Sarina Bolden, on the other hand, will be named Ms. Football after a scintillating performance in the Women’s World Cup where she scored a historic goal in the Philippines trailblazing appearance in the prestigious event.

This is the second time Bolden will be honored by the PSA, the oldest media organization in the Philippines that is currently headed by Philippine Star sports editor Nelson Beltran.
