team was renamed Petron Tri-Activ Spikers in 2016. Along with the name change, it is undergoing a massive rebuilding of its lineup after losing four key members - Dindin Manabat, Aby Maraño, Fille Cainglet-Cayetano and Rachel Anne Daquis. Manabat is expected to gave birth to her first child, Daquis moved to RC Cola Army Raiders, Maraño moved to free agency status and Cayetano focused on the vice presidential campaign of Alan Peter Cayetano.[1][6][7]
