JEMA Galanza went through a rare rough patch over the last few weeks with Creamline.
Her last four PVL matches saw the former league MVP produce three nine-point games and a conference-low five markers.
Galanza bared how she’s been dealing with undisclosed personal battles that have affected her form and confidence in games.

“Kailangan ko lang talaga ibangon sarili kasi medyo hindi ko nakukuha ‘yung laro ko the past few games,” said Galanza.
It’s a slump which she believes is a tough yet necessary to go through before league action heats up in the playoffs.
“‘Yung mga struggles ko naman, ito rin ‘yung way para makita ko kung ano ‘yung mga need ko i-improve,” Galanza said.
"Hindi lang naman ako, pati ‘yung team din kasi hindi lang din naman ako ‘yung nag-struggle, madami din pinagdadaanan ‘yung team namin.
Itong mga napagdadaanan namin, ito ‘yung tutulong samin umangat, makita namin ‘yung mga kailangan naming itama.”
More than her on-court hardships, it has also been a mental battle for Galanza involving things that go beyond the volleyball taraflex.
Her hope for the foreseeable future is to find a winning form of her own just like how Creamline has taken care of business so far this conference.
“Kung kalaban mo self mo, medyo mas mahihirapan ka. ‘Yun ‘yung winwork on ko na talagang labanan ‘yung mga negative na iniisip,” Galanza said.
“’Ito namang mga nafe-feel ko, ito rin naman magpapatatag sa’kin and sana ‘pag kailangan na, gagana na.”
