Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – The Philippine national women’s volleyball team will look to deliver its first podium finish in 12 years when it sees action in the 29th Southeast Asian Games here from August 24 to 27.
The team is fresh off a stint in the 19th Asian Senior Women’s Volleyball Championship, where the Philippines earned a trip to the quarterfinals to finish in 8th place.
Headed by skipper Mika Reyes, 2015 flag bearer Alyssa Valdez, playmaker Kim Fajardo, and Jaja Santiago, among others, the Philippine squad will commence its 2017 SEA Games campaign against the host country on Thursday in the group stage.
The country’s volleyball teams (men’s and women’s) last grabbed a medal in the 2005 Manila hosting of the biennial games, where both squads won bronze.
