 “I was able to prove to myself that I can do it,” Rondina, who won her fourth season MVP award, said in Filipino.

“I started my first year thinking that I won’t be able to prove what I can do because I don’t have the height. But it changed when we started winning. The MVP is just a bonus for me. My goal is to help UST win,” Rondina added.
