Top PVL rookie draft pick Bella Belen is committed to giving it her all for the Capital1 Solar Spikers, perhaps far better than what she did – the championship mindset included – at National University where she captured three UAAP titles.
She ought to knowing full well that playing in the PVL especially to a team eager to make a name for itself brings a whole new level of intensity and challenge.
“I will do my best talaga. Siguro ang maipapangako ko lang sa Capital1, ipaglalaban ko sila gaya ng ginawa ko sa NU,” said Belen after being named Player of the Year for the third time.
Belen added that she’s the type of person who, once committed, will always fight for what she stands for.
“Ganun akong tao. Once na mag-commit ako, kaya kong ipaglaban—parang relasyon lang ’yan,” Belen said with a playful grin.
“Ipaglalaban ko talaga yung team ko, as long as kaya ko,” she added.
However, the three-time MVP is still unsure when she’ll make her debut for Capital1 in the PVL.
“Hindi ko po talaga sure pa. Wala pa po kasing nababanggit sa amin kung kailan kami pwedeng makalaro sa PVL… pero sana, hopefully, kasi gusto ko na rin naman pong maglaro for the pros,” Belen said.
Belen received the UAAP Player of the Year award for women’s volleyball at the Collegiate Press Corps Awards Night held at Discovery Suites in Ortigas on Monday, June 30.
