We also know that Jem is a very hard-working athlete, and her never give up attitude will suit our style and system,&quot; he added.Ferrer will also be a valuable mentor to Wong, who starred as Choco Mucho&#x27;s setter in the Open Conference.&quot;It will be a good Deanna-Jem tandem for us, knowing Jem&#x27;s experience that she can share to Deanna,&quot; Almadro said.The PVL is targeting to open its new season in the first quarter of 2022.
