Jia Morado-De Guzman ready to lead Alas Pilipinas
Jia Morado-De Guzman has been appointed as the captain of the Alas Pilipinas national women's volleyball team for the upcoming AVC Challenge Cup for Women.
She admitted to feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a senior player but stated that she and other senior players were well-prepared by past leaders.
De Guzman believes her experience playing abroad, including with the Denso Airybees in Japan, has helped her transition to leading a team with unfamiliar faces.
Alas Pilipinas, which includes prominent players like Sisi Rondina and Eya Laure, is composed of mostly young collegiate and PVL stars.
The team will begin their campaign on Thursday, facing Australia at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
Casiey Dongallo will be unable to participate in the tournament due to an injury.
