It did not take long for Dell Palomata and Jovie Prado to find a new home.
The former Sta. Lucia players have found a new home for the 2022 Premier Volleyball League season, joining PLDT Home Fibr.
And for Palomata, who had a breakout year during last year's Open Conference, she joined the High Speed Hitters because of two men -- George Pascua and Raffy Mosuelo.
"Sumali ako sa PLDT dahil sa coaches," said Palomata. "Naging coach ko si Coach George sa national team tapos si Coach Raffy kasama ko na sa Air Force kaya mas pinili ko yung PLDT."
Palomata is just glad that Prado will be with her as well.
"Malaking bagay kasi naging kasama ko rin si Jovy sa Sta. Lucia. Iba yung pinakita namin sa Sta. Lucia last conference," the 6-foot-3 blocker opined. "Para sa akin, mas lalo pa namin maipapakita yung galing namin sa laro this conference."
Last year has been so good to Palomata.
Besides getting to fulfill her dream of being a pro player, she was able to play internationally as she was part of Choco Mucho in the 2021 Asian Women's Club Championship.
And for 2022, she hopes that she can finally get the one thing that has eluded her over the past five years -- a PVL championship.
"Goal ko sa team na ito is yung magpatuloy pa yung improvement ko kasi alam ko madami pa ako kayang maipapakita. Tsaka siyempre mabigay yung championship sa PLDT kasi kahit ako, hanggang second place lang ako lagi," she shared. "Sana ngayon makuha ko na yung championship."
