It was why hold them? So that&#x27;s what we were discussing with president Tats Suzara. Sabi niya, wala nang game, so pwede nang bumalik. Why will we hold on to them if the club thinks we need them?&quot; said Palou. &quot;Very accommodating si president Tats Suzara.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2025/8/21/pvl-creamline-escapes-cignal-in-5-for-triumphant-start-in-invitational-1848"><strong>READ: PVL: Creamline escapes Cignal in 5 for triumphant start in Invitational<br/></strong></a></div><p>As of writing, Alas Women&#x27;s Alleiah Malaluan and Jen Nierva have already played for PLDT and Chery Tiggo, respectively.</p><p>Among those we could see play in the ongoing PVL Invitational are Dawn Catindig (Cignal), Vanie Gandler (Cignal), and Dell Palomata (PLDT).</p><p>With Zus Coffee joining the Invitational mix, we could also see Thea Gagate once again for the Thunderbelles.</p><p>Notably, Jia de Guzman of Creamline was not included in the team roster for this tournament, according to the<a href="https://pvl.ph/teams/creamline-cool-smashers"><strong> PVL website.</strong></a></p><p>Palou added that national team practices will still take place in preparation for the 2025 SEA Games on December.</p><p>&quot;I think, yeah, they will be practicing. Ang usapan namin is I think that the teams, they will allow the national team players to train with the national team three times a week until the end of this tournament,&quot; Palou said.</p><p>&quot;After that, may plano pa ata silang to train abroad but they’re looking for a schedule for when they can do that,&quot; he added.</p>
