NU stars, Jema Galanza join Alas Pilipinas training
Alas Pilipinas is strengthening its roster with the addition of Jema Galanza, Bella Belen, and Alyssa Solomon for the upcoming FIVB Challenger Cup.
These three players have already joined the team's practice sessions at the Philsports Arena.
Three-time PVL MVP Tots Carlos has not yet trained with the team due to a minor injury.
The new additions aim to boost the Alas Pilipinas team, which recently secured a historic bronze medal in the AVC Challenge Cup.
Galanza, Belen, and Solomon join the team as they prepare to face Vietnam in the Challenger Cup, with the winner qualifying for the Volleyball Nations League.
Belen and Solomon had previously begged off from the AVC Challenge Cup due to fatigue after winning the UAAP Season 86 title, while Galanza and Carlos were on a trip to Spain.
National team coach Jorge Souza de Brito has an extended contract until December of next year.
