PVL teams are looking stacked ahead of the Invitational Conference.
This has been one of the craziest and busiest offseasons in the PVL to date.
Some of the country’s brightest and most talented stars from the UAAP have decided to go pro, joining teams left and right.
Aside from that, fans also saw some of their favorite veterans make a return to the pro ranks.
Who are the best signings? We listed six of the must-watch names in the upcoming PVL Invitational Conference.
Sisi Rondina
Arguably the biggest move this offseason was Sisi Rondina signing with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans.
With Rondina in the team, the Flying Titans will have that go-to scorer they have always needed.
Fans will definitely expect a breakthrough run from Choco Mucho this time around. First podium finish incoming?
Bernadeth Pons
Rondina's beach volleyball partner, Bernadeth Pons, has also made her way to the PVL. And she is going to no less than the sister team of her sister's team.
Pons is joining a stacked Creamline Cool Smashers squad looking to defend their crown.
The former FEU Tamaraw provides more depth to the champion squad, boosting their chances for a successful title defense.
Eya Laure
The Chery Tiggo Crossovers definitely won big during this offseason. Aside from signing Eya Laure, they also signed several decorated UAAP stars like Cess Robles, Jennifer Nierva, Joyme Cagande, and Imee Hernandez.
Of course, the main catch here is Laure given her pedigree in the UAAP and in the national team.
Expect a superb offense from the pairing of Laure and Mylene Paat in this PVL Invitational.
Faith Nisperos
While it was a forgettable UAAP Season 85 for Faith Nisperos, she will have a fresh start as she heads over to the PVL.
Nispersos is suiting up with the young Akari Chargers squad as they try to become contenders in the league.
The former Ateneo Blue Eagles standout will have a chance to be a star for the Chargers as she hopes to regain her dominant form once more.
Jovelyn Gonzaga
Making her return to the PVL after her Philippine beach volleyball team duties is Jovelyn Gonzaga.
The Bionic Ilongga is not just returning to the pro league, but she is also making a comeback to her old team, the Cignal HD Spikers.
Gonzaga will team up with familiar partner and best buddy Rachel Anne Daquis as they also welcome the signing of Nisperos' Ateneo running mate Vanie Gandler.
The HD Spikers will look to rebound from a dismal All-Filipino campaign, where they finished sixth and missed the semifinals.
Jolina Dela Cruz
Jolina Dela Cruz joining the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers was inevitable.
The former De La Salle Lady Spiker will be joining her ates along with Mars Alba and Jov Fernandez of the FEU Tamaraws.
Whether Dela Cruz will have an immediate impact in the team remains to be seen, but securing a player like her will always be crucial for any team.
