The former Philippine national team skipper and eight-time Philippine Superliga best middle blocker couldn’t hide her excitement in shifting gears to a new club for the first time in eight years.
“Actually, na-eexcite talaga ako to be a part of Chery Tiggo. Parang 'pag nagda-drive ka lang ‘di ba? Parang ang sarap umarangkada kasama ang Chery,” Maraño said.
“At the same time, 'yung mga players kasi from Chery, nakasama ko na sila from the national team — especially sina Mylene Paat, si Jasmine Nabor, si Shaya (Adorador), si Eya (Laure), (Jennifer) Nierva, and a lot more. So excited ako to be working with these players,” she added.
Roughly a decade since being hailed co-MVPs in the UAAP with the De La Salle Lady Spikers, Galang relished her second chance to play at a high level in the next chapter of her pro career with Maraño.
“I'm very thankful kasi may opportunity na ganito na maglaro sa Chery and super excited din kasi unang-una, first time ko lang din [na may] makasamang iba talaga so pumunta ako sa team na wala gaanong kakilala. And 'yun, thankful ako na kasabay at kasama ko si Tyang (Aby),” said Galang.
The Crossovers’ MVP-caliber pair becomes the third and fourth ex-Cargo Movers to find new homes in the PVL after Dawn Macandili-Catindig (Cignal) and Ivy Lacsina (Nxled).
