The new Farm Fresh Foxies will not set their education aside.
New Farm Fresh Foxies recruit Kate Santiago fully understands the gravity and meaning of turning pro and leaving behind the collegiate volleyball field.
Just like Trisha Tubu, Santiago's main consideration for transitioning to professional play is her family.
"Pinili ko munang maging praktikal kasi gusto na tumulong sa family ko," Santiago said on the Foxies' official Facebook page.
"Gusto ko naman ma-experience nila ‘yung may naaabot ako sa kanila."
It doesn't mean though that the former Adamson Lady Falcons will abandon their academic pursuit.
Santiago revealed that the Farm Fresh owner instructed them to finish their studies, even if they're already earning money in pro play.
"Ang maganda, tuloy pa rin ako sa pag-aaral.’ Yung kasi ang bilin ng owner ng Farm Fresh, na tapusin daw namin [ang pag-aaral namin]."
Not to shy away from the chance to grow, on and off the court, Santiago grabbed the opportunity.
"Kahit nasa pro na, excited pa rin talaga ako matuto,"
"Hindi ko sasayangin itong opportunity."
