IN an offseason of changes at the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), Chery Tiggo has been shaken up to its core.
Chery Tiggo skipper Mylene Paat is now tasked to carry the load for a former PVL champion left without head coach Clarence Esteban and the Santiago sisters, Akari-bound Dindin and Japan import Jaja.

The 2022 PVL Reinforced Conference MVP, however, believes that change is inevitable and has come to accept the losses and moved forward.
"May aalis, may mawawala, at may mga bagong darating [kaya]. Siguro kailangan lang namin i-accept kung sino at kung ano 'yung nandiyan," Paat said.
Champion coach Aaron Veles and new addition Pauline Gaston are set to fill the void, but it will be Paat who will carry the task of keeping Chery Tiggo in the title picture.
Paat is ready, preferring to look at the departure of Esteban and the Santiagos not as a setback but as a challenge.
"Actually, big challenge [ito] sa akin pero hindi ko siya [tinuturing] na problem kasi mas na-eexcite ako, mas marami akong natutulungan [na teammates ko], at mas maraming blessings na na-aachieve."
