Valdez masaya na ma-represent ang PHL sa AVC

Chris Co - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines — May proud moment si Alyssa Valdez dahil masaya ito na muling ma-represent ang Pilipinas sa isang international tournament.

Bahagi si Valdez ng Creamline Cool Sma­shers na sumasabak sa AVC Women’s Champions League na ginaganap sa Philsports Arena sa Pasig City.

At hindi maitago ni Valdez ang saya na muling makapagsuot ng jersey na may Philippine flag at mas lalo pa itong ginaganahan sa paglalaro.

“It really is an extra motivation having the flag on our chest and represen­ting as well Creamline Cool Smashers. I have double motivation and inspiration to fight,” ani Valdez.

Halos hindi nakapag­laro si Valdez sa Game 3 ng finals ng Premier Volleyball League (PVL) sa pagitan ng Cool Smashers at Petro Gazz kamakailan.

Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, isa si Valdez sa mga naasahan ng Cool Sma­shers sa kanilang u­nang pagsalang.

Nagtala si Valdez ng 10 puntos sa 29-27, 25-20, 25-19 panalo ng Cool Smashers kontra sa Jordan squad na Al Naser.

“It’s just so nice to play always for the Philippines. We play like there’s no tomorrow all the time because these chances and opportunities are not given to us all the time, so we’re gonna grab it and try to represent the country well,” dagdag ni Valdez.

Huli itong naging bahagi ng national team noong 2023 SEA Games na gina­nap sa Cambodia.
