Alyssa Valdez is reportedly willing to return and play for Alas Pilipinas as the national squad prepares for the AVC Women’s Cup in Ilocos Sur next month.
Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Tonyboy Liao said Valdez is “very willing to support” the team as a player.
The national team begins training on Monday while head coach Tai Bundit recovers from an ankle injury suffered in a scooter accident in Thailand.
Several players, including Angel Canino and Justine Jazareno, have reportedly committed to joining the squad, while others declined or remain unavailable.
Officials are still finalizing the team lineup and interim coaching setup ahead of the June 6-14 tournament.
