MANILA, Philippines, January 8 ------ PLDT saved the best for last in its star-studded recruitment haul, unveiling former F2 top scorer Kianna Dy as its third new High Speed Hitter ahead of the highly-anticipated 2024 PVL season.
The star opposite hitter, currently out of commission due to a knee injury, joins her former La Salle and F2 teammates Majoy Baron and Kim Fajardo, and reunites with another ex-Lady Spiker in captain Mika Reyes. “Stepping out of your comfort zone can be scary sometimes. But at the same time, that’s when you realize that you can learn so much more from new coaches and teammates,” Dy said in a statement. “Knowing that there’s still so much to learn inspires me to thrive and work harder. It’s going to take a lot of hard work, but I hope we can meet the expectations set for us here in PLDT.”
The 28-year-old spiker is expected to be a massive boost to a solid wing rotation featuring the likes of standout Fil-Canadian Savannah Davison, breakout hitter Erika Santos, and ever-ready reserve Jules Samonte. With its off-season recruitment momentum on point, PLDT is revitalizing its campaign for a breakthrough PVL podium finish after multiple fourth and fifth place finishes in its seven-conference stint so far in the pros.
