Sangmuang has an ACR, but has been a resident for only three years.Ahomiro will join a talented Perlas crew bannered by former University of the Philippines standouts Kathy Bersola and Nicole Tiamzon, and former Ateneo stars Jem Ferrer, Ella de Jesus, and Gizelle Tan.However, they will be missing veteran Dzi Gervacio, who has taken a leave of absence to study in the United States.Perlas clashes with Air Force in the Open Conference&#x27;s opening day on Saturday at 6:30 p.m., with Creamline battling Adamson-Akari at 4 p.m. at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan.The other participating teams are: Hapee Toothpaste, Bali Pure, Power Smashers, and defending champion Pocari Sweat.For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
