Title: "Jorelle Singh's Resilient Return: A Second Chance in the Spotlight"
After nearly three years, Jorelle Singh is gearing up for a triumphant return to the Premier Volleyball League, eager to showcase her skills once again on the grand stage of Philippine women's volleyball.
A proud product of National University, Singh's last appearance in the country's premier league dates back to the 2021 PVL Open Conference in the Bacarra, Ilocos Norte bubble. Unfortunately, she went unsigned, leading her to join Biñan in the Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA).
"Sobrang na-miss ko po. Sobrang thankful po ako na nabigyan ulit ako ng chance na makapaglaro ulit sa PVL, kasi hindi po lahat nabibigyan ng chance makapaglaro dito, what more pa po na nabigyan ng second chance na maglaro," expressed Singh during the PVL Media Day.
Standing tall at 5-foot-7, the versatile outside spiker recounted her journey, emphasizing how her former coach, Roger Gorayeb, who had previously guided her at NU and PLDT, reached out after witnessing her stellar performance in the MPVA.
"Actually, opo. Si Coach Roger po. Nakita niya po kasi ako na naglalaro ako ulit sa MPVA, kumbaga nakita niya po na pwede pa po ulit akong maglaro so tinawagan niya po ako na mag-tryout po ako sa Capital 1 nga po," revealed Singh.
Gorayeb, citing Singh's experience and familiarity with the system, recruited her to be part of the newly-formed Solar Spikers, adding depth to the team.
With gratitude in her heart and determination in her eyes, the 28-year-old Singh expressed her commitment to making the most out of this second chance. She aims to repay the Solar Spikers' trust by bringing leadership to the team and guiding the younger players.
"Siguro po ang maaasahan niyo sakin is leadership ko po sa team, iga-guide ko po lalo na yung mga bata saka ibibigay ko yung best ko. Kapag pinasok ako, gagawin ko lang kung ano yung best ko."
