Will Kim Fajardo be
the last one to join the RP Women’s U23 team?

Head coach Roger Gorayeb named his lineup – although
missing one name – to the Asian Women’s Under-23 Championship.
Alyssa Valdez
Jaja Santiago
Bea De Leon
Jia Morado
Alyssa Eroa
Gretchel Soltones
EJ Laure
Marivic Meneses
Jhoanna Maraguinot
Myla Pablo
Rissa Sato
Kim Fajardo
Gorayeb said that although Fajardo verbally said she
is interested in joining the team, she is requesting a letter to Philippine
Army where she recently signed up. The veteran head coach hopes that she will
show up today for practice for the lineup to finally be complete.
Two recent additions are Ateneo’s Jhoanna Maraguinot
and Rissa Sato. Sato is Fil-Japanese who recently received her Philippine passport.
“We filled up some holes in the lineup by getting those who were available and
wanted to play,” said Gorayeb who indirectly referred to the difficulties
brought about by the row between the Larong Volleyball ng Pilipinas and the
Philippine Volleyball Federation. “Hopefully, Kim will show up at the practice
so that should mean she is more or less committed to participating,” clarified
Gorayeb. “If not, we select someone else who has been religious in showing up
for team practices.”
Should Fajardo not show up this weekend, Gorayeb will
discuss with Anusorn Bundit, who recently guided Ateneo to its second
consecutive UAAP Women’s Volleyball title, who the 12th person will
be for the RP team.
Should Fajardo, La Salle’s setter be unavailable, it
is possible that Perpetual Help-Biñan’s Elaine Kasilag will get the nod at the
utility position.
