If needed,&quot; she added.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/football/news/2020/06/18/after-100-day-wait-english-soccer-returns-takes-knee-68874">READ: After 100-day wait, English soccer returns and takes a knee</a></li></ul>Lazaro-Revilla, a two-time UAAP champion with the Lady Eagles, is confident that Macandili and the country&#x27;s other young liberos are more than capable of holding their own in international competitions, however.Macandili, in particular, is already a veteran of several international tournaments and in 2019 was named Best Libero in the second leg of the ASEAN Grand Prix.&quot;We&#x27;re in capable hands, with (former University of the East star) Kath Arado, with Dawn Macandili,&quot; said Lazaro-Revilla, who now plays for Choco Mucho in the Premier Volleyball League. &quot;We have a huge pool of talent sa libero position, mga younger players.&quot;When asked to choose between Macandili and Arado -- two of the finest liberos to come out of the UAAP in recent years -- Lazaro-Revilla stressed that both were very good.&quot;But,&quot; she added, &quot;Dawn Dawn has more experience than Kath, &#x27;yun &#x27;yung lamang ni Dawn kay Kath.&quot;&quot;But Kath will get there, eventually. More experience lang, especially in the international scene,&quot; Lazaro-Revilla predicted.Arado and Macandili were the country&#x27;s liberos in the 2019 SEA Games held last December in Manila.
