Petro Gazz Angels are dedicating their 'three-peat' campaign in the 2024 PVL Reinforced Conference to their late teammate Janisa Johnson.

Cuban spiker Wilma Salas, a key player for Petro Gazz, is motivated to win the championship for Johnson, her former teammate and Finals MVP.

Salas expressed her sadness over Johnson's passing and stated that every point and game is played with Johnson in their thoughts.

Johnson, who passed away at 32 after a battle with colon cancer, was remembered by Salas for her "amazing smile" and her ability to motivate her teammates.

Petro Gazz is honoring Johnson by wearing jerseys with the number 10 and an angel's wing printed on them during the current conference.
