ALYSSA Valdez was the biggest surprise omission from the starting lineup of the 2026 PVL All-Star Showcase.
Instead, fellow Creamline standout Jema Galanza and Capital1 super rookie Bella Belen secured the two outside hitter spots for Team Heart after three weeks of fan voting.
Completing the Rald Ricafort-led squad are Jia De Guzman, Erika Santos, Pangs Panaga, Majoy Baron, and Justine Jazareno.
Over at Team Hustle, Kianna Dy pulled off a late surge to claim the starting opposite hitter role over Tots Carlos. She will be joined by fellow PLDT standouts Kim Fajardo, Kath Arado, and Mika Reyes, forming a strong core for the Shaq Delos Santos-led side.
National team mainstays Bernadeth Pons, Eya Laure, and Fifi Sharma round out the Team Hustle starters.
The rest of the 14-player rosters will be completed through a broader selection process involving coaches, players, team managers, the PVL Control Committee, referees and technical officials, the broadcast group, production staff, and the PVL Press Corps.
The reserves will be named on April 20 at the end of the week-long vote by various league stakeholders.
