MANILA – Sadly, Jolina dela Cruz's anticipated debut for the Farm Fresh Foxies will come a bit later.
During the press launch of the 2024 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Wednesday in Mandaluyong City, Farm Fresh team manager Kiara Cruz told reporters their prized recruit will be out for the upcoming volleyball tourney.
"I’m really setting it straight — Jolina won’t be able to play muna this conference. Of course, siyempre priority namin ‘yung health niya," Cruz said.
