Inspired by her resurgence that led to Petro Gazz’s breakthrough PVL All-Filipino Conference triumph, Myla Pablo is determined to continue the Angels’ winning ways while flying the flag in the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Champions League.
“Honestly, it’s overwhelming because everything’s been going up lately—one good thing after another. I’m really thankful and I just want to grab every opportunity that comes my way. The AVC is a different kind of challenge—it’s international, so I know I have to be extra prepared,” Pablo told Inquirer Sports in Filipino.
