Rondina’s Change of Heart
Good thing Sisi Rondina changed her mind. Initially deciding to pass up on national team duties just days after a grueling finals run in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), Rondina said she’s glad the team still trusted her.

Rondina’s Performance
Rondina’s fruitful stint was poetically capped off with a game-clinching cross-court hit, sending the thousands of fans at the historic Rizal Memorial Coliseum to loud screams of euphoria. The PVL Most Valuable Player finished with 13 points in the bronze-medal match.
Future Plans
Despite her success, Rondina plans to take a rest and may skip the 2024 FIVB Challenger Cup to be hosted by the Philippines. She emphasized the importance of managing her knee issues and seizing opportunities that come her way.
Upcoming Event
Up next for Alas Pilipinas is a friendly game against a South Korean squad in early June in commemoration of the Philippines’ 126th Independence Day celebrations.
