In a hilarious moment, a schoolgirl was left embarrassed after her braces became snagged on a volleyball net.
Volleyball setter Shkelly Castro and her friends were playing a match when the metal bracket on her teeth caught onto the black mesh in Cavite.
The comical mishap prompted both her teammates and opponents to rush over and help free her on October 12.
Footage captured by Joanne Delos Santos shows Castro tilting her head back with her mouth open as one of the girls carefully untangles the net from the wire.
Meanwhile, others can be heard laughing and cracking jokes to lighten the mood.
They eventually managed to remove the net and continue the game, though one of Castro’s brackets came loose during the incident.
Delos Santos posted the video on Facebook, captioning it: “First time in the history of volleyball.”
“Ano kayang pwedeng itawag dito? Deadball ba to o touching na to?” the in-video text read.
The video has so far garnered 3.3 million views, 2,700 shares and 984 comments, including jokes about the net mishap.
“Teethching,” a Facebook user commented in response to the in-video text.
“Bakit pati net kinain?” another quipped.
“Touching (Cross emoji). Biting (check emoji),” a Facebook user wrote.
Delos Santos explained that Castro “is a setter, and during the game, she was laughing at something when the opponent suddenly served the ball, causing the net to hit her teeth from the impact.”
