“At first, medyo tinignan ko pa kung okay lang kasi nga medyo busy ako and lagi akong paalis-alis papunta sa family ko,” she said.
With an added responsibility being the player representative in every PSL special events, Daquis promises to do her duty as ambassador.
“I know naman 'yung Superliga is very understanding sa mga ganoon ko. Kahit naman alam kong busy ako, I'll still do my role,” she vowed.
