De Guzman, Fajardo headline PVL All-Star starters

The starters for the 2026 All-Star Volleyball Showcase have officially been unveiled Monday, building anticipation for the much-awaited spectacle set on May 1 in Candon City, where the Premier Volleyball League’s brightest stars will take center stage.


Through fan voting held from March 12 to April 11, supporters selected the starting lineups for the PVL All-Star Game, setting up a marquee clash between elite playmakers and powerhouse scorers.


Creamline’s Jia De Guzman leads Team Heart, while PLDT’s Kim Fajardo headlines Team Hustle, pitting two of the league’s premier setters against each other in a high-profile showdown.


De Guzman will be joined by Creamline teammate Jema Galanza and Capital1 rookie Bella Belen, who topped the outside hitter voting at 1-2, along with Cignal’s Erika Santos at opposite hitter.


Another Creamline standout in Jeanette Panaga teams up with PLDT’s Majoy Baron—who finished first and second in the middle blocker race—to anchor the net, while Akari libero Justine Jazareno, the top vote-getter at her position, leads the floor defense.


On the other side, Fajardo will be backed by a familiar PLDT core in Kianna Dy at opposite hitter, Mika Reyes at middle blocker, and Kath Arado at libero.


Completing Team Hustle’s firepower are Creamline’s Bernadeth Pons and Choco Mucho’s Eya Laure, who topped the outside hitter voting, while Akari’s Fifi Sharma secures the final middle blocker spot after finishing second in her category.


The reserves will be announced on April 20 following a comprehensive voting process involving coaches, players, team officials, league committees, and media representatives.
