For the second straight year, a Creamline product was hailed as Miss Volleyball. After Tots Carlos,  Jia De Guzman, who has been playing in Japan for the past two years, was recognized for her achievements with Denso AiryBees and bronze medal finishes with Alas Pilipinas.

Valdez, a three-time Miss Volleyball, is a proud longtime teammate of De Guzman, who continues to be a selfless leader and brilliant playmaker.

“You’re just traumatized when you have these losses. At some point, you’re just glad you’re alive,” said Don Hornstein, an insurance law expert at the University of North Carolina. “And then, you have to turn to the business side of this. It’s tough.”

AirportWatch.PH spokesperson Ren delos Santos said in a statement, “Instead of delivering on its promise to modernize the airport, the DOTr (Department of Transportation) has implemented what feels like a cash grab.”

“We’re very very proud of her. We just can’t wait to see her again but we’re just happy sa lahat ng mga recognition na binibigay niya rin not only for Creamline but also for the national team so we’re really looking forward to cheering her as part of the Alas Pilipinas as well,” said Valdez, who has been the main spiker of Jia from Ateneo to Creamline.
