Two months na lang,&quot; said Valdez.&quot;I hope na lahat, makapag-support sa national team, and we&#x27;re really hoping na maganda ang journey natin sa national team,&quot; she added. &quot;Sabi nga nila, if it&#x27;s just the beginning, ituloy-tuloy na natin &#x27;yung program sa Philippine volleyball.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/pvl/news/2017/06/13/cool-smashers-end-club-volleyball-debut-bronze-medal-27290">READ: Cool Smashers end club volleyball debut with bronze medal</a></li></ul>Valdez was part of the 2015 national women&#x27;s team that placed fifth in the SEA Games from a pool of seven countries.Her inclusion in the national team pool this year was fraught with controversy, thanks in part to her non-participation in the &quot;Clash of Heroes&quot; last month which was supposed to serve as a tryout of sorts for members of the national team pool.However, Valdez still made it to the 18-woman pool, from which the final 12 players will be selected.&quot;We&#x27;re hopeful na maganda pa rin ang ipakita natin this SEA Games,&quot; said Valdez.For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
