“I missed playing and then I got invited by coach George (Pascua) to tryout,” said Semana, who was named Best Setter back in the V-League in 2017. “I tried and I was given a chance.”

Palomata didn’t even think twice in her decision to suit up for PLDT due to her familiarity with the team’s coaching staff.

“I joined PLDT because of the coaches,” said Palomata, who will be a special guest player for PLDT as she is an enlisted Air Force personnel. “Coach George was my coach on the national team and I was with coach Raffy Mosuela at Air Force that’s why I chose PLDT.“
