ALYSSA AIRS PLEA 🙏 🖊️@johnmarkdg_ Valdez, for so long the face of Philippine volleyball, finally addresses the upheaval that has left an already fragmented community more divided than ever 😢 spin.ph/volleyball/alyssa-ca…

VALDEZ ON ALAS PILIPINAS ISSUES 🇵🇭 Alas Pilipinas team captain Alyssa Valdez took to social media to call for both support and a proactive sporting leadership: "I am aware of the challenges and conversations surrounding our sport, and I understand the concerns being raised from different sides. Bilang naging bahagi ng national team, alam kong marami pang kailangang linawin at ayusin," she wrote.
