Fans sentimental over Ponggay Gaston’s move to Chery Tiggo

A new opportunity came in the way for Ponggay Gaston this 2023 as she joined the Chery Tiggo Crossovers after spending her professional career with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans.

The news came as a shock to many considering how close Gaston was with her now-former teammates. She was also a fan favorite among many Choco Mucho fans. 

For some fans, not being able to see Ponggay with Bea De Leon or Deanna Wong really hurt them. The trio have been together since their college days in Ateneo, but now, Gaston will have an opportunity to grow on her own with Chery Tiggo.

While many fans were saddened by the move, they were also happy for Gaston as she will be given more playing time to improve and show off her skills in the PVL. During her time with the Flying Titans, Gaston had to compete for minutes with the likes of Desiree Cheng and Isa Molde.

I'm happy for Ponggay. She's really good para maging bench warmer lang.

Some Choco Mucho fans, meanwhile, are hoping that they could get a serviceable or an even better replacement for Gaston.

Since wala na si Ponggay at Si Palec sa Choco, sana kunin nila either of the ff for replacement
