By Kath Arado’s heart was full after playing in front of her family from Iligan as PLDT gave the crowd at Mindanao Civic Center Gymnasium a thrilling treat in a rare PVL On Tour stop in Tubod, Lanao Del Norte.
Arado received flowers and warm hugs from her family after PLDT completed a perfect PVL On Tour campaign by fending off Akari, 25-14, 26-24, 21-25, 25-20, on Saturday.
“Definitely, I’m very motivated. It’s not often that people outside Manila get to watch us play live. I also really wanted my younger sibling to see me, especially because they’re also a volleyball player. I want to inspire them through the way I play,” said Arado in Filipino. “Even when it’s tiring. I’m thankful that my family has always been supportive, whether I’m here or in Manila. Being close to home is just extra motivation.”
