Jaja Santiago hoping for positive turnout in ongoing Japanese naturalization bid

May 8, 2024 01:20 PMFilipina middle blocker Jaja Santiago is hoping for a successful Japanese naturalization as her bid remained in the process.

But Santiago initially started her bid to officially become a Japanese citizen last year after tying the knot with Japanese coach Taka Minowa in 2022, who also calls the shots for PVL team Nxled Chameleons. There, the former national team member was named as one of the league’s Best Six on top of clinching the Spiking, Blocking and Fighting Spirit awards.

Taking a much-needed pause from her professional career in Japan, Santiago still found herself meaningfully involved in Philippine volleyball.
