MANILA, Philippines—Petro Gazz will be without a huge chunk of its core in the coming Premier Volleyball League conferences after nine of its players did not extend their contracts.
The Angels announced the departure of Best Libero Kath Arado, Best Middle Blocker Ria Meneses, and seven others on its social media pages on Wednesday.
Through all the ups and downs, twists and turns, it has been one interesting ride.
We, your Petro Gazz Angels family, would like to thank you all for our journey shared this 2021!
