    "I'm honored to be given this opportunity. I'm aware that it'll be hard, but it's actually easy to trust in the process because of all those who believe in me," Almadro said.

    The first order of business for Almadro will be naming the successors of women's team coach Shaq Delos Santos and men's team coach Rald Ricafort.
