Showing their volleyball prowess in the international arena, Negrense beach volleybelle Bernadeth Pons and Bacolodnon indoor volleyball player Fille Cainglet-Cayetano are set to represent the Philippine team in Thailand.
Being the pride of Talisay City, Negros Occidental, Pons will join the national women’s beach volleyball team along with Cherry Rondina, Dij Rodriguez and Gen Eslapor in two tournaments.
The duo will first compete in Roi-et in Thailand for the AVC Asian Beach Tour Roi-et Open from Sept. 10 to 12 and AVC Senior Women’s Beach Volleyball Championship from Sept. 14 to 17.
IRondina, Pons and Rodriguez will play their first international competition after bagging the bronze medal with Jovelyn Gonzaga in the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam last May.
Meanwhile, Bacolod City native Cainglet-Cayetano will join the Creamline-Philippines squad in the 2nd Asean Grand Prix which will begin this week in Nakhon Ratchasima.
This will be Cainglet-Cayetano’s second consecutive national team duty as she was also part of the Philippine team that placed sixth in the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Cup for Women held in the country two weeks ago.
Joining the team are Julia de Guzman, Diana Carlos, Celine Domingo, Jeanette Panaga, Michele Gumabao, Jorella de Jesus, Risa Sato, Pauline Soriano, Kyla Atienza, Kyle Negrito, Rosemarie Vargas and Rizza Mandapat.
