De La Salle's Alleiah Malaluan selected 9th by PLDT in PVL Draft

De La Salle University star Alleiah Malaluan made a stunning appearance at the 2025 PVL Rookie Draft, where she was selected by PLDT as the ninth overall pick and named the 'Star of the Night'.

Malaluan expressed her joy and gratitude for joining PLDT alongside former teammates like Kianna Dy, Majoy Baron, and Kim Fajardo.

The young player will be coached by Rald Ricafort and guided by experienced teammates such as Savi Davison, a player she idolizes after watching her during tune-up games with PLDT.

Malaluan's addition to the High Speed Hitters squad is expected to bolster their roster, which missed out on the All-Filipino Conference semifinals last season.

She admitted that she 'manifested' for it to happen and feels comfortable joining a team with her La Salle connection.

The experienced teammates will help Malaluan transition smoothly into professional volleyball.
